Vampire Revival in Mississippi
Vampires stalk the Jim Crow South in Ryan Coogler's "Sinners," a fresh take on bloodsucking mythology that blends horror, history, and blues into a compelling narrative about family bonds and ancient evil.
When twin brothers Smoke and Stack (both played masterfully by Michael B. Jordan) return to their Mississippi hometown after robbing Al Capone, they discover a supernatural threat waiting to welcome them back. Their contrasting worldviews – Stack trusts only in money and weapons while Smoke carries hex bags for protection – create a fascinating dynamic as they confront the vampire Remick and his growing coven.
Coogler crafts a vampire mythology that draws from classics like "30 Days of Night" and "From Dusk Till Dawn" while adding his own distinctive touches. His vampires share a hive mind, absorb memories through blood consumption, and have distinctive glowing red eyes that signal their hunger. The film also introduces intriguing cultural elements, including Choctaw Native Americans as vampire hunters who understand how to combat the supernatural threat.
The story weaves subtle commentary on oppression through its antagonist – Remick speaks of his Irish people being colonized by Catholics while ironically enslaving others through vampirism. This contradiction, along with racial tensions of the era shown through Klan members unknowingly sheltering a monster, adds depth to what could have been a straightforward horror tale.
Though not without flaws in its vampire rules and plot consistency, "Sinners" succeeds as an entertaining horror experience worthy of its 3.5-star rating. It demonstrates Coogler's versatility beyond superhero films and his understanding of horror conventions while finding fresh angles on familiar tropes.

Hey everyone. Welcome back to Second Emulation, the show where we deep dive into the latest movies and see what's worth your time. I'm Shawn your host, and today we're talking about Sinners, the new horror that just dropped in theaters on April 18th, 2025. If you're a fan of the Horror of Venture, then this might be on your radar.
Stick around as I break it down, share my thoughts and see what other movie lovers on letterbox are saying about it. All right, let's get into it. For those who haven't seen it yet, sinners follows a synopsis as trying to leave their troubled lives behind Twin Brothers return to Mississippi hometown. To start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.
It stars Michael B. Jordan. Lee j Lee Wmi, Moku Omar, Benson Miller and Haley Steinfeld, directed by Ryan Coogler. So let's get into it. This is a film that I was very much looking forward to seeing just based on, TikTok videos before they were even promoting the movie, but just seeing something that Ryan Coler was doing, like what was his next project after Wakanda forever.
And hearing that. He was teaming up with Michael B. Jordan on this special project, which was vampires. My first impressions of the film were, very interesting because it. Is it doesn't have the trope or the iconic moment that you would think. Now again, vampire movies are a dime a dozen, and Ryan Coler did say that he was pulling inspiration from, the vampire movies that came before. So we were gonna see, some inspiration from Dental Dusk, a little bit of interview with the Vampire and so forth. Maybe I, what we're also gonna see is a little bit of what I would assume be let the right one in because, and maybe Drac as well. I'm not sure how many films that he would take and be inspired by in order to take this.
But I feel like if. If there's any indication, I think those films that I mentioned really di and maybe even Fright Fest, not the remake, but their original I feel like that kind of would, be what he's pulling from. Because there's multiple different vampire movies, but the iconic ones are those, I'm not saying, he pulled from Twilight.
We're not, I don't think Twilight is even involved in, this conversation. But I felt like if anything, given the rich lore from, the movie vampires and even from books, I feel like there's a lot of material. For Ryan Kler to work with. Now, what impressed me more was just like the flow of the film.
A lot of, there is that, that deep draw in, especially with any type of vampire movie. You normally are not gonna see the vampire early on in the film, but it is going to be, within the first. 20, 25 minutes or maybe even 30 minutes into the film where the film for sinners starts, where we're establishing the baseline for these characters like Smoke It Stacked.
You're really understanding their mindset that they're coming back after they've robbed Capone. And one's, a military soldier, and the other one is very supernatural driven and understand superstition. What I also thought was interesting though, is that the colors that represent smoke and stack, which is red and blue, is very synopsis with the matrix as when Mobius does provide the choice.
To Neo telling him or Mr. Anderson telling him, if he takes one, one pill over the other, he could choose to remain in this fabricated lie that we know as reality where things will just remain the same. He will just go on his life living it as normal and then. Dying. Or he could take the other pill and then the world that he knows would shatter and he would get to actually peek behind the curtain of what the world really is and everything, that he has bear witness is a facade.
And I felt like that stood very true between the brothers, as each one was, deep rooted in their belief. One was very realistic. He was like the soldier, I think it was stack where he believed, he could only believe things like money. Like money was very tangible for him.
Weapons were very tangible for him. He was very straightforward. He couldn't care less for things that were, outside this box. And that's what motivated him. He was like, this is the reality. This is how the world works. And he's even demonstrated how the world works, that he understands that money is power.
