"Despite being a huge critical and theatrical hit in 2025, Ryan Coogler's stunning horror movie Sinners somehow left the Golden Globes without recognition for its acting or directing. However, it looks like Hollywood has an opportunity to redeem itself: the film has just received a record-breaking 16 Oscar nominations, including nods in most of the top-tier categories. Sinners, one of the smartest horror movies ever made,"
"Sinners, one of the smartest horror movies ever made, tells the story of identical twin brothers Elijah (Smoke) and Elias (Stack) Moore (both Michael B. Jordan), a pair of WWI vets and criminals returning to their hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi in 1932 after seven years of robbing the mob in Chicago. In the Jim Crow South, the brothers buy an abandoned sawmill and open it as a jazz joint for the Black population"
Sinners is a 2025 horror film by Ryan Coogler that blends supernatural elements, blues mythology, and Jim Crow–era realism. The story follows identical twin WWI veterans and criminals Elijah and Elias Moore (both played by Michael B. Jordan) returning to Clarksdale, Mississippi in 1932 to open a jazz club in an abandoned sawmill. The club becomes entwined with Robert Johnson–like blues abilities, vampires and vampire hunters, and the Ku Klux Klan. Sinners earned major box-office success and won awards for Best Original Score and Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, and it received a record-setting 16 Academy Award nominations.
