      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    On his way to burning down the house of the man who stole his wife, Charlie (Mackenzie) meets Vincente (Phillips) and agrees to give him a ride. They run out of gas in the middle of nowhere but come across Moor Lodge, a resort in The Last Great Wilderness where they go for help. But instead of help, what they find is a bunch of oddballs, and their trip turns into something weirder than they ever could have imagined. (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture exhibits video-originated images that are generally sharp but lacking in finer details. The color scheme is milky and often very flat looking, with weak blacks. Smearing and shimmering artifacts are noticed, as is a distinct ringing around objects. Considering the source material, the picture quality is acceptable, but nothing to brag about. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #67 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is by far the most in-depth and comprehensive publication in its genre. Readers of all levels of expertise can increase their knowledge and enhance their enjoyment of the Home Theatre experience. Widescreen Review is one of the few, if not the only publication, that actually affects manufacturer’s decisions in regards to their product lines. I believe one of the reasons DTS decoding is so common in consumer equipment is due to the efforts of Gary Reber and his associates. Additionally, the magazine has heralded the importance of a properly calibrated video monitor. Consumers who are so inclined now have the information needed in order for their equipment, from entry level to state-of-the-art, to be the best that it can be. Add to this the software reviews, articles on emerging technologies, and meticulous equipment reviews, and you have a magazine that sets the standard for others to emulate. This is why I read Widescreen Review.
