Ever sat down to watch a movie only to realize that you can barely see anything on the screen? Yeah, it’s frustrating. Especially when it’s not intentional. Take, for example, director Michael Mohan’s psychological horror film, Immaculate. According to Mohan himself, most streaming versions of the film are way too dark for their own good. And no, it’s not some artistic choice – it’s a technical glitch that’s causing viewers to squint at their screens in confusion.
Now, before you go blaming Mohan for trying to mess with your eyesight, let’s hear him out. A user named Sgtzima aired their grievances on social media, stating that Immaculate is “comically dark,” even in a dimly lit room. Mohan, being the stand-up guy he is, responded with an explanation: “We have no control over the compression specs of each platform. It’s a real problem that truly bums me out.”
So, what’s the deal with Immaculate, anyway? Well, scripted by Andrew Lobel, the film stars Sydney Sweeney as Cecilia, a woman of devout faith who finds herself in a not-so-peaceful situation at an Italian convent. Dark secrets and horrifying truths come to light as Cecilia navigates through her new surroundings. And let’s not forget the talented ensemble cast, including Simona Tabasco, Alvaro Morte, Benedetta Porcaroli, and Dora Romano.
Sweeney, who also co-produced the film, has a history of working with Mohan on projects like The Voyeurs and Everything Sucks!. Together, they’ve crafted a tale that’s meant to be seen in all its glory – not hidden in shadows. And while some platforms may have missed the memo on brightness levels, Mohan assures us that iTunes is the closest to the intended viewing experience.
But here’s the thing – movie theaters setting their projector lights too low is one thing. Streaming services dimming the screen is a whole other ball game. Who knew your favorite binge-watching platform could be messing with your movie-watching experience?
So, dear reader, have you had the pleasure of watching Immaculate in all its well-lit glory, or have you been subjected to a darker version of the film? Let us know in the comments below. And hey, if you’ve got friends who love a good psychological horror flick, why not share this article with them? Let’s shed some light on this dark situation together.
