 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Shout is a 1978 British horror film directed by Jerzy Skolimowski, based on a short story by Robert Graves that was adapted for the screen by Michael Austin. The film stars Alan Bates, Susannah York, John Hurt, Robert Stephens and Tim Curry, and features Jim Broadbent in his first feature role.Bored while officiating a cricket match at a psychiatric hospital in Devon, Crossley (Bates) tells visitor Robert Graves (Curry) the story of a mysterious stranger, also named Crossley, who invades the lives and house of local musician Anthony Fielding (Hurt) and his wife Rachel (York). The stranger claims knowledge of real magic, which he uses to displace the former and dominate the latter. Anthony must find a way to combat Crossley and his seemingly implacable powers. Graves, doubting Crossley's claim that his story is true, begins to suspect that Crossley is actually one of the patients.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Love Spell: Crossley tells Rachel how Aboriginal magic men can take a minor possession belonging to a woman and enchant it to cause her to fall in love with him. He later does this to her by stealing a buckle off one of her shoes.

 Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: There is no way of telling if the lightning strike that kills the chief medical officer at the end of the film is a result of Crossley's supposed magical powers, or merely a natural phenomenon that appears to magical because of the story Graves has been listening to.
