“You live in a hell, woman! Held hostage by children!” Magnolia Pictures has revealed an official trailer for an indie horror film titled The Seeding, the first horror feature from filmmaker Barnaby Clay. This originally premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year, where they say it will keep viewers “on the edge of their seats.” Set for a VOD release in January. When a hiker gets lost in the desert, a gang of feral children propelled by haunting legacies traps him in a sadistic fight for survival with a frightening endgame. “A slow-burning thriller from [the] prolific music video director, The Seeding is a stone-cold nightmare that confronts our fears of isolation and unchecked toxic masculinity headfirst.” The Seeding stars Scott Haze and Kate Lyn Sheil. It was filmed on location in Kanab, Utah. This is a strange and disturbing trailer, with a lot of freaky things going on with these feral “stray” kids. Doesn’t look like it is going to end well for him.
Here’s the first official trailer (+ poster) for Barnaby Clay’s The Seeding, direct from YouTube:
Intro from Tribeca: “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). As it turns out, The Seeding is more than just an eye-catching title. It’s something much more terrifying.” The Seeding is both written and directed by British filmmaker filmmaker Barnaby Clay, making his first narrative feature after the doc SHOT! The Psycho-Spiritual Mantra of Rock previously, plus music videos and short films. Produced by Brian R. Etting. This initially premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. Magnolia Pictures will debut Clay’s The Seeding in select US theaters + on VOD starting January 26th, 2024 early next year. Visit the film’s official site. Look scary?
