Max Seed (Will Sanderson), a man responsible for the death of 666 people over a 6 year period, is on the loose. The cops receive videos portraying the death and decomposition of creatures ranging from a cockroach to a full-grown woman. They trace the videos to the residence of Seed. Detective Matt Bishop (Michael Paré) captures Seed, who is soon sentenced to death by electric chair.
A state law says that a convicted criminal who survives three jolts of 15,000 volts each for 45 seconds is legally permitted to go free. After the second shock fails to kill Max Seed, the Warden Arnold Calgrove (Ralf Moeller) and Dr. Parker Wickson (Andrew Jackson) decide to declare Seed dead rather than risk his escape. Seed is then buried alive and forgotten. Seed soon returns from the grave and begins a brutal vengeance tour through all those that wronged him.
The film was shown on the Weekend of Fear festival in Erlangen, Germany on April 27, 2007. Director Uwe Boll was there to present the film and also to answer questions. Before the film started Boll emphasized the brutality of the film. Furthermore he pointed out that PETA made archival recordings of animal cruelty available for the use in Seed's introduction, though this footage was obscured on-screen. Boll stated that this alteration had occurred in the processing laboratory without his knowledge.
The PETA clip used in this movie is footage of the process used to obtain mink fur to make coats for Jennifer Lopez's clothing line. This clip remains in the final release of the movie.
A press announcement for this movie claimed the story is based on true events; however, the notion that a convict who survives three jolts from the electric chair receives an automatic pardon is a false urban legend.
