After The Hauntung Of Bly Manor was a slight dip following The Haunting Of Hill House, Midnight Mass is an absolute return to top form by Mike Flanagan.
This is original material, beautifully written, expertly directed, and wonderfully acted. Flanagan is undoubtedly now one his generation's top writer-directors, and a stand-out in the horror genre.
But it's his gift for character development, emotionally investing the viewer into every character that sets him apart from his peers.
