      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Cult director Dario Argento's Suspiria is a stylish horror tale that follows American Suzy Banyon (Harper) and her dreams to perfect her ballet at the most famous dance studio in Europe. The German dance academy of Suzy

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphIcally enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture exhibits slightly dated images that appear sharp and generally detailed. Colors are nicely balanced and occasionally rich, with accurate fleshtones, and deep blacks. Contrast seems a bit low at times, and visual information is limited in the darker scenes. Edge enhancement is occasionally apparent. There are few artifacts and little film grain for a picture that is quite solid. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    There are remastered Dolby

    Reason #60 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I feel the picture/sound reviews are very accurate. The reference systems are awesome. The WSR staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The on-line version of the magazine is a great reference tool. It is the most technically advanced home theatre magazine out there. If you consider yourself a serious home theatre buff, you should subscribe! It doesn't get anymore cutting edge than your Reference Holosonic Home Theatre Laboratory. Gary Reber has the coolest job on the planet!
