Neither the Sea Nor the Sand (also known as The Exorcism of Hugh) is a 1972 British horror film, based on the book of the same name, by Gordon Honeycombe.

On a holiday to Scotland, Anna begins to question the relationship, worried that it may just be an affair, for which Hugh reassures her that it is not the case and declares his love.

He accuses Anna of being a witch and that she conjured an evil spirit that possessed his brother's dead body, which somehow explains why he is apparently alive and burns Hugh's hand to try and prove his theory.

Horrified Magazine said, "Neither the Sea Nor the Sand has the texture of a folk tale – something that is evoked by a particularly memorable score, which is too rarely-discussed in coverage of the film, from Nachum Heiman.
