Immaculate Director Addresses Complaints About VOD Release
The director of the horror movie “Immaculate,” Michael Mohan, has responded to a common complaint about the film following its recent Video on Demand (VOD) debut. Many fans have expressed frustration that certain scenes in the movie appear too dark, making it difficult to see what is happening at critical moments. Mohan shared his thoughts on social media, acknowledging the issue and expressing his disappointment with the situation.
Released earlier this year to positive reviews and box office success, “Immaculate” has faced criticism over its VOD release. Mohan explained that the darkness of the film was not intentional and was a result of the compression specifications of each streaming platform. He noted that different platforms may present varying levels of brightness, with iTunes being the closest to the filmmakers’ original vision.
The challenge of low-light scenes being poorly displayed on streaming platforms is not unique to “Immaculate.” Other movies and TV shows, such as “The Batman” and “Game of Thrones,” have also been subject to criticism for similar issues. The degradation of dark scenes underscores the struggle of filmmakers to ensure their work is viewed as intended by audiences.
While viewers can adjust their screen settings to mitigate the problem, the discrepancies in clarity between different platforms hosting “Immaculate” highlight the limitations imposed by streaming services. Despite these challenges, the movie is currently available on various VOD services for audiences to enjoy.
