relies heavily on shadows, dark hallways, and muted color palettes. This x265 encode manages to prevent "banding" (ugly color lines in dark areas) that you might see in standard 8-bit files. Efficiency:
Watching Longlegs in this format is designed to replicate the theatrical dread. The compression ensures that the fine film grain intended by Perkins isn't turned into "digital blocks" or noise.
