Mike Flanagan’s series Midnight Mass, (on Netflix) with its Biblical horror and villains has a lot of people talking.
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves,” reads Bible verse Matthew 7:15, and Flanagan has conjured one of nightmares.
Set in the island community of Crockett Island, the story follows a disgraced young man who returns home after a tragedy only to witness a seemingly miraculous, preacher named Father Paul arrives on the on the island.
This series is all about who we are, our existence, religion, vampires and mystery all wrapped up in one.
One of the more interesting parts of the movie is the discussion “what happens when we die.”
In short it says: We begin in oblivion, we end in oblivion, and all that we become in between those years goes back into oblivion with us. What remains after death is the common purpose of all living things: To exist, to die, then repeat. The answer to what happens after we die is that it happens all over again — and again and again.
