  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
If there ever was a movie done in bad taste

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced and windowboxed 1.66:1 DVD picture, shot in 16mm, has a gritty appearance, but images can be generally sharp. Some scenes are extremely soft and undefined. With a slightly dated quality, colors are generally well balanced. The shaky camerawork might make viewers with larger home theatre displays a little queasy. The source element is revealing of an expected amount of film grain and artifacts. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The remastered 5.1-channel soundtracks in DTS-ES
