Sinners - Reviews

Finally free from the Marvel machine, Ryan Coogler delivers the goods and then some with his music-powered, genre-splicing latest.

In some ways, this is a Black version of Robert Rodriguez’s 90s head-trip From Dusk Till Dawn... but that isn’t exactly how Coogler plays this film tonally.

Ryan Coogler enters the horror realm and nails it in Sinners, which drops vampires into a deeply personal, heartfelt, emotional, sexy, and bloody story that’ll stick with you.

It’s the kind of film that makes you believe we can tell serious stories, even in the realm of horror.

Ryan Coogler’s best movie so far is a bloody, bluesy, and throbbingly fun vampire saga.

This collision of 'Queen of the Damned' and 'From Dusk Till Dawn' offers plenty of spectacle, even if it offers few new wrinkles to the vampire mythology.

Michael B Jordan’s wild Southern Gothic horror is an utterly thrilling oddity.

...a vampire story with something to say about America’s unresolved sins and reinforces that Coogler is one of his generation’s best filmmakers, mining something fresh from every genre he tackles.

...isn’t a hodgepodge, but it’s remarkably at ease with its mix-and-match approach to genre; it’s one of those wonderful experiences that seem dreamed up before anyone had a chance to cite a how-to screenwriting guide.

If the Coen Brothers’ O Brother, Where Art Thou? and the Robert Rodriguez & Quentin Tarantino mash-up From Dusk Till Dawn had a love child, it might look something like this.

This is a bold new film with plenty of teeth, one that will keep you chewing on its many thoughts long after the horror thrills have left you.

A sweltering, swaggering movie with plenty to chew on.

It's an essential movie, perhaps on a level with Get Out.

...a full-on, gore-spewing, guts-spilling vampire film, one of the scarier ones you’ll see in a very long time.
