Hi /r/movies! We’re Ian Spendloff and Ross Wilkinson, the VFX team who brought Mr. Ring-A-Ding to life in Doctor Who Season 2: Lux. Other credits include Avengers: Infinity War, Ms. Marvel, The Marvels, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Black Mirror, and much more. Ask us anything!

Sinners actually ended up surprising me. I wasn’t sure what kind of vampire movie Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan were going to pull off, but what they delivered was something bold, rich, and messy in all the right ways.

Set in 1932 Clarksdale, Mississippi, the film finds twin brothers (both played by Jordan) trying to outrun their past by opening a blues club, only to discover that vampires have made the town their hunting ground. That concept had me hooked, and I loved the dark atmosphere.

What really makes this movie stand out is how Coogler uses music to fueled the story and tone. There’s blues, of course, and even traditional Irish folk music woven throughout. Both styles come with heavy emotional baggage, and the film leans into that.

The vampires in Sinners aren’t just monsters, they’re symbols of cultural trauma, of colonialism and exploitation, both Black and Irish. It’s wild how Coogler connects those dots and manages to turn into a full-fledged horror vampire movie.

There are two musical set pieces in the film that really stuck with me. One is an electrifying, rowdy, and pulsing jam session at the Juke Joint, which does some really interesting things that reverberates through time and immortalizes the people who make it. It’s wild as we see music and time collide in such a powerful way.

The other… comes from the vampires, as they perform Irish folk music as they wait to attack. I also loved the way music is performed. Coogler explained in an interview with that these moments were non-negotiable for him. “The movie doesn’t work without those scenes.”

The whole movie is soaked in blood, history, and music, there’s a bloody savagery to the vampire attacks, and Coogler doesn’t hold back. He reminds you that monsters might be fictional, but the horrors that inspire them are very real. This thing goes hard with the blood and gore.

So, don’t mistake all this depth for a soft horror experience, Sinners is brutal. When it leans into vampire mode, it doesn’t hold back. The violence is savage, raw, and dripping with gore. There are scenes where the vampires attack with such feral intensity it feels more like watching wild animals than anything human.

Feeding frenzies explode with buckets of blood. It’s vicious in all the right ways, and Coogler doesn’t shy away from showing just how terrifying these creatures can be when they let go of their humanity. This primal and horrifying.

Now, while I was fully into the story, I do think Sinners could’ve been a leaner movie. It runs about 30 minutes too long, and there are stretches where it loses momentum. Some of the pacing feels sluggish, and tightening that up would’ve taken this from “really good” to “great.” It doesn’t ruin the experience, but there’s definitely a tighter cut of this movie somewhere that might’ve elevated the overall experience.

I walked away from this movie impressed. The performances carry the movie through, Michael B. Jordan is solid in both roles, Hailee Steinfeld and Jack O’Connell are also solid, but it’s Delroy Lindo who absolutely owns every scene he’s in. The man walks on screen and the energy shifts with his grounded, fiery presence.

At its core, Sinners is a stylish, bloody, and emotionally charged horror movie. It’s a film that wants you to feel the weight of cultural memory while being entertained by a story about brutal bloodthirst vampires.

Coogler swings big with this one, and while not every beat lands perfectly, the ambition and heart behind it are undeniable. The movie is spiritual reclamation dressed in fangs and music.
