What do 2001: A Space Odyssey and Rosemary’s Baby have in common? Nothing. But their baby would be called the Demon Seed. Let your body and soul immerse in this visionary IT horror from elusive auteur Donald Cammell (White of the Eye). A smart home may be a nice thing. But it's one thing when a machine accidentally makes an americano with cream, and another when a supercomputer traps you in your home to inseminate you. Cammell transformed the pulp subject matter into a thought-provoking, visually challenging polyhedron. Sci-fi horror Demon Seed dissects valid questions about the human-machine interplay. The main role of Susan was then surprisingly taken by Oscar-winning star Julie Christie who suddenly found herself in the shackles of science-fiction sexual bondage, from which her career regrettably never recovered.
