The Asphyx (1973) by Peter Newbrook – (5/10)

The Asphyx is a pretty good, unfortunately forgotten thinking mans (that is why it became forgotten) horror movie from what was probably the golden age of horror movies, the 70’s. I cannot really go into the details of the plot without spoiling the whole thing but it involves the quests for immortality that carries grave dangers and you guessed it, a very high price to pay. It doesn’t have any blood or guts, not withstanding some flaws, it is well thought out and interesting to follow. It is highly recommended for someone who either is interested in a good horror movie that doesn’t rely on gore or any fan of the genre. It is move Lovecraft than slasher.
