Blood Valley: Seed's Revenge (2014)

As with a few of his more recent, non-video game adapted films, I enjoyed Uwe Boll's serial killer flick, "Seed", more than most. As far as Boll's body of work goes, the BAD definitely outweighs the good, overall, but I've dug a few of the more mean-spirited movies he's done in the past few years (Postal, Rampage). He only served as an executive producer on this sequel which, regardless of how much you hate the first, makes THAT look like "Citizen Kane". "Blood Valley: Seed's Revenge" - aka. "Seed 2: The New Breed" - is a new level of shittiness.

A group of bimbos are on an RV trip from Vegas, back to Chicago, when they experience some engine trouble in the desert. They end up falling into the clutches of Max Seed and his sadistic family who live in the desert and partake in religious, sacrificial rituals for some reason...

The major problem with this one is that the "story" is constantly jumping all over the fucking place - starting with the ending, then transitioning  out of NOWHERE to the beginning... then somewhere in the middle, then PRE-trip, then back to the end and so on and so forth. Why did they do this? Who the fuck knows, but it's beyond annoying and kills any kind of fluidity this shit-pile could've had. Not that a completely linear 'timeline' of events would've made this GOOD, but it would have made it at least a tad more watchable. Every actor sucks - except, maybe for Seed, who is just a big guy in a mask who is given only one guttural line - and the violence/gore factor is surprisingly 'light', aside from a gun barrel rape/murder which was nothing special (and is shown twice...). "Seed 2" is a completely worthless and amateurish shitfest.
