Based on a 1973 Dean Koontz novel of the same name, this sci-fi/horror hybrid pits a child psychologist (Julie Christie) against the mind of a super intelligent machine. For a film that takes place mostly in one place, it keeps the attention well and raises the terror to awkward levels.
One of the film’s strengths is that it gives the viewer concepts and ideas that require more thought to fully appreciate. Ironically, the more you engage that part of your brain and begin to think about what you’re seeing onscreen, the more the sheer absurdity of the events within start to rise to the surface. Be aware before going in that it gets very silly and you'll enjoy it a lot more.
