Midnight Mass is effing brilliant. Talk about original and creative! Plus, beautifully executed. As usual with this creator, I had to watch it twice to get all the amazing details. I guess that's a weakness. I shouldn't have to watch twice, but I loved doing it.

The ending is one of the most amazing things I've seen on a screen.

I’ve always subscribed to that creation story that is revealed at the end.

I just read the book, and I know there’s a Swedish film and American remake.
Again, 12-year-old vampire.
Unconventional, and deglamorizing vampires, but VERY unsettling.
