The Terminal Man (1974)


Warner Bros.
Directed by Mike Hodges
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

An early Michael Crichton story about man and machines. George Segal has a computer chip implanted in his brain to control seizures, but of course everything goes wrong and he becomes a walking killing machine. The symbolism is a bit overdone, but there are some great scenes, such as the waterbed, and the film has that overall "70s feel" that cannot be duplicated.
