Hulu’s list of new releases for May 2024 is missing a certain amount of original series firepower. In the place of a blockbuster like The Handmaid’s Tale or Shōgun, however, is some content diversity.
The first of the month sees the premiere of four-episode British series Shardlake. This mystery drama takes place during the reign of Henry VIII and features none other than Thomas Cromwell (Sean Bean) investigating a murder. Other series of note this month include the Korean drama Uncle Samsik on May 15.
Movies are bit more interesting on Hulu in May. Teen comedy Prom Dates premieres on May 3. That will be followed by the 2023 Adam Drive film Ferrari on May 24. Before all that though is the real heavy hitter. You can watch Austin Butler’s acclaimed performance as The King in Elvis as early as May 1. But get to it quick before the Baz Luhrmann film departs on...

To coincide with The Seeding hitting OnDemand today, courtesy of Magnet Releasing, we have an exclusive clip just for Daily Dead readers!
"In The Seeding, a hiker lost in the desert takes refuge with a woman living alone, and soon discovers that she might not be there willingly. Directed by Barnaby Clay (Shot! The Psycho-Spiritual Mantra Of Rock), the film stars Scott Haze and Kate Lyn Sheil."
Director/Writer Barnaby Clay:"The Seeding deals with big themes, but in a small, contained way, almost like a brutal adult version of a children's story or fable - something to bore under your skin and stick around for a while. I hope, like all great horror, it speaks some truth about human nature, even if its a side we’d rather not see."

Independent filmmaking is not for the faint of heart, and writer-director Barnaby Clay just spent eight years learning that lesson en route to his first narrative feature, The Seeding.
Clay began his directorial career in music videos for artists such as Rihanna, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Gnarls Barkley, as well as short films and documentaries, like the Mick Rock doc, Shot! Stories of directors making the jump from music videos to feature films used to be more common when music videos were not only as visible as any movie or album release, but were also treated with nearly the same cultural cachet. The transition still happens, but not to the degree that it once did when the likes of David Fincher, Sofia Coppola and Jonathan Glazer launched their filmmaking careers off of their award-winning and artistic exploits in music videos.
Fortunately for Clay, he has two friends who successfully...

‘The Seeding’ Director Barnaby Clay on How to Jump From Short Films to Features — Horror Film School
Barnaby Clay is a true Renaissance man.
Having directed short films, music videos for artists ranging from David Bowie to Rihanna, a feature-length documentary on photographer Mick Rock, and even launched a visual art installation with Danger Mouse and his wife, Yeah Yeah Yeahs rocker Karen O, he is no stranger to expanding his creativity into different mediums.
Yet his newest frontier is feature-length narrative filmmaking, and his debut, the horror film “The Seeding,” expands on the striking imagery of his past work. The plot follows a man (Scott Haze) trapped in the desert, being taken care of by a mysterious woman (Kate Lyn Sheil), who may have an insidious agenda for keeping him safe from the roving gang of teens that are trapping him there.
The gorgeous and claustrophobic desert setting is the movie’s key special effect, as Clay keeps things bleak due to the harsh environment and...

A half hour into Barnaby Clay’s debut narrative feature, “The Seeding,” Scott Haze drops to his knees and begs, “Will someone just tell me What is going on?” It’s an uncharacteristically funny beat coming from a character deadass named Wyndham Stone, a photographer who explicitly shops at Brooks Brothers and boasts all the personality of half-off wrinkle guard. But the unintentionally self-aware line is an early pop of entertainment in this otherwise maddening experiment in atmospheric dread. “What Is going on?” you’ll wonder ad nauseam — only to be forced-fed an answer less satisfying than a hunk of moldy bread. At least the table setting works.

The feature debut of director Barnaby Clay, Magnet Releasing’s The Seeding centers on a hiker who gets lost in the desert and seeks refuge with a woman who is living alone.
He soon discovers that she might not be there willingly…
Today, as the film releases in theaters and on PVOD, Magnet has exclusively provided Bloody Disgusting with a sneak preview clip that you can watch below.
Clay tells us, “The film has been gestating for a long time, so it’s thrilling for people to finally get to experience it. I say ‘experience’ because I set out to make The Seeding as immersive as possible. It’s not a film to feel removed from, it’s an experience that drags you though the sand, the heat, the decay, and also natural beauty of the world it takes place in.

