DEMON SEED. Donald Cammell, dir. USA: United Artists (S. F. Ency.: MGM), 1977. Based on the Demon Seed novel by D. R. Koontz (q.v under Fiction).

The film's end improves upon the novel's, but otherwise the film tells the same story. Discussed in The Mechanical God[1] by D. Palumbo, "Loving that Machine; Or, The Mechanical Egg: Sexual Mechanisms and Metaphors in Science Fiction Films."

Cf and contrast Zits: Smart House, for a comic(s) version of the smart-house.
