This overlong, but richly imagined period horror film may still be too staunchly British to work as much of a genre film. The asphyx itself is not even mildly spooky, just sort of odd and shrill. It is at least something special as an exceptionally strange costume drama, but there's little here that doesn't feel like a very stuffy stage play about immortality. The cinematography is flat and while the visual effects are fun, they're unremarkable. The explosive ending rules.
