It’s 1932 in Mississippi. The black twin brothers Smoke and Stack come back to their home town in Mississippi from Chicago, where they worked for the mafia and made some money. They want to start a blues bar. In one day, they buy an old sawmill, hire musicians, cooks, bartenders, bouncers, advertise the event, and start the party.

At night, as things get rolling with the music, vampires start showing up, taking out one after the other partiers.

With a running time of 137 minutes, I think it was 137 minutes too long. I was mostly bored and grossed out.

Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler, won a shocking four Oscars and a record-breaking 16 nominations. Michael B. Jordan won Best Actor for playing both twins, Smoke and Stack. The movie also won Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography and Best Original Score.

The cinematography and soundtrack were good, the acting ok, but that’s where it stops for me. It tried to deal with historical trauma and the issue of racism in the south, including the KKK.

They could have made a movie out of that without the vampires.

Why were there vampires?

I do not recommend.
