SINNERS (2025) – Ryan Coogler’s Southern Gothic Horror Thriller
Sinners starts as a period drama before bleeding into horror: twin brothers Smoke and Stack return to their hometown and launch a juke joint intended to uplift Black community life. As supernatural forces surface—in the form of vampiric terror—the story amplifies themes of cultural appropriation, trauma under Jim Crow, and the power of blues music as resistance and preservation. Vampires symbolize exploitative forces, with Michael B. Jordan delivering a powerhouse dual performance that anchors the emotional and allegorical weight of the film.
