Could this be the &#8220;The Asphyx&#8221; of ancient Greek myth? He and his son (Robert Powell) decide to try and investigate further with the aim of capturing one in the hope of potentially achieving immortality. It&#8217;s well put together, the story and script are solid and the lead performances with Jane Lapotaire as &#8220;Christina&#8221; are quite entertaining to watch.
