Ryan Coogler’s Sinners

[Viator]

Peak is incoming.

For those unfamiliar, a bidding war took place a short while back for what would be Ryan Coogler and MBJs big new original film. Originally said to be a vampyric film, it caught the eye of multiple major studios including Universals I believe.

New trailer for this is out today, but I'd consider it INCREDIBLY spoilery (even though it confirmed a lot of things I suspected).

I think it looks terrific, but if you're at all interested in the movie already, skip the trailer!

Rather than asking in the spec thread(s) for HHN....

Is this a legit vampire and/or horror movie, or is it just an after-thought "surprise reveal" type of situation?

it's legit Vampires.

I've been hesitant to make effort to watch it since it's getting award recognition, usually most horror related movies get overlooked and/or snubbed

So it seemed to give off the overhyped artsy type vibes. BUT if it's vampires from start to finish, then yay

Still don’t see how you can make a full-length house out of it.

There’s allegories to serious, real world stuff, but it’s very much a straight vampire movie; vampire rules and all.

Film is a psuedo Jukebox musical that plays into the elements and themes of communities, how assimilation through multiple forms are a present part of people’s lives, in a period piece storyline that has elements that spans multiple ethnicities in one package.

The Vampires are a core and essential part to the assimilation metaphors and themes, but they aren’t until about the 40-45 minute mark of the film. It is however highly worth the watch and is incredibly mainstream (which if you’ve seen the likes of Black Panther or Creed, you’d understand due to the directors style).

The ending/mid-credits scene gets me so choked up.

Ah okay. Sounds interesting.

I'll give it a watch once confirmed for HHN haha, but also available on streaming.
