"His first "hit" film was Hexen bis aufs Blut gequält (1970) (Mark of the Devil). The film was rated "V" for violence and ticket buyers were offered vomit bags before the film started. It was banned in 31 countries but spawned two sequels."

I agree with your disclaimer - this really feels like it could go somewhere.
Pro: I'm a big sucker for the closed HH on the down beat and the open HH on the up beat. I like the effect it creates -- you want to lean forward as you listen to it. This lends itself well to way you constructed this song with a sort of formulaic layering approach.
Con: I'm not sure I love the sound you've chosen for the melody/asian scale passage -- at least not at the beginning. That said, I do like the modulation you put on that sound as it shifts into the B section.
What's missing? When I first listened to this piece I half-expected the sound of Tibetan deep throat chanting to kick. Of course, something like that could have disasterous results... but maybe some sort of vocal layer could fit here -- though I don't necesarily think it needs traditional verse-chorus-verse vocal part.
