The Asphyx

“If It Were In Your Power…Would You Sacrifice Your Wife…Your Children For Immortality? This Is The Story Of A Man Who Did!”

At the turn of the century, Sir Hugo Cunningham (Robert Stephens) is a respected scientist, loved by his family and admired by his colleagues. He becomes fixated on a strange apparition that keeps appearing in the photographs he takes of dying subjects. Peter Newbrook follows Hugo as the question takes over his work, and a household of Cunninghams, Giles (Robert Powell) among them, watches him from across the dinner table.
