Midnight Mass, Netflix’s latest horror show, has left viewers ‘unable to sleep’ as it’s so ‘terrifying’. 

The programme, which has reached number three in the UK on the streaming service, is set in the isolated community of Crockett Island, where the residents start to experience supernatural events after the new parish priest arrives in town.

The drama features seven episodes which were written, directed, and executive produced by Mike Flanagan, who also made The Haunting of Hill House, and fans have been heaping praise on him.

Watch the trailer for Midnight Mass below… 

One person wrote: “Mike Flanagan’s Midnight Mass is a thought-provoking, terrifying, and poignant horror masterpiece.

“The terror is mythical, spiritual, and standing at your bedside every night. Every character is beautifully written and every turn left my jaw on the floor. TOP-TIER HORROR. WOW.”

I recommend Midnight Mass for all humans with beating hearts and love for spectacular storytelling, performances, and cinema, @flanaganfilm is a master and this is his masterpiece.

Another added: “So Midnight Mass absolutely destroyed me. I can’t stop crying or thinking about the philosophy of death and how that informs life. I’ll never sleep now.”

However, others enjoyed it so much they are watching it again.

 “Here’s my advice. Watch #MidnightMass immediately. And then, as soon as you are done, watch it again,” wrote one person. “The second viewing is somehow, impossibly, even more gratifying than the first.”

The synopsis for the programme reads: “The arrival of a charismatic young priest brings glorious miracles, ominous mysteries and renewed religious fervour to a dying town desperate to believe.”
