    Story Synopsis:
    The sequel to the blockbuster hit Scream, Wes Craven

    DVD Picture:
    The new anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits sharp and detailed images, with greater depth and definition than rendered on the previously released, non-anamorpic version. Colors exhibit subtle refinements when compared to the previous version, with accurate fleshtones, and deep blacks. Fine details are nicely rendered throughout. There is no distracting pixelization, though a few source element artifacts are apparent.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #92 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is the only home theatre magazine that puts the reader first. All magazines must cater to advertisers to stay in business, but at WSR you never feel that this article or this review was generated because advertising needed a little boost right now. WSR also provides the depth that I like in its reporting and analysis. I still have every copy that I purchased and that's testament to my feeling of the statue of coverage of equipment and movies for the home movie enthusiast. The series on building the Holosonic Home Theatre was very thorough, and I’m currently using it as I build a new home with a theatre room that will closely resemble the one at your editorial facilities. Some of us do truly appreciate your dedication to doing it right. Thanks for producing an excellent magazine.
