Ryan Coogler's Sinners marks his first foray into original storytelling, blending horror with the historically rich backdrop of the Jim Crow South. The film follows twin brothers, both played by Michael B. Jordan, navigating a supernatural encounter with vampires after returning home from World War I and bootlegging. Coogler uniquely ties the culturally rich music of the Delta blues to the horror genre, suggesting that both share a complexity that adds flavor and depth. This daring combination pushes Coogler beyond his previous works and showcases his evolving artistic sensibility.
Coogler describes Sinners as a genre mash-up that combines horror with the cultural potency of Delta blues music, creating an exhilarating and unique narrative.
The film portrays a magical and seductive version of the Jim Crow South, contrasting Coogler's earlier work while remaining deeply interconnected to his creative vision.
