Salems.lot.2024.1080p.-cm-.mp4 -
Likely an AAC 5.1 or stereo downmix. Dialogue is clear, but jump scares lack the low-end punch of a lossless track. Fine for casual viewing on a TV or laptop; audiophiles may want a higher-quality source.
★★★☆☆ (3/5 for the file quality + movie) Salems.Lot.2024.1080p.-CM-.mp4
Properly tagged, no watermarks, and plays without stutter on VLC and Plex. No signs of re-encoding from a lower source. If you’re grabbing a temp copy before a 4K remux, this works. Likely an AAC 5
The 1080p encode from CM is solid for a scene release. Bitrate holds up well in darker scenes (crucial for a vampire horror), though some nighttime exterior shots show minor blocking. No major artifacts, and the color grading feels faithful to the film’s bleak, autumnal tone. ★★★☆☆ (3/5 for the file quality + movie)
