Seeking a respite from her deteriorating marriage, Anna is vacationing on the English Channel Island of Jersey when, whilst walking along the shoreline one wintry afternoon, she encounters a mysterious and brooding younger man, Hugh. The pair quickly form an intense bond and embark upon a passionate and all-consuming love affair, but their romance is cut short when Hugh suddenly and unexpectedly drops dead whilst on a getaway to Scotland, leaving Anna utterly devastated. However, that very night, a shadowy figure appears at the door of their holiday cottage – Hugh has miraculously returned to the land of the living, or so it at first seems…
Adapted for the screen by Gordon Honeycombe from his own 1969 novel (which itself takes its cue from the classic horror short story “The Monkey’s Paw”), Fred Burnley’s NEITHER THE SEA NOR THE SAND is a haunting slice of British Gothic boasting standout performances from three-time Emmy Award-winner Susan Hampshire (Malpertuis) and Frank Finlay (Lifeforce), alongside a memorably chilling turn from then-newcomer Michael Petrovitch (Turkey Shoot). Released in the US under the alternate title of The Exorcism of Hugh, NEITHER THE SEA NOR THE SAND is brought back to startling life by Vinegar Syndrome for its world Blu-ray debut, newly restored in 2K from 35mm vault elements and supplemented by an array of brand new bonus features.
Neither the Sea Nor the Sand is available now on Blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome Labs!
