a fun watch, though; and proteus has some great lines.
Remarkably good, though dated, techno-thriller by the late, great Donald Cammell. Essentially a two-character piece with some surprisingly decent special effects for the time (though not without its embarrassingly bad ones as well). Julie Christie gives a dynamic performance.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Demon Seed" !
