Sinners

Far from feeling indulgent, the picture is positively economical in the way it addresses so many ideas – sociological, cultural, historical – while forwarding its rattling, viscera-soaked yarn.

Coogler's Sinners is the best film of the year so far.

Never coherently articulates (or draws connections between) its various concerns, proving a handsomely horrific vampire bloodbath that, ahem, bites off more than it can chew.

Just when you thought there didn't need to be another vampire movie, along comes director/writer Ryan Coogler who says, "hold my holy water."

It's an almost brilliant piece of work, but like the bullet-riddled bodies that pile up, there are so many nagging little holes here that meaning slightly drains away...

One to sink your teeth into.

Coogler's best movie to date.

It is a breathtaking cinematic experience, one where Coogler uses everything at his disposal to create an immersive experience full of rich characters and impeccable craftsmanship.


Invites you sink your teeth into the juicy, boldly unexpected turns of its spicy and sensual deep-South honky-tonk horror show.

Coogler finds the perfect way to mix genres with ease while creating a film that is not only an ode to blues music but to exploitation cinema as well.
