Movie #39: Seed People

Welcome to Sci-Fi 100! 
100 Sci-Fi movies in 100 days!

"Seedpeople (1992)" is a super low-budget rip-off of the movie "Body Snatchers." It was written by Charles Band, owner of the low-budget movie cheese factory Full Moon Entertainment. He's the guy behind the Puppet Master franchise, Trancers, and Demonic Toys.
Anyhoo, it was directed by Peter Manooglan and stars Sam Hennings, Andrea Roth and Dane Witherspoon.




The plot: 
The citizens of Comet Valley are being taken over by seeds from an alien plant that has taken root there. A sheriff investigates the strange goings-on.

A guy who studies meteors returns to Comet Valley and teams up with his ex-girlfriend to take down the town people who are no longer human. They are now crazy pod people aliens.

Why is this guy wearing a light bulb on his head? Well, pod people are allergic to ultraviolet light! This keeps them from controlling his mind and getting close to him.

The special effects on this film look like a group of 5th graders were in charge of it. The creatures were made of rubber and were sooooo fake looking. When they would chase you they would transform into tumbleweed looking balls and roll after you... sort of like on the movie Critters. This movie is over the top cheesy! It has bad effects, bad acting and a bad story. It's great to watch late on a saturday night while you're finishing off that leftover pizza. Check it out and let me know what you think.
