Midnight Mass

The arrival of a new priest brings miracles, mysteries, and renewed religious fervor to a small dying island town.

Mike Flanagan seems to be the horror icon that no one is talking about. What makes Flanagan's horror so unique is that it is so much more than a horror story. He incorporates so many human elements into his stories that they feel more like a drama than straight-up horror. Again in Midnight Mass, he incorporates human elements into horror masterfully.

The story that Flanagan has created is honestly beautiful. The long and elevated monologues were gorgeous to listen to. The philosophical and religious dialogs were fascinating and moving. I was surprised by how emotional I was by the end of this show because it made me question my humanity. Furthermore, the way Flanagan mixes and combines vampiric mythology and catholicism is seamless. If you think that "angel" looked like a demon then you need to look up what biblically accurate angels look like because they are terrifying.

The characters in this show are incredibly real and grounded, and everyone gives a fantastic performance. Kate Siegal is amazing again working with Flanagan. Zach Gilford gave an amazing performance as the man who is consumed by his guilt. Rahul Kohli was a standout performance in this series. Everyone else gave phenomenal performances. However, the two show-stealers in this series come from Samantha Sloyan and Hamish Linklater. I absolutely despise Sloyan's character because her performance is so real. She perfectly portrays the religious nut who will justify anything by quoting the Bible. If you are offended by her character then you are probably whom Flanagan was making a commentary on. Linklater is fantastic as the charismatic priest. He has long monologues that are executed masterfully. He is at the end of the series what you expect a good priest to be.

The cinematography in this series is excellent. Almost every shot looks like a painting. The horror elements are excellent and never feel overused. The score is outstanding and you mix it with some hymns and it's almost angelic to listen to. Even though I am an atheist, I do respect Flanagan for not going full anti-religion in this series. He portrays both the good and the bad aspects of religion. If you are someone who has a bunch of religious trama then this series is going to bring back some painful memories for you.

This series does have some minor issues. It does take a little while for the series to get going with its story. Furthermore, I think there is a bit of a plot hole on why a certain character took so long to turn into a "vampire", while everyone else it was almost instantaneous. That was one question that I had.

Mike Flanagan again has crafted an incredibly human horror drama. His commentary on death, religion, and philosophy is outstanding in this series. You will laugh, you will be angry, and you will cry while watching this series. I hope that it gets some award recognition.

I am giving Midnight Mass, an A-.
