      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    When Willy (Nicholas Love) and Lacey (Suzanna Love) were little, they were responsible for the murder of their mother's lover. Now, 20 years later, a note from their mom brings back painful memories from that fateful day. Lacey's husband Jake (James) convinces Lacey to face her demons and go visit the house where the crime occurred. When Lacey goes in her mother's bedroom, she sees the dead man in an old mirror and shatters it. Little does she know that she has let out the evil spirits of "The Boogeyman," and he's determened to get revenge on anyone who gets in his way. (Tricia Spears)

    Reason #132 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    As an owner of Whole House Audio & Video Inc. (WHAV), I need to stay informed on the latest DVD and DVHS releases and keep an objective opinion on how well they perform. Of all the magazines and periodicals we receive, I constantly find myself reading WIDESCREEN REVIEW over all the others combined. The articles are well-written, thought-out, and accurate. I also find the Editors Couch and the equipment reviews very useful and informative. Thanks for producing a quality magazine without all the BS you find in most other publications.
