Seedling

About This Movie

So, 'Seedling' is a curious little entry in the sci-fi genre from 2017. The atmosphere is quite tense, really. You can feel the storm looming, almost like a character in itself. The pacing is slow but deliberate, which some might find frustrating, but I think it adds to the overall dread and uncertainty. The couple's encounter with the alien species is intriguing, and the practical effects have a certain charm, reminiscent of older sci-fi films—there’s a tangible quality to them that CGI often lacks. Performances are understated, which I appreciated; it feels authentic and grounded. It's not flashy, but it definitely leaves you pondering about otherness and connection, especially in the midst of chaos.
