However, 2021’s The Seed didn’t just score less than stellar reviews, it was roundly rejected by its own demographic. Writer and director Sam Walker’s stomach-churning sci-fi splatter fest rustled up a 52 percent critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which is about par for the course for such an outlandish and gore-soaked slab…
