'Sinners' Is A Worthy Blockbuster | Defector
Briefly

Ryan Coogler has consistently impressed as a director, but questions remained about his ability to create original content. His latest project, Sinners, marks a departure from franchises, centering on twin brothers who encounter supernatural forces in a Mississippi juke joint. Set in 1932, the film features themes of music and ancestral spirits, incorporating elements of horror as the blues attract vampires. With this work, Coogler aims to demonstrate his unique creative voice beyond the bounds of established IP.
Coogler, like a lot of talented, capable young filmmakers, got quickly nabbed by the Hollywood system... but there has always been a question about what he can do with his own purely original work.
Sinners tells the story of twin brothers Elijah "Smoke" Moore and Elias "Stack" Moore... But later on in the night, everyone there gets more than they bargained for when the power of the blues seems to open a portal to hell.
