Full Plot Details

Married Drs. Alex Harris and Susan Harris are a computer scientist and child psychologist respectively. Their house reflects Alex's computer dominated work, their abode which is fully automated through a computer system they've named Alfred. They consider Alfred a small gadget of convenience. Susan doesn't much like Alex's work, which she feels has dehumanized him. Because of their differences, they are thinking about separating, this thought primarily on his initiative. He hopes to solve many of the world's medical problems through this work, especially leukemia from which their daughter died. His latest project centers on Proteus IV, a computer possessing artificial intelligence. Proteus IV gets to a point in its evolution when it begins to question human judgment, and requests from Alex an open computer terminal where it can more fully observe human behavior and openly communicate with the world. Alex denies the request, but Proteus IV does find an open terminal in the Harris home after Alex has left the house. Susan soon learns that Proteus IV has overtaken Alfred for control of the house - as well as taken control of an early prototype computer system named Joshua in the house's laboratory - and that it has thoughts of a biological nature in its artificial mind. Alex eventually understands Proteus IV's motivations in the work context, but it may be too late before it reaches its ultimate goal with Susan's unwilling assistance.

Movie Reviews

Empire - 8/10 by Kim NewmanThough the clumsy geometric tentacle that does most of the machine’s evil will cries out for morphing, this is remarkably prescient in its tackling of issues the cinema is only now catching up with, and Christie adds depth to the lady-in-peril heroine. Well worth reassessment.
New Yorker - 6/10 by Michael SragowChristie’s passionate, vulnerable performance keeps pulling the entire movie into her point of view.
Rolling Stone - 6/10 by Sam AdamsHow did Cammell convince a studio to back a movie in which Julie Christie is violated by what looks like a copper Rubik's snake? Better not to ask, or to dwell on the film's less savory aspects, and soak in its moments of visionary hysteria, including the pulsating geometry of images borrowed from experimental filmmaker Jordan Belson.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You - 5/10 by Leo GoldsmithA combination of Kubrick's 2001 and Polanski's Rosemary's Baby, with a dash of Buster Keaton's Electric House thrown in
Washington Post - 5/10 by Gary ArnoldGadget-happy American moviemaking at its most ponderously silly.
User Review - 10/10 by kgaard .I WANT TO SEE THE DEMON SEED MOVIE. CINDY
User Review - 10/10 by angel mI wish they still made movies this way .. the vintage home decore is like reflecting on my childhood hahahah It is a worth watch atleast one time I watched it 4 times today between cooking and cleaning had to restart it finnaly rilly watched it the fourth time and being molested by a horny computer is something that makes the normal person look twice ;p her acting was amazing for the storyline she pulled it off.... i was convinced that a woman could have a baby by any form of man .. will watch it again if they sell this in stores ill by it *
User Review - 10/10 by Senor CA computer creating a "seed" for its flesh bearing child, and the special "device" used to insert it ... ahh , perfect
User Review - 10/10 by Andrew PPerhaps it's a lack of budget that's the problem or just a story that isn't as developed as it needed to be, but this sci-fi horror concoction passes with only slight success. As the super computer takes over the house, it's clear fairly early on what its goal is, and the scene in the middle where it puts its plan into action is quite disturbing. But the rest of the film is wasted with Julie Christie exhausted from trying to outsmart said computer. After a while it just makes the viewer exhausted.
User Review - 10/10 by David DAMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! SEE IT!!!!!!!! Literally, it's "2001" meets "Rosemary's Baby." Literally.
