Midnight Mass (2002) - Synopsis
The vampires had won...
Guarded by mankind's disbelief in their existence, they moved swiftly. City by city at first, then country by country until they dominated the globe. Such is the world in which "Midnight Mass" is set. Father Joe Cahill, a once reputed and respected Catholic priest, had been quietly forced out of the parish of St. Anthony's by false accusations of sexual misconduct. Now living the life of a recluse, Father Joe struggles to regain his faith in humanity and the parishioners who failed to believe in him.
In the time since the vampiric occupation, the church of St. Anthony's has been overrun and severely desecrated by the local nest of nosferatu led by the unholy Father Palmeri. The vampire scourge is aided by a group of disillusioned youths known as the "Vichy." These nihilistic "goths" are dedicated to serving Palmeri in exchange for immortality.
Father Joe finds an unlikely but loyal friend in the character of Gwen Waters, a militant atheist who struggles to cling to her logic in a world where a crucifix is your best friend. In the final days, when religious iconary has never been more important, Joe and Gwen will risk everything for the lives of parishioners and attempt to reclaim the church during their MIDNIGHT MASS...
