      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    After separating from her husband, Dahlia (Connelly) and her daughter Ceci (Gade) move into a run-down apartment. Although Dahlia struggles with debilitating migraines and nightmares from her childhood, she struggles to make ends meet and provide a good life for her daughter. But when Dark Water begins seeping from the apartment above theirs, Dahlia soon learns that her troubles cannot be fixed by calling a plumber. Based upon Koji Suzuki's novel "Honogurai Mizuno Soko Kara" and the Hideo Nakata film "Dark Water." (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #4 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review to get the facts on equipment and industry news. I started reading your magazine as a consumer and found your level of education and technical detail refreshing when compared to the audio/video mass I read before.Now I run my own custom home theatre company and find your mag invaluable in keeping up with the direction this industry is going. I also give a subscription as a gift to each of my customers knowing that they will be further educated and will enjoy their equipment even more.
