Fear is the biggest adrenaline rush that we humans have.

It is a new horror series coming to Netflix next month.  Mike Flanagan, the Writer and Director of the series, describes the series as his “Dream Project.” He said that “It is the most personal Story I have told.” Well, after seeing Mike’s work in Haunting of Hill House and Bly Manor, we cannot hold our horses from thinking what his dream project would be like to watch.

The Plot

The storyline is set in Crockett Island, a small and segregated island community. It is full of feuds and differences, amongst its people. The situation becomes worse with the return of an infamous young man (Zach Gilford), who does not hold a good reputation amongst the islanders. Upon his return, mysterious and unexplainable, spooky, and supernatural events hit the city to horror. However, a charismatic priest (Hamish Linklater), who happens to have the same arrival time on the island as Zach Gilford, gives a sense of pacification to the islanders. Moreover, the miraculous events that follow post the arrival of the priest make the islanders cling to religion more than ever.

The islanders soon realize that all good things come with a price, and miracles are no different.  What price will the islanders pay to have to pay for the miracles happening around them? Well, we will find that out on September 24, 2021, on Netflix.

You will be surprised that Kate Siegel, who is starring in the series, is the real-life wife of the creator, director, writer, and producer of Midnight mass i.e. Mike Flanagan.

Trailer

The teaser was out on August 9, 2021. It is full of spooky vibes, and supernatural events from its very first frame, and some intense acting are to be seen from all its characters. The very first look of the teaser depicts that the island and its inhabitants are in chaos. The teaser opens with the church in the background of a priest, who said, “We tend to dislike mysteries” to one of our protagonists Zach Gilford. It depicts the priest’s love for some mischief and that his character has a shady vibe. It is evident that he is not much of a mystery-loving man, and that ill fortune follows him wherever he goes. You can watch the trailer here.

The makeup of the artists playing ghosts and other spooky characters sure sends a chill down the spine, and the VFX work is quite promising and creative. The Writer-Director sure has touched some unexplored areas in the genre. Overall, the teaser trailer is appealing and does what it meant to do i.e. intriguing us more to watch the complete story by teasing.
