Description:Susan Harris is alone in the house that has been automated by her computer-genius husband when, suddenly, doors lock, windows slam shut and the phone stops working. Susan is trapped by an intruder—but this is no ordinary thug. Instead, the trespasser is the computer—named Proteus—an artificial brain which has learned to reason, Susan Harris is alone in the house that has been automated by her computer-genius husband when, suddenly, doors lock, windows slam shut and the phone stops working. Susan is trapped by an intruder—but this is no ordinary thug. Instead, the trespasser is the computer—named Proteus—an artificial brain which has learned to reason, and to terrorize. Julie Christie, as the unsuspecting Susan, dominates this taut techno-thriller based on the Dean Koontz novel. Packed with suspense, surprise, and special effects, Demon Seed follows Susan's desperate attempts to outmaneuver and outthink her captor. Then Susan learns what Proteus wants: its own child, conceived in her womb and destined for domination.

"Ridiculous yet actually quite chilling sci-fi nightmare of Artificial Intelligence gone haywire.
Julie Christie does well considering she's the only person on screen for the most part, but bad special effects let it down.

"In the 70's everybody seemed to be scared of evolving technology and Demon Seed is the product of that era. Demon Seed reminds us the things what makes us human beings. One of the few movies that has "Sex With Robot" as a IMDB keyword. Stupid and misogynist but also off the wall experience. "
