Synopsis

Alexandra is a lively college student returning to live with her roommates Jessica and Breanne after the summer holidays. After a night of drinking, Alex agrees to a psychic reading to learn about her future with her boyfriend, Brian, but during the reading a dramatic turn of events causes SOMETHING to go drastically wrong. When Alex awakes the next day, she cant remember the events of the night before. She begins to hear creepy noises, hallucinate, black out and receive unidentifiable scratch marks all over her body. Afraid shes going crazy, she seeks help from her friends but Jessica, Breanne and Brian are incapable of comprehending the scope of the darkness descending UPON her. Instead, Alex receives help from a school professor and his father who have dealt with the supernatural before. But as Alexs condition worsens, it becomes apparent that it may already be too late to stop the entity from using Alexs body as a gateway into our world (IMDb.com).

suite92 The introduction suggests a possession in 1972 terminated by the killing of the possessed young woman by a Catholic priest. Then we shoot forward to the present, say 2012, the year of the film's release.Alex rides home from an airport with Jessica; they arrive at the new house where they meet Breanne, and soon Brian. Brian was Alex's boyfriend, but he had been intimate with Brianne when Alex arrived. Alex's grandmother has been ill, which was why she was gone most of the summer. Brian acts like things are still good between them.That night they go to a party. Brian makes an excuse about needing to be with his father, and leaves the party early. As Jessica and Alex walk home a bit drunk, Jessica insists on stopping at a psychic's shop to check out whatever is needed to see the future.Sigh. So let's see, we've got sexual infidelity, drunkenness, and messing about with occult implements. In the setting of Catholic mythos, this means there has to be at least one bad consequence coming up.Jessica is incredibly insulting to the psychic, referring to her as a gypsy to hippie crossbreed, a 'gyppie.' This fits in with the plot, but what a terrible thing to say to someone you are going to for a service. The psychic asks for cash; Jessica supplies some for Alex to get a reading. The psychic guesses that Alex is an Aries, then asks which kind of cancer it was. Alex takes that to refer to her grandmother. The psychic goes on to say that Alex's mother has passed; the mother is worried for Alex. The psychic sees someone with Alex, and commands them to show themselves. The whatever takes possession, or at least a toe-hold with Alex then.Alex gets home OK, which seems unlikely. Then the signs start showing up: electrical appliances start of their own accord; things go bump in the night; whispering voices; the next day, unexplained partially healed lacerations.This is 30 minutes in. Bump in the night goes on for quite a while. Brian continues to cheat on Alex with Breanne. Alex starts to sleepwalk, in a creepy way. Alex and Jessica discuss this the next morning. Alex starts researching possession in the library and online. She does not seem to have the tools to get out of her situation.People start to notice. She meets with a mixed bag of effective and ineffective advice and help. The cheating boyfriend is not all that helpful, nor is the well-intended professor at first. Soon enough, Brian just blames the whole thing on her so he can break off the relationship. Jessica, at least, is able to produce calm for short periods.Things get much worse for Alex.Will Alex seek help? If so, does she get help? Will Alex be freed from the possession?------Scores------Cinematography: 6/10 The introductory sequence mixed with the credits just stank on ice. The closing credits were hideous as well. The actual movie, with these black holes removed, was not that bad.Sound: 5/10 Over-driven and unhelpful, in places; nicely tension building in others.Acting: 4/10 Most of the performances were amateurish. Shantelle Canzanese was fairly good as Jessica.Screenplay: 5/10 The writing establishes context quickly, which was nice. After the establishing phase, the action moves quite slowly. Much of the dialog is incredibly bad, which makes it worse.
artpf This movie is about Alex, a returning college student who moves in with her girlfriends after the holidays. They go out and have quite a few drinks and on the way home Alex and her friend Jessica go to a psychic where Alex has an episode and freaks out her friend and the psychic. The next day Alex doesn't have any memory of what happened and her friends think there's something going on with her. Over time, she starts having things happen to her, scratches, visions and ultimately rape from some being. Her friends start to worry about her even more and things take a turn for the worst when she loses control. What is inside her, and will they all live?This movie is nothing new...some of it is reminiscent of The Entity with Rosemary's Baby and some of The Exorcist thrown in for good measure, but it's actually pretty good in its own right, as long as you're not expecting a classic. It starts off making you think that it's going to be a kooky young kids get the devil in 'em movie, but soon takes a turn for the serious and it's pretty well done, overall.Yes, some of it is cheesy and some of it is silly, but it's watchable and fun. It will keep your attention for the most part. Try it, you might like it.
Dejan VasiljeviÄ Oh well, here is the review... The movie itself is acceptable. It is not bad... ...that much. I have the impression that the director wanted to copy the movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose, as I noted elements of that movie in this movie. I have nothing much to say about this film other than just deja vu. Nothing special. Not to sound harsh, but I lost time watching this movie. I really do not recommend others to watch this movie because there is nothing to see. At the beginning of the movie, I was expecting some terrible/scary scene at the end of it. I thought for the beginning of this movie to be just an introductory story into much more horrifying scenes. But none of this. The actors are bad. Too bad. I rated movie with a good 3, because the film does not deserve a higher rating... ...Too bad.
Mfrawgirl I watched a lot of Horror movies, and many, many bad ones. There are worse out there of course, but Devil Seed is not very far from the bottom.***MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS***The acting was quite... bad, except for Shantelle and a few other minor roles. The main character, Michelle, is beautiful, I agree. BUT, beauty alone, without any talent in acting whatsoever, cannot make a movie. That nose thing she was doing and her breathing while she was delivering her lines, were almost unbearable to hear. Sorry to the reviewers who put beauty before acting. The casting director did not do a very good job at all, he did exactly that. He chose beauty before acting. The ones who gave a quote of 10/10 DID NOT watch the movie, or worked on the film, or are friends of the people involved in the movie. No sane person can give this movie more than 5/10. And 5/10 is way too much for Devil Seed.You can have the best screenplay on earth, the best dialogue, the best director. BUT if the acting is not good, especially the main character, well, the film will suck. That's the case with Devil Seed.The dialogue was pretty ordinary as well, to say the least. The sound editing was ordinary. The special effects were based on the budget so, I can understand that. The main idea of the film itself was not original at all. It was long, dull and boring almost right off the bat.Don't expect to be scared, because you won't. Don't expect to jump, startled either, because again, you won't. Don't expect novelties, there aren't any. Don't expect the unexpected, you won't see any. So, don't expect anything and PERHAPS, you'll give it 2/10. Who knows?
