Neither the Sea Nor the Sand (1972)



Tigon (UK)
Directed by Fred Burnley
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Redemption)

Vacationing Susan Hampshire falls in love with lighthouse keeper Frank Finlay. Their storybook romance causes her to decide to stay with him instead of returning to her husband. After a few weeks of giddiness, he unexpectedly dies on a rocky, windswept beach. However, he shows up the next day at their love nest, albeit in not quite the some condition. He has taken on a zombie-like demeanor, complete with rotting flesh, which she intially tries but cannot ignore. More doomed romance than horror, with a good performance by Hampshire and location photography on Jersey in the Channel Islands.
