THE ASPHYX

With Robert Stevens, Robert Powell, Jane Lapotaire, Fiona Walker, Alex Scott, Terry Scully, Ralph Arliss, John Lawrence, David Grey, Tony Caunter, Paul Bacon.
Directed by Peter Newbrook

An interesting film about a metaphysician who wants to capture the human soul on its departure from the human body at death. He captures the spirit-like specters (known to the Greeks as the Asphyx) on camera. But he wants to get hold of this essence in order to ensure immortality. When he experiments further by incorporating a motion picture camera he may have succeeded, but at a heavy price. A pleasant little early '70 chiller.
