Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' belongs to the tradition of vampire-siege movies
Briefly

Ryan Coogler's upcoming movie delves into themes of vampirism set in 1932, featuring twin brothers, Smoke and Stack, who grapple with their realities amidst Chicago's gangster backdrop. Their narrative unfolds as they confront an army of vampires led by a figure from Smoke’s past, Annie. This film diverges from classic vampire lore by presenting the vampires as a collective 'hive mind' rather than seductive solitary creatures, engaging in a siege-style narrative that offers a fresh approach to vampiric horror.
In Sinners, vampires are depicted more as a collective with a hive mind, focusing on draining souls rather than the traditional allure of turning victims.
Smoke and Stack, set in 1932, reflect on the era’s gangster lifestyle, potentially missing cultural phenomena like films while navigating their own dangerous reality.
