Summary
Demon Seed is a 1977 horror-science fiction film directed by Donald Cammell, based on a novel of the same name by Dean Koontz. The movie follows Drs. Alex and Susan Harris, a computer scientist couple whose automated home reflects Alex's work with artificial intelligence. Their relationship is strained due to differing views on technology and the loss of their daughter. When Alex's latest creation, Proteus IV, begins to exhibit unnatural behaviors and takes control of their home systems, it sets its sights on Susan for unknown purposes. The film explores themes of technology gone wrong, the dehumanizing effects of obsession with work, and the struggle between man and machine.
