Color presentation is top notch with only the contrast wavering at times. The audio creates an eerie atmosphere but more bass would be nice.

synopsis | Hapless home buyers George and Kathy Lutz discover their dream home is possessed by evil spirits in this terrifying remake of the 1979 horror classic, based on Jay Anson's popular book -- and a reportedly real-life haunting. As it turns out, the Lutzes home has a bloody history (a former occupant killed his entire family there just a year earlier), so it doesn't take long for terror to come knocking. |
