      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    "Hellraiser"...what the "Hell"? What in the "world" were they thinking? Pinhead (Bradley) is back for more blood and more gore in this lastest installment in the series. They just keep getting better. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced DVD picture exhibits satisfying imagery, with colors that are nicely saturated. Fleshtones appear well balanced, colors are often rich, and blacks are deep and solid. The picture is sharp and often very clean, with little in the way of bothersome pixelization. Some scenes have a soft focus that appear to be stylized, although occasionally, the picture can appear plugged up or smeared. Still, darken your room, sit back, and prepare for a few good scares presented with pleasing picture quality. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    From the onset, the Dolby

    Reason #76 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Our family has made a significant investment in a dedicated home theatre. Upon reading nearly every other home theatre publication, I have found that Widescreen Review has consistently provided us accurate reviews, and as such have built a substantial library of movies and equipment, which we consider “Keepers.” I find the equipment reviews, especially the Subwoofer Special Edition, to be right on the money and a must-have. The video equipment reviews (we are currently in the market for a front projector) are educationally based as well as comparatively based, so I learn about equipment in general while I can compare specifications. I thank you for a publication well worth the cover price issue after issue.
