Obsessed, a blind sculptor (Eiji Funakoshi) locks his beautiful young model (Mako Midori) in a gigantic warehouse. After an initial period of cat-and-mouse, the pair embark on a sexual marathon both torrid and horrid, using teeth and nails to dole out shivery-shuddery S&M pleasure.

Then they break out the knives and drink each other’s blood. Think In The Realm Of The Senses with a genre bent.

Argh! What’s left but to start hacking off limbs?

Remake rights: Dead Ringers, Crash… Blind Beast? Cronenberg has made a career of this kind of material. Who knows, maybe this is how his Basic Instinct 2 would have turned out...
