PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Nicole Walker (REESE WITHERSPOON) always dreamed of being swept away by someone special – someone strong, sexy and sensitive who would care for her more than anything else in the world. David (MARK WAHLBERG) is all that and more: a modern-day knight who charms and seduces her, body and soul. But her perfect boyfriend is not all he seems to be. His sweet facade masks a savage, dark side that will soon transform Nicole’s dream into a nightmare.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Fear<\/em><\/strong> comes to Blu-ray presented in its original 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer. As this had already been released on the format a few years back by Universal, I can only assume it\u2019s the same transfer, and as such it looks okay if not nothing spectacular, albeit probably a step up from the DVD release. The detail here was okay though the grain\/noise looked more splotchy than anything to enhance the high-definition aspects.<\/p>\n

The included DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track provides for crisp and clear dialogue and some decent enough depth. It\u2019s not exactly phenomenal or anything but perfectly serviceable.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Check out some more 1080p screen caps by going to page 2. Please note, these do contain spoilers<\/strong>.
\nThese are only here to give an idea of the movie\u2019s video quality and may not be truly representative of it.<\/p>\n
