    Special Notes:
    Also available in a four-disc set for $99.98. Catalog Number 2000451.

    Story Synopsis:
    Damien: Omen II stars Lee Grant and William Holden as thirteen-year-old Damien

    DVD Picture:
    Though dated, the anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits pleasing quality throughout. Images are mostly soft, but some scenes are sharp, with nice detail and definition. Colors are nicely balanced and sometimes rich with full saturation. Fleshtones are nicely rendered, and blacks tend to be deep and undefined. Overall, the picture should surely please for its age. Minor artifacts are apparent, but distractions like edge enhancement and pixelization are minimal.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #15 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    This is THE magazine that presents all that I need to have to evaluate and buy equipment, know what’s up in the industry, and which provides a listing of DVD reviews and release schedules. In short, it is an almanac for reference, opinion, and knowledge. I must say that I have read just about every magazine that deals with home theatre that has been published. Widescreen is more professional, more comprehensive, and more up-to-date than the rest. I have read the rest, but I am staying with the best.
