    In "Man Finds Tape," after finding mysterious video clips, siblings investigate the strange recordings and uncover a disturbing secret spreading through their Texas town. (Gary Reber)

    Special features include upfront previews.

    The 1.85:1 1080p picture, reviewed on a VIZIO Quantum X P85QX-JI UHD/HDR display, was photographed digitally and sourced from a 2K Digital Intermediate. This is a low-budget movie with various aspect ratios that jump between 1.78:1 and 2.39:1, and even 1.33:1.Video quality is generally poor to mediocre except for the 2.39:1 footage and some 1.78:1 segments. The color fidelity at best exhibits naturalness. Throughout there are black-and-white segments. Contrast is mediocre..Black levels between segments are weak and gray. Shadow delineation is also mediocre, Resolution, at times, is decent but generally soft. This is not a memorable or really good home theatre experience. (Gary Reber)

    The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1-channel soundtrack is dialogue focused and supported with a strange-sounding synthesizer score that fills the soundstage with extension to the surrounds. At times the soundtrack collapses to single-channel monaural. When the music is active there is a strong, deep bass presences, especially activated in the .1 LFE channel. Dialogue is intelligible with decent spatial integration. Compared to the video quality, the soundtrack is the better experience. (Gary Reber)

    Reason #93 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The technical levels of the articles are far beyond most other non-industry publications on home theatre. While I read many of them, WSR is very unique in its coverage, reviews, articles, and the added content of the Web edition. For all of those reasons, WSR is a must-subscribe for any HT enthusiast, and that is why I read it!
