No matter what people say, the older horror/thriller films are always the scariest, eerie, Saw, Paranormal Activity etc have nothing on this, this is creepy!
I have seen the horror movies : the reanimator, the fly, the fly 2, christine, IT, the terminator 1 and 2 , friday the 13th and halloween .....this movie is LAME AND TAME :I
I just saw this film a few months ago and I have to say, it was great. Unfortunately, this film was overshadowed by Star Wars. I consider it, one of those hidden sci-fi treasures of the 70s.
@llperez28 Yes, the 1977 film is taken from Koontz's 1973 novel, albeit a looser adaptation. All I can divulge is that Alex Harris is a more peripheral character in the book compared to Susan and Proteus.
original story but not very interesting. when i saw the baby's machine hand in goo it lost me. it really looked good until then. i understand they try to make it as entertaining as possible but a robot baby just isn't realistic.
I thought i made this film up in my mind because i could not find it anywhere until today! I had no name, just a slight mem of seeing something like it when i was like 5! I found it! YEA IT'S REAL! I'm BUYING NOW!
I remember how intense this movie was for me when I saw it back in those days as a kid ! A VERY original story, indeed ! Great special effects for its time, too !
The updated version of the book Demon Seed is fantastic, however this movie looks a bit silly. It looks like it strayed away from the book, at least from the updated version.
I remember the scene where the computer is talking to her about showing her things that no man can. I don't recall exactly what it was but it seemed to involve space or astronomy type things.
Its neat to see how each decade has its own interpretations of what technology terror looks like.
But yeah maybe this movie is one of the reasons I study artificial intelligence today.
This computer depiction was a bit perv of its life renewal ideas. The HAL 9000 was more asexual. Technically, Proteus was the inner thoughts of her husband, the inventor of it. Still, a great timepiece of fiction. I watched it every chance it showed on television.
