138. Demon Seed (1977)

March 6, 2014

Based on the Dean Koontz novel of the same name, Demon Seed was a pretty cool movie. It had some really intense special effects which today would have all been done with CGI. A group of scientists created a super-computer called Proteus (voiced by Robert Vaughn). One of the creators of Proteus sets it up in his house, and it begins to develop an unnatural obsession with his wife (Julie Christie). When the husband is away, Proteus takes total control of the house and eventually impregnates the poor woman, leaving her to give birth to some kind of human/android hybrid creature. The scientists shut down and destroy Proteus, but it becomes evident that it is too late, and his 'demon seed' has already been spawned. This movie really worked as a suspenseful horror, but it could also work pretty well as a pro-choice video for anyone considering an abortion, complete with a man attempting to stop the woman from trying to get rid of the evil computer rape baby, even though she was the one who was tortured and forced to go through all the horrors of being molested by a machine and subsequently giving birth.