And so when they're, him and his brother are looking to, create their club or the Duke joint, he's assembling the thing that they need and understands money is the, the. The, I don't wanna say the lifestream, but the essential, blood of, necessity for every person.
And it's even more evident, when we see someone trying to rob his car that he shoots both of them. And then he pays to get 'em fixed up. Knowing that, or knowing what him and his brother are is very, what's the word I was gonna say, synopsis. But it's very evident in their actions.
Whereas smoke, carries a a hex bag. With with him as a charm to ward off against supernatural things and to protect him similar to a a hex bag in Supernatural where it's a charm to prevent, you prevent negative things from happening to him, and you would think that someone, with, at his age wouldn't believe any superstitions, but he still does, and he has that, that he wears it all the time. Even his brother, doesn't cause attention to it a few times, but doesn't, make it like pretty evident oh, this is my brother. He's very weak. He does this. No, they both are very different.
And you can see that comparison between the two with even as far as how far you get into the film, that I was still impressed. By how they were still character crafting and lower crafting and narrative crafting of the story they were putting in all the pieces. It didn't seem like it was forced for this buildup to eventually get to the climax of this film.
And I thought that was very impressive. It's this very the same type of work that Ryan Coler did in Wakanda forever. We got that buildup to, seeing no more on screen and just how he was presented was like this creature here, we get that same buildup, like you're anticipating the vampires to show up.
You just don't know when.
Now we're gonna talk about what worked, and I think what worked is that, what had a lot going for this movie is that. Everyone loves a vampire movie. And the lure itself of just vampires, there's so much, there's so many different variations to pick from that. Ryan Coler really, he didn't have to do much, in order to create his own vampire in this film.
There was a lot he may have done, to put a little twist on it. But it was something that, we didn't have didn't see before. And I think that's what worked. Like he wasn't recreating the wheel here, so he had a lot, different variations where he can pull and add to.
And I thought that was very interesting for this, because the vampire, once we did see him, he looked, he didn't look menacing. The character known as Remic did not look menacing when he was first introduced. He, it was the quite opposite. And I think what worked was that we saw vulnerability. Something, that we have noticed from different vampire films was.
Vulnerability and humanity. And I think this is a direct correlation with Dracula, like we're seeing, this human, we know he's a monster, but we're seeing this vulnerability. And I think, also what worked is that we saw the Choctaw Native Americans in the film were chasing Remic.
This creature. And they, he seemed fully afraid for someone who was, in the entire film was given like this supernatural monster with all his abilities. He was afraid of the choc Native Americans. And I think as a result of that, when they were introduced. I like the idea of a of the Choctaw vampire hunters and I loosely wanna say, label them as vampire hunters.
I just think just hunters in general for that, because if something as a vampire. Is afraid of, this, the choc to nation and what, what connections they have. Then that says a lot and I think, that was very interesting to see because there's this understanding that, you know, the.
The based on the chota or just the Native Americans or indigenous people that we have today, but they're very rooted in supernatural rooted. Traditions of the land and spirit, and they're very connected to the earth in all things. From the animals that they, they kill to the land that they harvest.
Like everything, they're very in tuned with that. With Mother Nature on a spiritual level as well, and understanding that this creature or remic is an abomination to what they are and the people around, that was like very key. And I think what worked in this is that we get a little bit of the undertones.
Of, racism here. Because the film is set in Mississippi during the Jim Crow era, post Jim Crow era. We do get those subtle hints that, RAIC is taking shelter and the people who are offering shelter are clans members. What I thought was very, that worked very well. Is that the moment?
The Chota Indians went to try to help this couple realized, this, they are bad people decided, you know what, we gotta go and left them to their own device. Left them to suffer their fate, even though they helped, they didn't want their help. And they just, they left.
And as a result, they, are doomed to their fate because they don't, they can't recognize the evil, something that's more evil than them. And by time, they do recognize it. It's over for them now, what I felt like what worked, and there was a lot of, in my opinion. Lots of inspiration.
I felt for Ryan Kler, his vampires. He was pulling a lot of inspiration from other vampires to create his own. The eyes that glow red are very synopsis, are very an identifier from the vampires in 30 days of night where they have that shark. The gray, white shark type of eyes where, they smell blood and then it just focuses where it's pitch black.
That is very One thing I also, pulled from it, is that the, his vampires are pulling, what he created is like a mix of different vampires through film and media. So the Red Eyes that Glow at night is, I believe, something from Fright Fest. It could have been from the earlier or the remake or 30 days of night.
The vampire teeth also are from, I wanna say a mix between 30 days a Night and Fright Fest. The new film. Afraid first. And The Hive mine is something new. I won't say it's something new. It is, you know something. The focus on, because there's always been like a hive mine collective.
