IMDb
(Blu-ray, Redemption)
A couple of inept scientists in Victorian England discover "the asphyx", a creature that appears at the moment of death. They manage to trap the thing using a spotlight with "crystals", and since every person, and guinea pig, has a unique asphyx, once it is trapped they become immortal. Realizing this, they decide to immortalize themselves and one of their girlfriends. However, to summon the asphyx they must really come close to dying, which leads to a series of accidents, real deaths and suicides. A tacked on ending (and beginning) of a very old man holding a guinea pig doesn't add much to the story.
