Neither the Sea Nor the Sand

aka The Exorcism of Hugh

Poster of Neither the Sea Nor the Sand

Neither the Sea Nor the Sand (1972) follows a recently divorced woman who retreats to Jersey and falls in love with a quiet lighthouse‑keeper, only for him to suddenly die on a Scottish beach. When he inexplicably returns, she must confront the dark reality that his resurrection is not quite what she imagined. This folk-horror romance blends ghostly melancholy and slow-burning dread in a haunting study of love, loss, and the price of bringing someone back from the dead.
