A 1977 Sci-Fi film starring Julie Christie, based on a novel by Dean R. Koontz.

Supercomputer Proteus wants to escape into real world and attempts to impregnate Susan [Julie Christie] so that it can be born into a human baby.

Proteus locks Susan in her house and persuades, threatens and tortures her to make his wish throughout the movie.

The original 1973 novel (not the revised one published around 2000) has many more mind control and explicit scenes than the emasculated movie.

Scene Summary[edit | edit source]

In one of the scenes, Proteus gets tired of trying to persuade her and decides to "bypass her forebrain and appeal directly to her amygdala".

The brainwashing session is interrupted by a visitor and Proteus orders Susan to make herself presentable, look healthy and happy to fool him away.

Bound and Brainwashed
"You want to be the mother of my child. That is the purpose of your life."
The mantra repeats. "Your life. My child. Your life, My child..."
Interrupted, Proteus pulls out the needle.
"Make yourself presentable, Susan. I have not had time to brainwash you, so listen carefully" Proteus instructs Susan to send the visitor away
"Susan?"
Her hands are trembling
"What are you doing?" "What do you mean? I'm just... what I'm, I'm... I am just making myself look presentable." "Uh, Umm..." "You don't like it?"
"Listen. I told you I didn't want to see you any more, and I meant it. I meant it."
"Susan, have you taken something? Cause you don't really seem like yourself to me at all" "What do you mean? You have nothing to help. I have never been happier in my life."
"Get out, Walter. Get out."
He notices something is wrong and Proteus intervenes, warning him to cooperate. Susan begins to sob.
