Award-winning Ryan Coogler continues his streak of excellent movies with Sinners, which stars Michael B. Jordan, Wunmi Mosaku, and Hailee Steinfeld, who all deliver amazing performances.
The film revolves around twin brothers returning to their Mississippi hometown to open a juke joint, finding a great evil waiting for them on opening night. This movie is a great watch if you like horror or the director’s previous work.
The plot of the film can be very captivating and sucks the viewers into the setting of the world, which can make viewers want to rewatch it to truly make sure they catch all of the details.
The setting of the story, being set in the 30s, also makes it stand out compared to other vampire films. It also had a good balance of horror and comedy that helped the plot flow smoothly.
All of the characters in the film also feel very likable and feel like they all add something to the film that it wouldn’t be the same without. The main villain of the film (Jack O’Connell) brings an insane amount of energy to the film that makes the character very memorable. Also, Michael B. Jordan was able to portray the different personalities of the twins so well that it felt like two completely separate people were there at the same time.
The cinematography of the film is also beautiful because it makes the viewer feel like they’re in the world of the film. The film’s soundtrack also feels truly magical due to the power of music being a major factor in the events in the story.
The songs can also capture the scene’s mood and fit seamlessly into the on-screen action. The special effects of the movie are great, and the gore of the film is very well done as well.
The themes of the movie and the overall message are supported by the events of the story, which they use in the finale to make a beautiful moment of self-realization. Also, the theme of the film is heavily shown through other characters and their personal stories.
All in all, the film is great and can keep the attention of people watching through interesting action and deep dialogue. This film would be worth a watch if you like vampire movies, period pieces, or even the director’s previous work. But if you don’t like horror, then this would not be an enjoyable watch.
