Angels of Light: Hypocrites, Prophets, and Prodigals at the ‘Midnight Mass’
By Brian Keiper

This remains my favorite piece that I’ve ever written. I spilled more blood on the page here than ever before. Midnight Mass by @flanaganfilm.bsky.social had such a profound effect on me and in light of recent events, this piece seems more relevant than ever.

I have finally seen my most anticipated movie of the year. And for once I was not disappointed. It manages to stay true to the spirit of Shelley’s novel, make some nice references to earlier films, and still be its own thing all at the same time. One of my favorites of the year.

I can’t really explain why but this movie really shook me up and I didn’t even realize it until I’d left the theater and got to my car. I haven’t had that string of a response to a movie in a long time. I thought it was great! But it also really got under my skin.
Heading back out into the world and watching something weird. Or at least I hope it’s weird.
