Ryan Coogler’s first horror movie Sinners expertly blends plenty of vampires and music into a compelling story about twin brothers played by Michael B. Jordan.

#SinnersMovie / #Sinners is excellent! Ryan Coogler levels up, delivering a gorgeous compendium of Black culture, history & spirituality that sneaks in a wholly original period horror piece about gangsters vs. vampires.

Ryan Coogler's Sinners is a rollicking crowd-pleaser packing a nasty bite, a horrific folktale with a genuine soul, and one of the best movies of 2025. https://t.co/9j21N6kOtq

Vampire-Western-Musical "Sinners" is a big, bold, beautiful mess from Ryan Coogler, who wrestles with what it means to be a liberated filmmaker still working within studio constraints. A goofy, chilling, spiritual splatter film with prestige sheen. Love it https://t.co/bKp83j0TX7

“Sinners,” written and directed by Ryan Coogler, is a lush, enveloping, historical, phantasmagorical social-panorama from-dusk-till-dawn vampire film.
