Alraune (released in the U.S. in 1934 as "Daughter of Evil"), the 1930 Richard Oswald German science fiction (sci-fi) horror thriller (based on the novel by Hanns Heinz Ewers; about a scientist wanting to find out if a person's personality is genetic or environmental; he artificially inseminates a prostitute with the semen of a hanged man [which, in German mythology, was used to grow the "mandrake root", and in some myths it is the blood that is the source, and sometimes the root was given to a woman wanting to become pregnant, and supposedly eating it could make her pregnant, but the resulting child would grow into a soulless person], to see if the resulting child is doomed to grow up evil in spite of good upbringing; he raises the girl himself telling her he is her father, and she does in some ways become evil, and worse yet, her "father" is drawn to her, and when she rejects him, he goes insane) starring Brigitte Helm (best remembered for her starring role in Fritz Lang's "Metropolis"; in the title role as Alraune/Alma), Albert Basserman, Harald Paulsen, Adolf E. Licho, and Agnes Straub. Note that this was a sound remake of the 1928 film of the same name. That film also starred Brigitte Helm, but the rest of the cast was mostly different, and only a reconstructed version of that movie exists, but based on that, this movie was both more faithful to the book and also far more explicit in its scenes of the relationship between the creator and his creation (quite daring for its time).
