Just binged on this stunning horror series called 'Midnight Mass' with my partner over the weekends.
Directed by Mike Flanagan (Haunting of Hill House, Bly Manor).
It was.. a masterpiece.
To put it simply.
His works somehow, always hits a deep spot.
Yet this was another level.
*****Some spoiler alert*****
It touched on every uncomfortable topic I could think of; religion, suicide, death, dementia, miscarriage, animal deaths. Just a lot of unsettling, horrific scenes in this small town. It was like evil lurked at every corner.
That EP 5 audio at the end where the screams of grief just kept stretching out. It sticks in your head. Me and my partner had to take a walk after. Cause it was so brutal. Traumatising.
A woman losing her newborn child and grieving. Seeing two different doctors and both saying that she should see psych. It was devastating.
The play of religion and the discrimination against a modern muslim man, which just hits so close to home.
I could go on.
It was crafted so delicately. Each time.
And after seeing Mike's tweets, I could tell how passionate he was in creating this.
It truly is, something else.
And the monologues. Oh god, the monologues. Mike has a way of doing this even in his previous works.
Sometimes I wonder if it was all improvised. Impromptu.
They just hit really hard. Especially the topics of death they discussed just.. lingers in the back of your head. Describing every detail.
Where do we go when we fall asleep?
It was a beautifully tragic ending for Erin. As she pictured herself with Riley. And going through a different monologue.
'I Am That I Am.'
I am just in awe at the actors for being able to memorise all that in one take, with SO much emotions.
The light that shines through them.
With everyone sharing the same fate.
As they burned away.
Into nothing but ashes.
'Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return'.
Love, Eran.
Let me go
I want to fly
But I don't want to fall anymore
Father can you
Pull me up
I want to fight
But it feels like my times almost out
Sister can you
Stay and talk
I know you're here
Cause you were there from the start
Baby can you
Forgive what I did
I want to love
But I can't get these thoughts out of my head
Who's gonna save me now?
Who's gonna save me now?
Who's gonna save me now?
Who's gonna save me now?
Mother can you
Tell me what do
Is this all there is
Or is there ever light that shines through
Father can you
Here me scream
I want to show you I am
But you're not listening
Brother can you
Say your proud
I know you are
But I need to hear you say it out loud
Who's gonna save me now?
Who's gonna save me now?
Who's gonna save me now?
Who's gonna save me now?
