Is it Wall-E? Is it Short Circuit? No, It’s Really Not.

One of the weirdest evil robots of the 1970s is in the movie Demon Seed, and he’s referred to in this original preview as “a sensually self-programmed non-being.” This A.I., who kind of looks like cuddly pal Wall-E in this picture, imprisons Julie Christie in her high tech house and rapes her so that she’ll bear his cyber-baby. There are a lot of psychedelic robo-rape scenes, as well as weird psychological turmoil, in this tale of an A.I. named Proteus who decides to get it on with his creator’s wife. Even if she doesn’t want to. If you are gacked out by all the cooing over Wall-E this weekend, Demon Seed is the perfect antidote. [Demon Seed via IMDB]
