"The Asphyx" (1973) (Peter Newbrook)
1973 / 99mins. / Original Aspect Ratio (2.35:1 Widescreen) / English Language/ Color / UK
Picture Quality: A+
Great Little Movie!
This is one of those rare small movies which has a great plot, decent special effects (for the time), and good acting. For the horror/sci-fi fan who does not require gore and shock value to enjoy a movie, this is a real treat. There are some minor flaws if you look closely, but they do not detract from the film as a whole. It is the atmosphere of the film which raises it above other works of the same era. I wish they could remake it with modern computer graphics and retain the same quaint eeriness, but I don't think modern audiences care much about atmosphere. Out of ten, I would give it a solid eight.
