      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Wanting to provide a safe place for their kids to grow up, New Yorkers Cooper and Leah Tilson (Quaid and Stone) move upstate to the lovely Cold Creek Manor in the country. The manor is in need of some TLC since it had been repossessed, but before long the Tilsons have it fixed up and are settling in. Enter Dale Massie (Dorff), who has just been released from prison and wants his house back. Cooper and Leah Tilson soon learn that the Massie family and the manor have an awful past, and a fight for the home will turn deadly with Dale around. (Suzanne Hodges)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture is sharp and detailed, with nicely balanced contrast and shadow delineation. Even in the darker scenes, just enough visual information is apparent to aid in heightening the suspense. Colors are nicely balanced with satisfying fleshtones and deep blacks. It is unfortunate that edge enhancement can be bothersome, but pixel breakup is minor. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #43 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I've subscribed to Widescreen Review for a number of years now. Unlike any other magazine in the field, WSR offers an incredible range of excellent equipment reviews, software reviews, and articles on upcoming technologies. It never ceases to amaze me on the inside information that Gary and his gang are able to get. A perfect example of this is the excellent speakers provided on the Home Theatre Cruise! How do you do it, Gary? I use WSR to keep up on which technologies are dueling it out for high-definition supremacy and to help me prepare for my future dream home theatre. Having such insider information is proving invaluable. No other magazine I know of helps to shape the industry it serves in such a positive way. Long live WSR!
