Der Todesschrei (1978)
Während eines sommerlichen Cricket-Spieles zwischen Ärzten, Pflegepersonal und Insassen einer psychiatrischen Anstalt erzählt ein charismatischer aber offensichtlich ebenfalls geistesgestörter Mann einem Besucher der Anstalt die vermeintliche Geschichte eines der Mitspieler: In einem verschlafenen, an der Küste Englands gelegenen Ort lebt ein Musiker zusammen mit seiner Frau. Die trügerische Idylle wird durch das Auftauchen eines geheimnisvollen und aufdringlichen Fremden gestört, dem es gelingt sich bei dem Ehepaar einzunisten. Er gibt vor als weitgereister Mann viele Jahre bei Aborigenes gelebt und dort einen Schrei erlernt zu haben, mit dem es ihm möglich ist, Menschen zu töten. Beide Ehepartner sind gleichzeitig abgestoßen und fasziniert von dem Fremden und so bittet ihn der Musiker schließlich um eine Kostprobe seiner Kunst...
