      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Attention contact lense wearers: DO NOT watch this movie! Anguish, the really, really strange (and really cool!) horror film from Spanish director Jos

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a dated picture that is quite solid throughout. Images are sharp, but fine detail and definition are wanting. Colors are generally balanced, with hues that are sometimes vibrant and other times somewhat washed out. Blacks are deep, but visual information is wanting in the darkest scenes. Minor artifacts are apparent, but there are generally no major distractions. Overall, the picture's imagery is disgusting, but generally pleasing.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #27 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The New EQ section provides the latest news. I like the unbiased reviews that help me buy or not buy a particular product. Your magazine also informs us on what ‘s new in products and technology. Sometimes I delay my buying to get absolutely the latest and the best.
