I am a huge fan of F. Paul Wilson. I think "The Keep" is one of the best horror novels ever written (I read it at least twice a year) and I think his Repairman Jack character is the best character in modern horror fiction.
But this script for Midnight Mass was simply dreadful. Beyond dreadful. When I picked this up, I didn't have a lot of high hopes because of some of the negative comments I saw on IMDB. But I am often at odds with what people say, so I went ahead anyway.
(Some very minor spoilers ahead)
The script, again, was dreadful. The acting was beyond awful (the female lead should never, ever act again). And the simple logic of the events taking place on the screen was stupid (two people walking along a darkened roadway NOT getting attacked by vampires ... a woman seeing Goths attack another woman and seeing the Goths see her and then NOT running away?).
I have always wanted Repairman Jack to come to the big screen, ideally in "The Tomb." But since the film version of "The Keep" was so bad and "Midnight Mass" was so awful, I'm not sure I want to see it anymore.
