Demon Seed
Demon Seed is a 1977 film, starring Julie Christie, and directed by Donald Cammell .
Dean Koontz is listed as one of the screenwriters.
Plot
A megacomputer called Proteus IV (voiced by Robert Vaughn - uncredited) attempts to take over a house and ultimately the world. Like Hal 9000, Proteus IV is supposedly a self-teaching and constantly growing computer.
The computer holds Susan Harris (Julie Christie) hostage in her house, and ultimately impregnates her by force, using modified genetic material, trying to create a kind of cyber-messiah. The film ends shortly after she has given birth to the 'demon seed'.
