About Sinners

Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again—only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back. In his first self-described wholly original feature film, Ryan Coogler mingles folklore, spirituality, music, and history to create a vampire film so drenched in symbolism, you definitely need to see it again ... and again ... and again. Written and directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Coogler, Sinners stars Michael B. Jordan in a dual role, joined by Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Benson Miller, and Delroy Lindo.

"Needs no more than a one-word review: stunning. Magical also works. So does unforgettable." — Thom Ernst, Original-Cin

"It’s both a wildly ambitious meditation on American history and a rip-roaring good time." — Dana Stevens, Slate

“As much arthouse as grindhouse, it’s a blood-drenched mix tape that shouldn’t work. But it does, thanks to Coogler’s muscular direction, a terrific cast, enveloping IMAX visuals, body-quaking sound and music that stirs the soul while setting the pulse racing.” — David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
