    Story Synopsis:
    The made-for-TV sequel, Omen IV: The Awakening finds us meeting Delia (Vieira), an orphan lovingly adopted by Gene and Karen York (Grant and Woods). A beautiful baby, it becomes apparent to those around Delia that her beauty runs only skin deep...there is evil inside this child! Mrs. York, troubled by the strange deaths surrounding Delia, begins an investigation into her parentage. Could she be...Damien

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD preserves the same look of the original film from 15 years earlier, and if the result was to have this film look dated, the filmmakers succeeded. The image is quite soft throughout, but there are some scenes that are nicely detailed. Colors are quite dim, but well balanced with deep blacks. Artifacts and minor pixelization are apparent, but not overly distracting. Edge enhancement appears to be more prominent on this version.

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #98 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I have read this magazine from the very first issue; it’s simply the best and most informative and detailed magazine for home theatre. You can't live without it.
