    In "The Possession Of Hannah Grace," a shocking exorcism spirals out of control, claiming the life of a young woman. Months later, Megan Reed (Mitchell) is working the graveyard shift in the morgue when she takes delivery of a disfigured cadaver. Locked alone inside the basement corridors, Megan begins to experience horrifying visions and starts to suspect that the body may be possessed by a ruthless demonic force. (Gary Reber)

    Special features include the featurettes "The Killer Cast" (HD 06:31) and "An Autopsy Of Hannah" (HD 06:36), a deleted scene (HD 0:0044), Megan's Video Diary Night One (HD 0:00:50), and Megan's Video Diary Night Two (HD 0:00:44).

    The 2.39:1 1080p AVC picture, reviewed on a Sony Bravia Z9D 4K Ultra HD HDR display, upconverted to 2160p with greater resolution and luminance, was photographed digitally in anamorphic Hawk Scope using the Sony A7S II camera system and sourced from a 2K master Digital Intermediate format. The picture exhibits naturalness throughout, with an overall soft focus. While close-ups reveal detail in body features, face, hair and beard features, backgrounds are out of focus, which creates more of a cinematic look. Color fidelity is excellent with warm hues, and the scenes in the morgue and its basement corridors have stainless steel and concrete walls. Fleshtones are perfectly natural. Black levels and shadows are descriptive, and lights and lighting are natural throughout. This is a good-looking movie that will definitely please fans of the genre. (Gary Reber)

    The DTS-HD Master Audio™ 5.1-channel soundtrack is excellent, with an aggressive surround extension and a wide soundstage. Dynamics are good, with a strong, deep bass emphasis and presence. At times low fequencies extend to sub-25 Hz. Foley sound effects are good and realistic. Atmospherics enhance the terror. Sound effects are often intense and sharp, as well as directionalized. The music score delivers added bass and projects a wide soundstage aggressive surround. Dialogue is consistently intelligible with generally good spatial integration. This is a well-crafted soundtrack with moments of intensity. (Gary Reber)

    Reason #34 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I was always told to seek the superlative, and where home entertainment is concerned, WSR makes sure that my reach always exceeds my grasp. Fortunately, in this case, it's a good thing. I can count on WSR to always go beyond what every other magazine in the industry can provide. It has inspired me to explore the concepts, both technical and subjective, to the extent that I even feel smarter about home entertainment technology. Hardware and software are both dealt with in an informative and engaging way, so the value of the magazine surpasses its modest price. WSR has been a great inspiration for my wishes and dreams. I wish I could afford the ultra wares I see covered in the magazine. Nevertheless, I am wiser because I have gained a sense of judgment through reading WSR. (I must admit to having a bit of common sense, though, since I have been using Monster Cable products for over 10 years!) I hope WSR will continue to ignite the interest in its audience as it has up to now.
