This is a bizarre little horror film set at about 1875. A goofy nobleman, Sir Hug Cunningham, has an odd hobby--he and his psychical friends like to photograph people as they are dying! They think that they can photograph souls or the like. However, when he later uses a completely anachronistic* movie camera and a special blue light, he discovers that some creature he labels 'the asphyx' is released by the body upon death. His goal is to study and even capture one of these creatures, as he hopes that by capturing it he can achieve immortality! The problem is that he's a real screw up and one by one his work results in the deaths of his loved ones. What's next for this wacko? See the film.
This is not a horrible film but it isn't all that great either. At times, the acting is pretty bad and the film was filled with unintentional laughs.
