Sinners (2025)

Intro *please be aware of this is a narrator voice, I couldn't find a couple clips to clone the voice, so this is what y'all earned* Sinners (2025), directed by Ryan Coogler, is a genre-defying Southern Gothic horror-musical set in 1932 Clarksdale, Mississippi. The film follows twin brothers Elijah “Smoke” and Elias “Stack” Moore (both portrayed by Michael B. Jordan), World War I veterans and former Chicago gangsters, who return to their hometown to open a juke joint for the local Black community. Their venture is disrupted by the arrival of Remmick, an Irish vampire (played by Jack O'Connell), who seeks to exploit the musical talents of their cousin Sammie (Miles Caton) to summon the spirits of his lost community. As supernatural forces and racial tensions collide, the brothers confront their past and the oppressive structures around them. The film's protagonists are Smoke and Stack Moore, with Sammie also playing a central role. Key entities include the juke joint, the local Black community, the Ku Klux Klan led by Hogwood, and the vampire Remmick and his thralls. Sinners explores themes of redemption, racial injustice, and the transformative power of music.
