Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Another silly SyFy Channel offering. Having run out of natural disasters, aliens, and monsters elsewhere, the producers turn to the idea of a gigantic, fast-spreading killer plant that proceeds to wreak havoc across America. Yes, this is an ecological disaster movie just as nonsensical as the one portrayed in M. Night Shyamalan's THE HAPPENING, although not quite as unintentionally funny as that movie.The story involves some good-natured scientists who are ripped off by a renegade, who ends up unleashing terror upon the world. It's a little like the Nedry situation in JURASSIC PARK, except without even that film's level of believability. What this all boils down to is a repetitive series of scenes in which giant roots spring up from below the ground and smash everything to pieces.The usual problems are present in this SyFy production: bad acting, a weak script, dodgy CGI effects, a general lack of realism. I guess most of us will expect these things by now, but SEEDS OF DESTRUCTION is just too repetitively staged to appeal to B-movie fans. It's root attack followed by root attack, with nothing to break up the monotony.

Don't think I have a good opinion about this terrible movie. There's nothing to save from the fire of hell but one thing is, at least a bit, interesting: the plot. Seeds from the Garden of Eden that destroys contaminated earth? You must recognize that it is very very original! But that's all. If you have something interesting to do, like cut your nails or watch the grass growth, please forget that movie. But if you are bored in your sofa you can watch this and laugh thanks to it's horrible special effects, the horrible performances and the plot's failures like "oh, the copter isn't too damaged but you killed my pilot, don't worry, I can pilot it cause I'm a very smart doctor". II must confess that in that precise moment I'm a bit bored cause I'm watching the film. And you know one of the strongest points of this kind of productions? Curiosity. Yes, you will see the entire movie only to know the end or the next failure in the plot. Long life to SyFy productions, the best comedy films that were not planned and filmed as comedy films.

Militant environmentalists Kate and Joe witness, and videotape, the rapid growth of a gigantic root system that literally begins mowing through the country like an earthquake.What we have here is another great performance from Jesse Moss in a film that is less than stellar. I have enjoyed his work in "Dear Mr Gacy" and the amazing "Tucker and Dale", and really hope that Moss rises up to the next level. He is an A-list actor who works in the B-movie world, and that is just unfortunate.And then we have Paul Ziller. Trying to determine whether or not Ziller is a good director is hard to say. We cannot really blame him for the cheesy titles or the cheesier special effects of his films. He is working for SyFy, and that is clearly their decision. What happens if he breaks free of the bad graphics and is given a real budget? I think he might have potential! Anyway, the film is neither good nor bad. It is a SyFy film. If you want to be entertained without having to think for 90 minutes, this is a fine choice.

A Syfy channel original, THE TERROR BENEATH, fares a lot better than some other highly touted destruction flicks. A couple of young environmentalists Joe(Jesse Moss)and Kate(Luisa D'Oliveria)stake out a sight in hopes of taping some illegal dumping. Instead they videotape something that can effect the whole country if not the entire world. A humongous root system begins ripping up the land not unlike an earthquake. The root is actually growing and moving at a rapid rate. A government agent Jack Taylor(Adrian Pasder) teams with a well-known botanist Dr. Jocelyn Snow((Stefanie von Pfetten)to find the origins of this unusual threat. Miss Snow thinks the root system could be from an ancient seed from the Biblical Garden of Eden. The only person known to be in possession of such is a former partner of Snow's, Dr. Frame(James Morrison), who happens to be working on cultivating is own replica of the Garden of Eden. The seed that caused this root system is actually trying to purify the world from pollutants; not destroy it. Special effects are pretty decent; good thing because its the star of the movie.
