TV shows to look forward to: Midnight Mass

 



The Midnight Mass trailer is here, finally filling the blanks left by the teaser.

We see a man returning to Crockett Island a long time after causing an accident in which a girl died whose image still haunts him.

Crockett Island seems like an ideal place with a strong community bond. There is forgiveness and support and friendship.

Things seem to change a bit when a young priest comes to the Island. He challenges the faith of the people, encouraging a disabled girl to walk again.

Things soon get weird. Birds and cats are found dead on the beach. A terrifying storm approaches, throwing everything into turmoil.

So what exactly is going on? We will find out only on September 24th on Netflix.

But before that, let's not ignore the fact that the premise seems a bit familiar to The Unholy, a horror movie that came out this year.

 

 In that, a mute girl begins to speak after she thinks she sees visions of Mary. Of course, it turns out the visions were not from the Holy Mary but from someone else entirely. And what is the first miracle that takes place?

A disabled boy walks again.

Just like in Midnight Mass.

Hopefully, the similarities end there. The trailer surely looks promising enough.

The Limehouse Golem- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Elizabeth's husband is found dead, all fingers point to her. But is it really her or the work of a serial killer? If like me, you’ve read hundreds of mysteries and are enthused about Sherlock Holmes tales, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is actually pretty predictable. Set in the Victorian Era, it promises to instil fear in you. Before Jack the Ripper, there was Golem- such is the tagline and you do want it to be the kind of movie that keeps you guessing until the very end as to the true identity of the killer.   Unlike the Jack the Ripper legend, Golem is easily recognizable in the very first instance the character is introduced.

Delirium (2018)— My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: After leaving the asylum and put in house arrest, Tom begins to believe the house is either haunted or he is hallucinating.  Most times, when we think about criminals, we wonder what could possible have prompted them to fall into a life of crime.

Look Away— my take on the movie with spoilers!

Plot Summary: A bullied girl switches places with her reflection. She soon regrets her decision as people start dying.  What matters most? Looks or confidence? When we see someone for the first time, we do notice their looks, the way they dress. Personality and their ability to initiate and hold a conversation comes second, doesn't it? Imagine meeting someone who is good looking but is dull to the core. Now imagine someone with average looks but is someone you can have fun with or have an intellectual conversation. Which seems more attractive? Look Away takes a very bold stand where appearances are concerned. But also about self-confidence. In the end, the only argument it makes is that one cannot possess both attributes. LOOK AWAY Movie Plot  We are introduced to a timid girl, Maria whose father is a plastic surgeon. Her mother is shown to have no say of her own. She is left to watch her husband ridicule his daughter about not being careful with her looks. Maria has a friend Lily
