      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    When a group of kids spend the night in an old haunted house, the evening quickly turns into Hell Night when a monster from the past decides to pay them a visit. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    With an expectedly dark appearance, considering the genre, the anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture offers decent contrast and shadow delineation. Colors are a bit murky, with poor delineation. The source element is revealing of some artifacts and film grain. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #16 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read to try and find the best quality movies for sound and video. Too many movies these days have horrible sound and with today’s home theatres seem unacceptable. Also, equipment reviews are helpful.
