      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    A little bit of

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a picture that is eerily sharp and detailed, with nicely rendered textures and definition. Colors are quite rich and solid, with sickly greens, bloody reds, and endless blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation allow for plenty of scares in the dim scenes. Peppered with grainy black-and-white scenes that resemble archival stock footage and vintage television horror shows, the picture is otherwise quite clean with only a few scratches or flecks of dirt in the source element. A discriminating eye might notice a slight bit of edge enhancement in the brighter scenes, and pixelization is also minimal. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #108 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I have been reading WSR for about two years now and especially enjoy the product review section. Although the other articles and review sections are generally well-written and informative, the product reviews give me an unbiased look at new technologies and products. Being in the home theatre design field, I look at many different sources for product ups and downs and find your magazine a very valuable resource in this area. Keep up the great work!!
