Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler (Black Panther) and starring Michael B. Jordan, (Creed) Wunmi Mosaku,(Deadpool & Wolverine) and Hailee Steinfeld, (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse), tells the story of twin brothers Smoke and Stack (played by Jordan) who open a local Juke Joint only to find that their dreams of being Black Business owners in the Jim Crow South are not what they hoped for.
From Dusk Till Dawn meets John Carpenter’s Vampires; this movie lifts the veil between supernatural and reality. This horror story reveals and exposes the history and traditions of African Americans in a time when fighting for the liberties of black people created a never-ending energy of a deep-rooted strength uniquely displayed within the characters.
Sinners is a film that horror fans will love. The cast was engaging and energetic. The musical elements added depth and culture to the story, while the cast was connected and brought a freshness to the screen.
The creature design was done well, and the special effects and sound added to the historical horror’s nature.
This movie is a must-see.
I gave the film Sinners a 5 out of 5!
