      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    While driving home from a posh party thrown at a country estate, Alice (Anderson) and her partner Adam (Dyer) suffer a violent gang attack. The preditors become the prey when Alice and Adam discover their attackers

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits deep blacks and well-balanced colors. Resolution is good but not great, as some scenes look smeared and soft. Details are recognizable in the shadows, and when combined with the solid blacks, it can make for a dimensional-looking image. Contrast is balanced nicely and the picture looks fairly natural, but pixel breakup can be noticed fairly frequently, which is disappointing. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #19 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I’ve been reading WSR since Issue 1. I have never had any problem, any misunderstanding, or any doubt about their published articles or interviews. They are absolutely thrust full. The articles look like a Master Business Course. It is a fantastic well-written magazine with brilliant topics, thanks to the capacity of the editors and their teams. Years ago, I discussed this in Las Vegas with a George Lucas THX engineer, and at the end of two hours he agreed with me. My information was based on all the WSR issues I had read.
