Seeds of Destruction (2011 TV Movie)

Not exactly the root of evil.

[7/10 · 13 October 2011]

A Syfy channel original, THE TERROR BENEATH, fares a lot better than some other highly touted destruction flicks. A couple of young environmentalists Joe(Jesse Moss)and Kate(Luisa D'Oliveria)stake out a sight in hopes of taping some illegal dumping. Instead they videotape something that can effect the whole country if not the entire world. A humongous root system begins ripping up the land not unlike an earthquake. The root is actually growing and moving at a rapid rate. A government agent Jack Taylor(Adrian Pasder) teams with a well-known botanist Dr. Jocelyn Snow((Stefanie von Pfetten)to find the origins of this unusual threat. Miss Snow thinks the root system could be from an ancient seed from the Biblical Garden of Eden. The only person known to be in possession of such is a former partner of Snow's, Dr. Frame(James Morrison), who happens to be working on cultivating is own replica of the Garden of Eden. The seed that caused this root system is actually trying to purify the world from pollutants; not destroy it. Special effects are pretty decent; good thing because its the star of the movie.
