Ryan Coogler's critically-acclaimed vampire drama Sinners is now in theaters, and if you want to know how the movie ends, you'll find a full breakdown of the last act along with two post-credits scene below.
Major spoilers ahead.
Terrified of head vampire Remmick (Jack O'Connel) making good on his threat to pay her daughter a visit, Grace (Li Jun Li) invites the bloodsuckers inside the Smokestack Bothers' juke joint for a final confrontation. This proves to be a lethal mistake, and leads to the deaths of Grace, Annie (Wunmi Mosaku), Pearline (Jayme Lawson) and Delta Slim (Delroy Lindo).
Smoke (Michael B. Jordan) faces off with his now vampire brother Stack (Jordan), keeping him busy while Sammy (Miles Caton) makes his escape. Remmick follows the young musician outside, but is held at bay long enough for the sun to do its work and destroy Remmick and the rest of the vampires (or so we think).
As a distraught Sammy returns to his preacher father, Smoke waits for the KKK members who Remmick warned him about. Smoke manages to dispatch all of his enemies, but is badly wounded in the process. As he lays dying, he has a vision of Annie and their late son beckoning him to the afterlife.
The mid-credits scene jumps forward to 1992, as we learn that Sammy went against his father's wishes and left Mississippi to start a successful career as a bluesman in Chicago. After a gig, Sammy is told that two old friends are waiting to see him, and in walks Stack and Mary (Hailee Steinfeld).
Stack tells his nephew that Smoke spared his life on the condition that he left Sammy alone and never pursued him. Stack offers to turn Sammy into a vampire, but the old man tells him that he's "seen enough of this place."
Stack and Mary get up to leave, and Sammy tells his uncle that opening night was the greatest time of his life up until the vampire massacre. Stack agrees, admitting that having everyone together under his roof felt like true freedom, even if it was just for a few hours.
The post-credits cuts back to a younger Sammy at his father's church, singing "This Little Light of Mine".
Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.
“You keep dancing with the devil, one day he’s gonna follow you home.”
