    In 6 Souls, evil has many faces. After the death of her husband, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Cara Harding's (Moore) faith in God has been shaken, but not her belief in science. In an attempt to open her up to accepting unexplainable psychiatric theories, her father introduces her to Adam (Meyers), a patient with multiple personalities, who takes on some of the physical characteristics of his other personalities. Cara quickly discovers that Adam's personalities are murder victims, and the more she finds out about him and his past, the closer she and her loved ones are to becoming murder victims themselves. (Gary Reber)

    Special features include upfront previews.

    The 2.34:1 1080p AVC picture quality is terrific, with wonderful cinematography. The color palette is perfectly natural, with warm and rich hues that never appear exaggerated. Fleshtones are naturally rendered as well. Contrast is well balanced with deep blacks and revealing shadow delineation. Resolution is revealing of fine detail during close-ups of facial features, hair, clothing, and object texture. This is a visually terrifying visual experience that steadily builds and projects an engaging presence. (Gary Reber)

    The DTS-HD Master Audio™ 5.1-channel soundtrack is dynamic and well recorded, with a stirring orchestral music score that extends wide and deep across the soundstage and into the surrounds. Surround envelopment at times is aggressively intense. The instrument timbre is nicely distinguished. The eerieness is supported with deep, extended bass, which is punctuated by .1 LFE energy during the more intense segments. Fleshtones are intelligible but forward sounding. Atmospherics and sound effects are effectively dramatic. This is a nuanced and intense sonic experience that emotionally connects with the terrifying storytelling. (Gary Reber)

    Reason #91 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I need a magazine at dose and not a sugar coat approach to reviews. I need a magazine that is not bias or a sell-out. And Widescreen Review is my winner. I am a 23-year old audiophile that likes to stay in the know and up to date on what’s new and what’s hot. I can't do that with a magazine that says every single review is a good one, like other mags out there that will be left name-less. The Sound And Vision of a product is important, but don’t sell-out to make a buck, and those people out there are the ones who think that Gateway makes a good plasma. Keep up the good work. I love the mag.
