 
A
scientist named Dr. Alex Harris (Fritz
Weaver) developed a computerised brain
based on the workings of a human brain
that wanted more control of everything
and took over his wife and house refusing
to do his work for them and terrorises
holding her hostage as his whole idea is
to be reborn.
He wanted his child to feel the sun on
their face.
He was desperate enough that he would
kill their friends in order to be reborn
and would stop at nothing.
This film was a
very eerie, twisted but well done tale.
I had a difficult time understanding the
plot but I soon learned about it more and
more.
The story is definetely evil but it had
great effects in it too
Watch the ending of this film it is sooo
weird.
The acting is very
dated but still nicely performed.
We have a good starring role by Julie
Christie as she knows how to portray
her part when she realises that she is
trapped in her house under the power of a
computer.
We also have a terrific voice over
performance by Barry Kroeger who
makes his voice sound very cold and
demonic which is the many reasons why
this film is very eerie.
Julie Christie
has a brief breast shot when she crawls
out of bed and after she takes a shower
but by any means this is NOT a T&A
film.
A guys head is
chopped off. Otherwise not a goreflick.
Donald Cammel seens
to show excellent scenes with this one.
There's great action sequences when
Gerrit Graham's character is
battling the mechanical devices and the
direction is very well paced as you know
there's no escape for him or for Julie
Christie's role either.
The mechanical devices looked great too.
His direction with young actress Dana
Laurita is his best work when she
goes ballistic between Julie
Christie's role and proves she has
great emotion too.
The music composed by Jerry
Fielding is terrific with its
screechy sound effects and other creepy
tones.
Some of it almost sounds similar to the
original Texas Chainsaw Massacre
and Hills Have Eyes.
