      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    "Incident At Loch Ness" is a clever mockumentary filmed during an expedition in Scotland, which focused on the famed Loch Ness monster. While overseas shooting the documentary "The Enigma of Loch Ness," a project that director Werner Herzog took seriously, he began to suspect that all was not as it seemed. Mr. Herzog confronted fellow filmmaker Zak Penn on his suspicions about the seriousness of the film but still agreed to continue with the project in spite of his reservations. (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:
    Consistent with the stereotypical look of documentaries, this mockumentary features variable image quality. The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits satisfying sharpness, well-balanced colors, and generally deep blacks. Soft focus, smearing, grain, and artifacts are all noticed from time-to-time, depending on the intended source of different segments. Overall, the picture is perfectly suitable for the subject matter. There are minor compression problems and occasional edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:

    Reason #29 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I originally subscribed to your magazine because I am a home theatre junkie, and it gave me one more way to feed my addiction. However, I find the one thing that I really enjoy is full access to your subscriber Web Site. I'm on it every day looking up a DVD review or reading an up-to-the minute article on what's going on in the world of home theatre. It's first on my favorites list.
