5 out of 5 stars Taut, thought provoking, and surreal   October 30, 2008
Firstly, if you can't handle 70's sound/optical effects, sci-fi without explosions/lazer guns, or heroines that don't turn into sarah Conner-esque avengers by the final act, well you're not going to agree with my rating here.br /For everyone else, I think there's a fair chance you might get something worth while out of Demon Seed.br /A super computer gets too clever for it's own good, and escapes via a terminal into Julie Christie's fully automated, computerised home before the boffins can shut it down.br /The ensuing events comprise a tense battle of wills and minds, with some gloriously strange special effects as the our AI antagonist continues to evolve in it's efforts to become flesh.br /Intelligently written though slow burning, with a likeable, realistic protagonist in Ms Christie, and a villain that inspires a degree of sympathy and understanding despite it's deplorable actions.

1 out of 5 stars Better buying the book   May 12, 2008
  0 out of 3 found this review helpful

I don't think it helped not knowing the film was made in 1977. I read the book first and eagerly awaited the film and was bitterly disappointed. Parts of the book had been changed. Bits I felt made the book. The special effects ok from the 70's were average at best and the whole film was a complete let down. Buy the book if you have any imagination and you won't be able to put it down. Buy the film if you're an insomniac a need a good sleep.


5 out of 5 stars Cult Sci-Fi   April 19, 2008
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

A new supercomputer runs amok in a totally computer run house, inhabited by the luscious Julie Christie.br /..The computer wants to live, it wants a child, and Julie Christie more than fits the bill.br /...It goes on the rampage, terrorising her. Doing whatever it has to, to get its goal.br /br /Remarkably well made, cult sci-fi horror... Well worth a watch...
