Summary: original science fiction film
Review: Erich Von Stroheim plays the father of Hildegarde Neff, who he has hidden away in his house for several years. He isn't really her father though. He created her through artifical insemination. He specifically used a vicious criminal and a prostitute for this to make it more interesting. Since she's beautiful every man that meets Hildegarde falls in love with her. But there's a destructive streak in her since everyone of them soon dies. The actor who later was in Peeping Tom plays the man she's able to get human feelings for. Only Erich has some unhealthy feelings for her. This was made in 1952, but feels more like something made in the 40's. Warning this is dubbed. 3.5, rounded to 4
