    Starring the cleavage-based talents of Jennifer Love Hewitt, this movie is essentially a vehicle allowing said actress as well as Brandy to wear the skimpiest clothes possible. From this angle, the movie does not disappoint. The producer Neal H. Moritz claims he wanted this movie to be scarier than the original; in my mind he failed by a long shot. However, the production is slick and tight, the sound is glorious and the image is close to perfection, and I am sure many will enjoy it; men maybe more than women though - sexist remark as it may be, but Jennifer Love Hewitt didn't land this role for nothin'!

Video

    The transfer is presented in an aspect ratio of 2.35:1, and it is 16x9 enhanced.

    This is a very sharp and clear transfer, and amongst the best I have seen from Columbia. Shadow detail for a movie of this nature must be handled with a great deal of care - much of the suspense is generated by darkness and an inability to clearly see the villain. Given these considerations, low-level detail was perfect and very satisfying. There was no low-level noise whatsoever in this picture.

    The picture is only marred by a slight imbalance in the colour temperature. I felt that the picture was too "warm", with too much of a red component. This imbalance is not present in the trailers, which have a much more natural appearance, and so it is a shame that the movie is affected by this. I found this to be somewhat distracting at times, especially in bright outdoor scenes, but others may not be as picky as me! Thankfully, much of the movie takes place in low-light conditions, and this effect is not as evident during those times.

    There were no significant MPEG artefacts. Film-to-video artefacts consisted of one occurrence of aliasing caused by a striped shirt, but apart from that were not evident. There were no film artefacts to speak of.

    The packaging incorrectly states that there are only three subtitles - English, French and Arabic. There are of course substantially more than this! (see above).

Audio

    There are two soundtracks on this disc - English Dolby Digital 5.1 and German Dolby Digital 5.1. The packaging incorrectly states a French soundtrack, which in fact is German. I listened to the default English Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack.

    Dialogue was at all times clear and easy to understand.

    There were no problems with audio sync during the movie.

    The thrill-a-minute score by John Frizzell is perfectly suited to the onscreen action. We get the now-staple loud stabs of sound (pun intended) to increase the shock value when needed, which I must admit are very effective. The soundstage is very wide and detailed, and the recording is of superb quality. The large dynamic range on this disc necessitated turning up the volume quite a bit from my normal listening level - this had the (desired) effect of creating very loud scary noises at times. Soundproofing your home would not be a bad idea for this one!

    Surround presence is wonderfully aggressive throughout the movie, and is used to superb effect. This is a really fun Dolby Digital 5.1 mix, and makes full use of the medium for maximum effect. I particularly liked the deep, ominous signature sounds of the "slicker" coming from the rears - nice!

    The subwoofer was used extensively by this mix to increase the thrills, and was superbly integrated. Both music and sound effects were treated to a nice helping of bottom-end, rounding the frequency range of this disc off quite nicely.

Featurette - Behind The Scenes (5:40)

    Presented in an aspect ratio of 1.33:1 and in Dolby Digital 2.0, this is basically the trailer with a few token shots behind the camera coupled with some standard interview-type comments from the actors.

Teaser Trailer (2:01)

U.S. Theatrical Trailer (2:00)

   Presented in an aspect ratio of 1.33:1 and in Dolby Digital 5.1

Music Video - Jennifer Love Hewitt "How Do I Deal" (3:30)

   Another excuse to see Jennifer pose and flirt around whilst singing a not-too-bad pop song, which she of course does quite well!

Dolby Digital Trailer - City

    I mention this because it has been erroneously encoded in Dolby Digital 2.0, which I don't mind telling you gave me a scare the first time I played it! How did this get past QC?

    The video quality is excellent.

    The audio is superb and is of reference quality.
