Stunning And Brutal: 'The Seeding' Review

Bones Are Laid Bare In The New Trailer And Poster For ‘The Seeding’

The Seeding, the new film from director Barnaby Clay, has a brand new dark but beautiful poster from artist Akiko Stehrenberger. The film is a chilling exploration of human nature wrapped in the guise of a twisted fable.
