      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    On a dark, er, bright night in a cemetery, two angry men, including Tommy Jarvis (Mathews) come to exact revenge on Jason

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits images that are slightly soft, but detail is generally satisfying. Colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones and deep endless blacks. Contrast and shadow delineation are generally pleasing. Edge enhancement can be bothersome, but the picture is otherwise solid, with little pixelization Source element artifacts are occasionally revealed. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby Digital 2.0 matrix surround soundtrack is quite engaging and also palpably spacious at times. Fidelity, however is noticeably dated. The predominant multichannel element is the music, gently to moderately filling the surrounds, and with some effective distribution of sound effects around the listener. The dated fidelity limits the natural tonality of voices. There is also a noticeable muffling in the upper-midrange. Overall, this soundtrack certainly shows signs of its age, but also serves its storytelling purpose quite effectively. (Perry Sun)

    Reason #56 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I am most interested in the formats (audio) of DVDs. I buy a DVD, and then it is re-introduced in a deluxe package some time later. I am not that interested in the extras, but the DVD is invariably upgraded in sound. This is usually DTS ES surround but in some cases DTS ES 6.1 (discrete). Most reviews (Home Theater, Stereophile Guide To Home Theater, Sound And Vision) do not address this situation. I am subscribing to Widescreen Review, hopefully, to solve this problem. I am looking forward to my first issue and a long relationship with your magazine.
