The Shout. 1978.
At a psychiatric unit, during a cricket game the new score keeper is told a story about a man who uses Aboriginal magic to gain into the life of a musician and his wife in Devon.
I came across this one years ago and have never really paid much attention to it and decided to give it a re-watch, this is a bit of a slow burner yet it is played out well with the acting of Alan Bates, John Hurt and Susannah York as the main leads to the story. It is weird, bizarre yet haunting as Alan Bates slowly shows his true colors as what he wants and John Hurt will do anything to protect his wife. There is some pieces that can add confusion to the plot but then it's easily forgotten about five minutes later, this defiantly requires a open mind and no distractions to watch.
