      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Evil Dead II, the sequel to Evil Dead and the prequel to Army Of Darkness, is a gory, funny and over-the-top horror flick that is all-out fun for those with strong stomachs. Bruce Campbell reprises his role as Ash, with plans for a romantic weekend with his girlfriend. But, after accidentally playing an ancient incantation on a tape recorder, an evil force is awakened

    DVD Picture:
    Compared to the previously released DVD, this new anamorphically enhanced 1.82:1 DVD exhibits subtle improvements; more specifically: less noticeable film grain. Overall, the picture appears a bit cleaner. Images can look a bit soft, but sharpness and details are satisfying overall. Colors are dated, but generally well balanced. Black levels can appear slightly weak at times, but overall, depth is satisfying. Fans will, nonetheless, be delighted with everything about this DVD. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Reason #20 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I am very interested in new inventions and expanding technology in products today. Also, I like to be able to look at the products and dream about owning some of them someday. I am a poor college student, so even though I can't always afford new things, I like to look and know about what's new out there.
