The Shout (1978)

 

A traveler by the name of Crossley forces himself upon a musician and his wife in a lonely part of Devon, and uses the aboriginal magic he has learned to displace his host. 

Well-made semi-horror tale seems more surreal than actually frightening, but is intriguing enough to hold your attention.

Halliwell*: "Curiously gripping but ultimately pointless fable, very well done to little purpose."

Maltin**1/2: "Well-filmed but obscure yarn...Worth a look on a slow evening."
