There’s a trailer just released for Midnight Mass, a limited horror series coming this September — prepare to be chilled
The series is released on September 24, sp plenty of time to watch ahead of Halloween! Here’s the official synopsis:
From The Haunting of Hill House creator Mike Flanagan, MIDNIGHT MASS tells the tale of a small, isolated island community whose existing divisions are amplified by the return of a disgraced young man (Zach Gilford) and the arrival of a charismatic priest (Hamish Linklater). When Father Paul’s appearance on Crockett Island coincides with unexplained and seemingly miraculous events, a renewed religious fervour takes hold of the community — but do these miracles come at a price?
Created and directed by Flanagan, the seven episode limited series also stars Kate Siegel, Rahul Abburi, Crystal Balint, Matt Biedel, Alex Essoe, Annarah Cymone, Annabeth Gish, Rahul Kohli, Kristin Lehman, Robert Longstreet, Igby Rigney, Samantha Sloyan, Henry Thomas, and Michael Trucco. The series is executive produced by Flanagan and Trevor Macy for Intrepid Pictures.
We recommend the trailer, which we believe gives a good sense of the series. There were moments we were reminded of Amazon Prime’s Preacher, but on second watch this is likely as it’s a spin on the ‘new priest in town’ trope. We’ve added this to our Netflix reminder list, and suggest you do too!
