Demon Seed (1977)

Hoezo in KINO

Julie Christie is fantastic as a lady-in-peril heroine, besieged in her own house by her husband’s HAL 9000-like supercomputer with revenge on its artificial mind, unhappy with his creator’s capitalist plans. It’s an uneven battle from the start when the attacker controls every power socket and electrical appliance in the house, yet this exhilarating 70’s thriller keeps you firmly on your seat’s edge thanks to its visual hysteria and the layered performance by Christie. English language without subtitles.
