\n The filmmaker behind the recent Sydney Sweeney horror movie Immaculate<\/em> is addressing criticism about scenes from the film app<\/a>earing to be overly dark when viewed on certain streaming platforms. <\/p>\n

\n Michael Mohan took to X (formerly Twitter) on Monday after a social media<\/a> user complained that the Neon film\u2019s visuals were \u201ccomically dark\u201d and shared screenshots showing that it was difficult to see what was happening as the movie was streaming. In his response<\/a>, Mohan made it clear that he empathized with the concerns and had not intended for the film to look so dark. <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI know, man,\u201d Mohan replied. \u201cThis was absolutely not done intentionally. We have no control over the compression specs of each platform.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n He continued, \u201cIt\u2019s a real problem that truly bums me out, and after comparing them all, iTunes is the closest to what we wanted \/ brighter than the rest.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> reached out to a Neon representative who declined to comment.<\/p>\n

\n Mohan is not the first filmmaker to address concerns surrounding compression, a process that reduces the file size of a project so it can be be viewed on streaming platforms. During a segment last year for Konbini\u2019s Vid\u00e9o Club<\/a><\/em>, Christopher Nolan \u2014 a noted advocate for shooting on film and viewing titles in theaters \u2014 discussed his preference of DVD and Blu-ray formats over streaming. <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThere\u2019s much less compression \u2014 we control the color, brightness and all these things,\u201d the Oscar-winning Oppenheimer<\/em> director said of DVD and Blu-ray at the time. \u201cStreaming is like broadcasting a film. We don\u2019t have much control on how it goes out.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n Neon released Immaculate<\/em> in theaters March 22 following its premiere at this year\u2019s South by Southwest festival, and it was available on premium VOD platforms the following month. Starring Sweeney as a woman who learns about the horrors of a mysterious Italian convent, Immaculate<\/em> is set for release on DVD and Blu-ray on June 11. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
