      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Three hundred years ago genetic experimentation created superior beings that are neither human or monster. These beings co-existed with humankind protecting them from disease while using them for sustenance. The delicate balance between man and vampire is threatend when a renagade vampire unleashes an infuenza epidemic, which sweeps through the human population. (Stacey Pendry)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.31:1 DVD shows good resolution and nicely balanced contrast, but black levels are slightly milky and shadow delineation is unimpressive. The result is an image that can look undefined and lifeless, which is a shame considering how much detail there can be in the picture. Still, there are scenes that look overly soft. While the color palette is constrained, it matches the storytelling well. The picture has real promise

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #45 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read WSR because I enjoy configuring my home entertainment system myself. I don't have enough disposable income to buy all new components and hire an installer to set it all up. So, I have relied on WSR to guide me in almost all aspects of the (continual) upgrade process. I have always stayed glued to the reviews so that I can choose where my dollar is going to affect the greatest impact in my system. When you have a tight budget to work with, even the smallest purchase decisions make a difference.
