      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    World War II rages as the submarine U.S.S. Tiger Shark rescues three members of a doomed British ship. As the war-weary crew man the battle stations to evade a Nazi destroyer, things go awry when the rescued survivors turn out to be more than what they seem. Far "Below" the surface, the stress and battle fatigue are heightened when the crew encounters an eerie, supernatural threat to their lives. (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits images that are sharp and detailed, with nicely rendered textures, though at times appearing a bit digital or hard. Colors can be naturally balanced, though the picture often has a washed out appearance to help depict the film

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #26 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Before WSR, there was a 4:3 picture tube. After WSR, there is a nice 65 inch widescreen rear projection TV. However, it's only a beginning, because WSR started a dream. The reality looks crisper and clearer now, even the sound is more precise and enveloping. Widescreen Review: P5/S5, one's critic’s composite: 5. Thank you, WSR. Keep up the excellent work!
