Sinners

It’s always gratifying to see a filmmaker take a big step up in his or her career, and that’s precisely what writer-director Ryan Coogler has done in his latest offering, a project that reflects a significant jump in the depth, artistry and sophistication of his creative output. Coming on the heels of his successes in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” (2022), “Creed” (2015) and “Fruitvale Station” ...

<em>'Sinners'</em> is a fair load of fun. It admittedly didn't fully knock my socks off, but there isn't any doubt that it is a very good film. It's stylish with impressive music and visuals, whilst all of the acting talent give good performances. It's paced astutely too. Michael B. Jordan is as entertaining as he usually tends to be, I do like seeing him act. The dual role is done well here, t...

I don't think I liked it as much as most people seem to, and definitely not as much as the critics, but think this movie nailed about 85% of what it tried to. The setting, music, costumes, makeup, gore, and effects were exceedingly well done. The film is well-acted (Delroy Lindo was the standout) and it was definitely worth seeing in the theatre. My only complaints are that the ending felt ...

Sinners started off similar to a gritty drama in the Deep South, every character felt so built and I was fully invested. Then the vampire elements started twirling in. That first fade into the moon, the guitar riff, unbelievably hard Mr. Coogler. It gave a feeling I haven’t felt since watching dune 2. Oh and the scene where we go through the history and future of music, best scene of the decade m...

Michael B. Jordan is “Smoke” and twin brother “Stack” in this classy drama of a pair who’ve lived on the wrong side of the tracks for most of their lives, but have determined to go home and try to go straight. To that end, they buy an old barn and hope to set up their own speakeasy - with only a nominal nod to prohibition - pumping to the rafters with dancing and blues music. On the way, they ally...

It's a vampire movie. They really hate White people. Sick of this proud to be racist crap.

Sinners (2025) – A Spiritual, Sonic, Soul-Shaking Masterpiece There are films that claim to echo with heart, with history, with heritage—and then there is "Sinners," Ryan Coogler’s audacious, transcendent blend of Gothic folklore, musical soulcraft, and cultural reclamation. It doesn’t just echo. It sings. It howls. It bleeds. From its first frame to its devastating final image, Sinners is a fu...

Full disclosure, I've been to Clarksdale and it is the best. This film is like Morgan Freeman's juke joint. I liked the compact, intimate nature of Red's more. Middle of this is draggy. Parties aren't that fun to watch. There are a lot of quick and intense action bits to wake up for but at the same time...it's long. Why do movies have to be so long? Why does the ending of this have to be even l...

ALERT: might be spoilers lurking here. Thankfully I didn't see any film trailers but I did glance over a few magazine covers to see it was a movie about twins and vampires. What I didn't know was that it was also a period piece so that was a surprise. How the vampires appeared was also a surprise. I thought one of the twins was already a vampire and had somehow hidden it from his brother...

this movie is absolutely beautiful. i was hesitant to watch it because i don’t care for vampire stories, but this is way more than just a “vampire story.” it shows the beauty of black culture while also discussing the very real aspect of oppression, especially back in the jim crow era, where this movie takes place. the scary scenes were scary, the sad scenes were sad, and everything in between did...

It's a reboot of 'From Dusk til Dawn'. But... From Dusk til Dawn is a much better movie! As a period piece it's pretty good... but the storyline is a total snore-fest.

**Capitalism as the Real Monster: How "Sinners 2025" Uses Vampires to Critique America** The movie takes place in the United States during the era of racial segregation, when problems between whites and blacks were escalating. Films about this era depict an important part of American history, an aspect America tries to hide and avoid discussing. The film features two twin characters, "Stack"...

This was alright, decent vamp flick, but I don't really get the super high praise for this movie. I liked the lighting in the final scene. Ham on face.

**_Anima Vestra._** What you crave will soon be yours; what I crave is already mine. Equilibrium in desire, halved in all else that matters.

Movie Review: Sinners (2025) A gripping and refreshingly original addition to the vampire genre, Sinners fuses its blood-soaked mythology with a rich musical sensibility that feels deeply tied to its era. There’s a hint of the Cornetto trilogy’s off beat charm, but the film ultimately leans into a more grounded exploration of family, artistry, and social division. The cinematography is superb s...

Horror films well done are supposed to leave you scarred and weave their way into your conscience, for they represent the worst of what we don't want to acknowledge in our societies. And that is Sinners for you, too, not just a story of racial tensions with music and mythic creatures: it brings forward many questions about race, class, capital, reconstruction and assimilation. By the hand of an in...

I'm not sure how this movie can get such great reviews. The acting isn't particularly good, and the plot is about as deep as a beer can. It might be okay to watch once, but it's not really good.

“Sinners” (2025) is a bold, blood‑soaked Southern gothic that fuses period drama, blues musical, and vampire horror into a single, swaggering vision. Set in the 1930s Deep South, it follows twin brothers returning home to start over, only to find their town haunted by both supernatural predators and all‑too‑human racism. Visually, the film is stunning: long, fluid shots and richly textured product...
