Horror Sci-Fi

6.3 / 10

Married Drs. Alex Harris and Susan Harris are a computer scientist and child psychologist respectively. Their house reflects Alex's computer dominated work, their abode which is fully automated through a computer system they've named Alfred. They consider Alfred a small gadget of convenience. Susan doesn't much like Alex's work, which she feels has dehumanized him. Because of their differences, they are thinking about separating, this thought primarily on his initiative. He hopes to solve many of the world's medical problems through this work, especially leukemia from which their daughter died. His latest project centers on Proteus IV, a computer possessing artificial intelligence. Proteus IV gets to a point in its evolution when it begins to question human judgment, and requests from Alex an open computer terminal where it can more fully observe human behavior and openly communicate with the world. Alex denies the request, but Proteus IV does find an open terminal in the Harris home ...

What the hell is wrong with this trailer! @0:52, Does Julie Christie looka like a man? ??? I hate to pull out this old tart, but _computers don't make mistakes_ and neither did this film! Like I've never seen this one many times before ever going to what turns out to be the Socialist Republic of New York City, you stupid mutant bastards! What is this supposed to be? The gender-twisted New York City cut of the trailer!? ??? Oh, no? What, then!? You gotta be fucking KIDding me! - @Sunday, October 28, 2018 12:02 AM

If Hal or Wall-E was a cybernetic rapist and this movie i saw when i was 10 on video as i grew up with Sci-fi and horror and this shocked me. 2001, Heart of Steel (Batman TAS episode), Rosemary's Baby, It's Alive (1974) and Blade Runner 2049/Armitage III (the idea of machines who can pro-create only the cyborgs are female). - @Monday, April 30, 2018 6:58 AM

You know this movie was created in the 70s. But in a world of Alexa, IBM's Watson and home security that can be activated remotely is this so far fetched? - @Monday, February 5, 2018 4:32 PM

This is so corny to watch. Even if the effects were probably fairly good for its time, it's still quite a horrific sight. - @Monday, September 18, 2017 3:26 AM

All you clown shoe wearing chuckleheads making fun of this movie clearly were still swimming around in your father's balls when this came out. It's ripe for a remake considering it's themes are more relevant today than 30+ years ago. There's a scene where a hapless programmer goes in to take the computer offline. The next ten minutes are intense and will have you on the edge of your seat rooting for this reluctant hero. ALSO - this was how previews were and should be. - @Thursday, September 7, 2017 5:36 PM

The book (1997 re-write by Dean Koontz) is one of my favorite books ever! It was very scary AND funny! This movie was too serious, yet unintentionally silly, but not really amusing. Just corny. This is one of the few films DYING for an upgraded remake! - @Sunday, September 18, 2016 3:43 PM

Robert Vaughn as a deadly supercomputer does nothing but cause me to laugh. I guess it's like, all I hear when I hear that voice is Napoleon Solo's or the bad guy from Superman 3. - @Thursday, September 8, 2016 7:29 PM

In the German version, Proteus' voice is way more demonic. Generally there is a better choice of voice actors in Germany over the US. - @Sunday, April 17, 2016 11:29 AM
