WOW!!, 24 July 1999

Author: Spuzzlightyear from Vancouver

One time I said to myself "Okay, I'm going to rent nothing but horror movies, since I havent seen enough of them lately, and I am going from A to Z". Which is how I can across the Asphyx. Folks, let me tell you, this is one GREAT weird little thriller, not much blood, but a whole lot of creepiness, a great story, and very british. What more do you want?