The opening moments of writer/director Barnaby Clay’s feature debut, The Seeding, call to mind extreme desert-set horror films like The Hills Have Eyes. A small child toddles through harsh, sandy terrain as he contently gnaws on a severed finger. The camera then watches overhead as a man parks his car and heads out to photograph a solar eclipse overhead, far from the bustling city and oblivious to any danger. It’s here where The Seeding quickly leaves familiar territory behind in favor of psychological arthouse fare.
The man, Wyndham Stone (Scott Haze), nearly makes it back to his car safe and sound until he comes upon a crying boy claiming to be lost. Wyndham knows something is amiss, but his guilt at the possibility of abandoning a child in peril overrides all warning signals. Before he knows it, he’s drawn into the wild and becomes lost himself.

Photographer Wyndham Stone has hiked into the desert to get shots of an eclipse. Hiking back out, he sees a somewhat older boy who is apparently lost, however after trying to help him, Stone finds himself lost and alone. He doesn’t find the way back to his car, but he does find a crater with a house in it, and a ladder leading down to it. Not recognizing an obvious trap when he sees it, he climbs down and finds the house has an occupant, a woman named Alina who offers him so dubious...

Writer-director Barnaby Clay, a longtime maker of documentaries and music videos, takes an artistic left turn into horror terrain with his feature narrative debut, The Seeding. The film finds Wyndham Stone (Scott Haze), after hiking through the desert and becoming lost, stumbling upon a house at the bottom of a large canyon hole occupied by the mysterious Alina (Kate Lyn Sheil). Naturally, things don’t go well for Wyndham once it’s clear that he’s trapped in the canyon and becomes the target of the desert inhabitants’ sadistic tricks and the nebulous motives of Alina herself, who keeps a strange relationship with the locals.
The film’s basic setup immediately recalls Woman in the Dunes, but Clay’s homages don’t end with the Teshigahara Hiroshi classic. With Wyndham being terrorized by malevolent hillbillies (shades of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre) and these tormenters’ vaguely Satanic rituals over a...

"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.

Scott Haze in The Seeding
A film set mostly in a single location which is vast in its ambition and existential scope, The Seeding screened at Tribeca earlier this year and is now part of the Frightfest line-up. Back in June I spoke with star Scott Haze, who plays the hapless hiker led astray by a mysterious child who finds himself trapped in a crater in the desert. Shortly afterwards I also met director Barnaby Clay. We spoke about the development of the story, its stunning location, the challenges of the shoot and the tricks which he used to bring depth to his supporting characters.
Barnaby, who trained in London, is pleased to hear that I’m in Paisley, which I identify by way of its famous abbey which features a gargoyle in the style of one of Hr Giger’s aliens. He tells me that back in his film school days he.

The Seeding, written and directed by Barnaby Clay, takes audiences on a slow-burn journey into a desolate desert canyon where nightmares come to life. With minimal dialogue and a limited cast, this atmospheric horror flick thrives on subtlety and implications of evil rather than relying on jump scares or explicit gore. While it may not fully capitalize on its untapped potential, The Seeding offers an eerie exploration of relationship dynamics within a secluded and mysterious setting.
While out photographing a solar eclipse, Stone (played by Scott Haze of What Josiah Saw) stumbles upon a lost boy looking for his parents. After hours of walking away from his car and any sign of civilization, Stone too becomes lost and separated from the boy. Desperate for help and a place to rest, Stone is relieved when he finds a woman living off-the-grid in a tiny cottage home at the base of a canyon…...

Scott Haze in The Seeding
Sometimes the wild, the feral and the otherworldly dwell frighteningly close to the ordinary world in which we live. In Barney Clay’s Tribeca hit The Seeding, a lost hiker out in the desert at night follows the sound of singing, descending a rope ladder only to find, when daylight comes, that it has been removed and he is trapped in a crater with unscalable walls and no way out. Taunted by a pack of feral youths, he is offered food and shelter by a woman in the same predicament, but unknown to him, he is part of something much bigger, and his every action risks digging him in deeper.
Scott Haze plays the hiker. I caught up with him early in the festival and, as we got talking, mentioned that the film reminded me of the science fiction epics of the Seventies.

Scott Haze of Venom and Jurassic World: Dominion and Kate Lyn Sheil of The Sacrament and She Dies Tomorrow star in the upcoming horror thriller The Seeding, which will be having its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival next month.
The feature directorial debut of writer/director Barnaby Clay, The Seeding has the following synopsis: When a hiker gets lost in the desert, a gang of feral children propelled by haunting legacies traps him in a sadistic battle for survival with a frightening endgame.
The Tribeca write-up offers some more information: 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,...
