Your signature says it all.
Instead of feeling so victimized by a movie you had the option of not watching and then rushing here to post yet another tired Boll hating rant, perhaps you could have taken a few moments to research the film (reading some of the posts here on IMDB as a start) to better understand the director and the ideas behind SEED and some of it's shocking scenes. Better yet, listen to the director's commentary on the dvd and get the skinny straight from Dr. Boll himself.
No, it's not Citizen Kane. But as a horror dealing with man's propensity and love for violence that pushes that same violence to it's limits, it was a great statement by Boll and it got people's attention, including yours. Props to Dr. Boll.
As for your "cruelty to the animals comment", I will explain it once again since you didn't bother to research it yourself. The clip at the opening of the film was obtained from PETA and was intended to shock the viewer (which it did) and raise awareness about animal cruelty. It was one of many elements in the films overall theme of violence and not just gratuitous animal torture porn for the director and viewers to get their rocks off to. Boll has said himself that he was initially undecided about including the PETA clip and many people have credited him for his decision to go ahead with it.
At least try to understand something before over reacting to it.

You are absolutely right I should have done some research on this movie before watching it. I think I was maybe a bit too harsh on Mr Boll without knowing any facts going into watching it....I love horror movies and I have hundreds in my collection so i'm used to gore and shocking content but I draw the line at killing babies. Yes I know it's only a movie but it upsets me a great deal and it is uncalled for to show something like that in a movie that is supposed to entertain not disgust the audience.
Victims...........arent we all.

i dont see the difference of a baby being killed or an adult
people are people, makes no difference at all to me
on the other hand it wouldnt be fun to see james bond or bruce willis
killing babies cause that would make them films pathetic so i get your points
if you reacted like that for seed then i wonder how you would react on serbian film (garbage movie by the way)
