Sinners: Redefining Horror
People think that horror movies need a haunted house, vengeful ghosts or jump scares around every corner. However, Sinners challenges this notion by using the blues and an Irish vampire with a dark history and a darker purpose.
The film is set in the Jim Crow-era and follows twins Smoke and Stack, both played by Micheal B. Jordan, as they return home to open a juke joint, only to find a vampiric evil awaiting.
The film opens with Sammie, played by Miles Caton, riding up to a church in bloodied clothes, clutching his broken guitar as he interrupts his father’s sermon.
Christianity is an extremely prevalent theme throughout the film, seen as a source of hope but also a repressing tool.
The church offers Sammie sanctuary, but also pushes him into a corner. Author's summary: Sinners redefines horror genre.
