Theodore Sturgeon story???

Some of Your Blood is a murder mystery about a protagonist addicted to slurping menstrual blood -directly from the woman. Even in these days of morbid horror films and increasingly clinical TV series of the CSI persuasion, having the protagonist and central theme of a movie based on this subject would not play. Sturgeon's leaving it to one's imagination is why the novel is fascinating and compelling.

In Colin Wilson's case, I thought he went one step further in having LINGARD a burglar and thrill killer as protagonist. In Colin's book, the story is strictly first person and you are made not merely to sympathize with the awful and repugnant (in a normal sense) "hero" but virtually encouraged to get off on his antics. The same approach was taken by Sturgeon, where we are not supposed to be repelled by the kinky "hero"'s fetish, but once the novelty wears off to be theoretically turned on.

I've seen several porno films that take this sort of tack, you know, identifying and rooting for the rapist is a common example, but they are strictly porn, usually XXX, and often just aimed at fetishists, the way the thousands of bondage videos that are cranked out every year are. I meant as a real film, for real theatrical audiences, not mere pornography, both Sturgeon and Wilson have created unique novels that would be inappropriate to turn into concrete visuals. It could be done badly or stupidly, but who needs another bad or stupid movie, when hundreds of big-budget one falling into those categories are routinely released every year?
