You keep dancing with the devil…one day he’s gonna follow you home…”
Sinners released in theaters on April 18th 2025. The vampire horror action film stars Michael B. Jordan, Wunmi Mosaku, Hailee Steinfeld, Li Jun Li, Miles Caton, Omar Benson Miller, Jayme Lawson, Delroy Lindo, and Jack O’Connell. The film runs for approximately two hours and seventeen minutes.
Set in 1932, twin brothers, Smoke and Stack return home to Mississippi to open up a local juke joint, but they unintentionally draw attention from a great evil in the process.
Sinners has everything I want in a horror movie and more with a layered story, blood-soaked gore, and fantastic music that will seamlessly transport you to another time and place. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…
The Pros:
An exceptional cinematic experience!
While I enjoy a lot of movies, it’s becoming more and more rare to find gems that truly stand out, but Sinners just did that, holding its own against so many exceptional films from the past.
This movie had it all! It sunk its teeth into the audience and never let go. There was action, gore, layered characters, and fantastic music. It effortlessly blended several genres together, presenting us with a bloody masterpiece nearly close to perfection.
The Cons:
A touch too long.
I really don’t have many cons for this because I thought it was such an entertaining film, but it was a little bit too long for me personally. This film is a bit of a slow burn so be prepared for that, but once our characters arrive at the juke joint, things kick into high gear and I forgot about how long I was sitting there.
So am I in or out?
I’m in 100 percent!!!!
Sinners is pretty damn close to perfection, reminding me why I fell in love with movies in the first place.
The vampire genre is back and here to stay!
