Scott Haze of Venom and Jurassic World: Dominion and Kate Lyn Sheil of The Sacrament and She Dies Tomorrow star in the upcoming horror thriller The Seeding, which will be having its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival next month.
The feature directorial debut of writer/director Barnaby Clay, The Seeding has the following synopsis: When a hiker gets lost in the desert, a gang of feral children propelled by haunting legacies traps him in a sadistic battle for survival with a frightening endgame.
The Tribeca write-up offers some more information: We can probably agree that growing up is hell, but growing up alone in the desert is another kind of hell altogether. That’s what one hiker (Scott Haze) finds out when he encounters a lost child while photographing a solar eclipse. What starts as an act of good Samaritanism turns into a deadly cat-and-mouse game between him, a group of menacing teenage boys, and a mysterious woman with a unique connection to them (Kate Lyn Sheil). From the very first scene of Barnaby Clay’s feature directorial debut, audiences will be on the edge of their seats. A slow-burning thriller from a prolific music video director, The Seeding is a stone-cold nightmare that confronts our fears of isolation and unchecked toxic masculinity headfirst. Boys will be boys, and in the vastness of the California desert, their worst impulses come out to play.
Slow burns don’t always play very well for me, but it sounds like there’s some interesting stuff going on in The Seeding, so I’d be glad to give it a chance.
