  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
The second of the successful

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD appears to be the same transfer as the previously released DVD (Issue 41), with the exception of the new scenes, and exhibits a dark picture that should be viewed in a completely blackened room. Colors are rich, though dark throughout, and generally balanced with deep, pure blacks. Images are quite sharp throughout, though the picture can appear pasty and undefined. Pixelization is often noticed, as are source element artifacts and film grain, but edge enhancement is not terribly distracting. (Suzanne Hodges)
