I watched The Asphyx a few nights ago. I was pleasantly surprised with this one. Basically, an English gentleman who dabbles in photography develops a method of photographing a spirit of death that visits the victim as they are about to die. His further experiments allow him to trap this spirit, thereby making the potential victim immortal. He has success trapping his own Asphyx, but when he tries to immortalise family members, things start to go wrong...
8.5/10 for this interesting British horror from the early 70's.
