Here's a few interesting comments from All Sci-Fi member Phantom.

The Asphyx (1972 England)

____________

I had no idea this movie existed until the late seventies, well after its theatrical run. It just fell under my radar.

It's extremely well crafted, the art decoration and photography is sumptuous and the acting superb.

This is another example of the failure of good intentions and a rash decision that leads to tragedy. The idea can be traced back to the string of low budget Columbia releases of the 1940's starring Karloff, Leo G. Carroll's benign scientist in Tarantula and the two versions of The Fly.

There are some real surprises here, particularly the unexpected result of Christine Cunningham's participation in her father's experiment. I certainly didn't see it coming.

The stunning final scene had me thinking about the similar fate of the creatures in John Carradine's basement in The Unearthly ("My God. What if they do live forever.") Only, here, it isn't so amusing.
