Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' is a unique vampire film that dives into themes of loss, love, and cultural identity. The narrative follows Smoke, who reconnects with his girlfriend Annie, highlighting their shared pain over a lost child and differing beliefs in healing traditions. The film presents a thought-provoking exploration of the afterlife and relationships, posing the question of whether it's better to be alive or with loved ones. Coogler balances serious themes with elements of camp, culminating in a distinctive blend that challenges the conventions of modern horror storytelling.
Coming at the end of a decade that saw the rise of so-called 'prestige horror,' Sinners is a desperately needed antidote.
The film presents characters with the central questionâis it better to be alive, or with the ones you love?âand the answer is a resounding who knows?
