Vampires stalk the Jim Crow South in Ryan Coogler's "Sinners," a fresh take on bloodsucking mythology that blends horror, history, and blues into a compelling narrative about family bonds and ancient evil.
When twin brothers Smoke and Stack (both played masterfully by Michael B. Jordan) return to their Mississippi hometown after robbing Al Capone, they discover a supernatural threat waiting to welcome them back. Their contrasting worldviews – Stack trusts only in money and weapons while Smoke carries hex bags for protection – create a fascinating dynamic as they confront the vampire Remick and his growing coven.
Coogler crafts a vampire mythology that draws from classics like "30 Days of Night" and "From Dusk Till Dawn" while adding his own distinctive touches. His vampires share a hive mind, absorb memories through blood consumption, and have distinctive glowing red eyes that signal their hunger. The film also introduces intriguing cultural elements, including Choctaw Native Americans as vampire hunters who understand how to combat the supernatural threat.
The story weaves subtle commentary on oppression through its antagonist – Remick speaks of his Irish people being colonized by Catholics while ironically enslaving others through vampirism. This contradiction, along with racial tensions of the era shown through Klan members unknowingly sheltering a monster, adds depth to what could have been a straightforward horror tale.
Though not without flaws in its vampire rules and plot consistency, "Sinners" succeeds as an entertaining horror experience worthy of its 3.5-star rating. It demonstrates Coogler's versatility beyond superhero films and his understanding of horror conventions while finding fresh angles on familiar tropes.
