A man is tormented body and soul in an exclusive excerpt from the upcoming New England Gothic horror film SEEDS, “a story of temptation and monsters,” that you can see after the jump.

Dark Star Pictures and Uncork’d Entertainment release SEEDS to select theaters September 13 and on VOD/DVD September 24. Owen Long directed from a script by Steven Weisman, with Trevor Long (OZARK), Andrea Chen, Garr Long and Kevin Breznahan starring. The synopsis: “After a night of debauchery spirals out of control, Marcus [Long] retreats to his family home along the New England coast. Solitude is disturbed when his brother asks Marcus to look after his estranged nephew and niece. As days pass, solace escapes him; he feels baited by a dark force. Is he losing his mind or has something terrible burrowed deep within him? Incubating. Waiting until the climate is right. Haunted by his deepest fears, Marcus struggles not to succumb as he fights to protect Lily [Chen], his beloved niece, from a monster that lies in wait.”
