Post Mortem: An Interview with Sam Walker on The Seed (2022)
Writer and director Sam Walker joins E.L. King to talk about THE SEED (2022) — a twisted blend of body horror, sci-fi, gore, and dark comedy. What begins as a girls’ trip in the Mojave Desert quickly spirals into cosmic terror, alien erotica, and mind-bending madness. The film premiered at Beyond Fest in 2021 and is Walker's first full-length feature.