Within vampire lore, especially with different vampire films, there's always the master, and whenever he sis vampires, it's, there are, they're attached to him or they. They essentially do his bidding, like they're connected to him. Another key aspect is memory shared memories.
I thought that was pretty uniquely done in the film, which I thought was a good, what worked, but it wasn't something that was new. That's also. Very much displayed in, underworld or other vampire films where they can consume blood and retain or pull your memories and knowledge I.
From the individual. So I thought that was kindly, nice to see that because it's been very subtly done in other vampire films. And so see it on full display, like it being the focal point. That and the high mind collective being the focal point of this vampire which is known as Remic, kind of neatly done. And I thought it was a very interesting take. And the interesting part is like seeing, the vampires have saliva, you with, that was something new because it indicated that they were still alive, which they are. It's hard to really say because in different area variations of, vampires being presented in media, they're either, dead or undead or they're living like in twilight or there's some kind of parasite or disease in the A show, the strain. And so every iteration of the vampire takes on a different, a mythological or biological type of, entity. And it very, it gets very skewed. So this one. Seeing that they had saliva was interested. Interesting. Not sure what was the purpose of it?
Just to say oh, he's hungry, or he needs blood. I. And, or it's like a good indicator, if someone really, the vampire really wanted to bite them which was, something. Something was interesting. I didn't, it was, I thought, felt that it worked, but we only got to see it twice.
One when Remic did it, and the second when Haley Fels character when she turns I'll do it. And it was never really done again in the film, just only those two times. Now I'm gonna talk about what didn't work. That said, there were a few things that didn't quite land for me, and here are some of the examples.
One being, remic actually being in the sunlight, being hunted down by vampires, him burning, and then, when we get to the, his ultimate demise, we see him like taking that long and just burning into flames. So the, I wasn't sure what was really going on and someone had to tell him like maybe they had him in a location and he jumped out.
At the beginning when we are introduced to Rex's character being chased by a chota, it looks like he's flying and there's no cover. It's like the skies are clear and the vehicle that the choc ha, the Chota Indians have, it's like an open, a flatbed truck with some railings. There's no cover.
So that was confusing because he was burning alive. Or having burns on him. And he, it was in the daylight. And that was like one of the inconsistencies that didn't sit well, was when I was confused. Because if that's the case, he could have just burned, went up in flames as he did at the end of the film.
Another thing that I feel like that didn't work is Renick's motive throughout the entire film, he, when, smoke and stack and the audience in attendance for the juke joint, REMIC comes off as like he is just. Here to play music and he wants to pay them when he has an alternative motive.
But when he does reveal his motive that he wants Sammy, who, has a very unique voice very powerful voice, and he wants him to be part of his his covenant. Part of his group so that he can use him to call, other vampires. And what kind of threw me off about this, I'm like if he's a vampire, aren't there other vampires around in the world?
And why would he need the voice of one person to chant them and bring them here? Which didn't really make any sense. Part of it because that kind of thing like his motivation didn't make sense. Like he's just here to steal this kid and use him to bring other people back, bring his people back, which, or bring vampires back to his location when he could have just went and sought them out himself.
So his motives were wonky. Not to mention what also didn't work. There was this, there was another story here. So Sammy is he's a, made up character for the film, but he's pulled directly from the storyline of the man who went to the crossroads and sold his soul and became the awesome as blues player ever.
And so they work that in there. And, but they gave it more of a supernatural that when he played music, it transcend, the timeline. And it was connecting to people who played music that could, he could hear them all the way to the future and back. And, we were seeing a lot of, their rendition of music from his time to all the way to, modern day. I believe I mentioned three things. The fourth thing would be, when, Rik talks about how his people were oppressed, or him being Irish and his people were oppressed. And then they were colonized by the Catholics. He's doing the exact same thing, like he's oppressing people and provide pro.
Putting his own culture on them or his ID ideals, they, the individuals he turns into vampires have no say in what the matter of what happens unless they're broken free from the bond of the one that created them, and he's essentially oppressing them. It. He's enslaving them to do his will. Even though they do have a mind of their own, they're still bound to him.
And it didn't really make any sense. Here are a group of, he's turning people into vampires so he can get and take the kid. Which didn't make any sense because by the time, you see his coven grow with a group of people, he could have just taken out on the town, went out on the town.
Kill more people and just left. And so he didn't really need to be there. And I feel like that part of the story did not work because if a vampire as powerful or strong as he was then there was no need. He could have taken these people back at any t like taken his group back and left. The fifth thing, I feel like what also didn't work is being turned into vampires because it was like simply just a bite.
And if that was the case, only you know, the master. Or the one could turn people into vampires. And what it would entail is that he would have to bite them and then make them drink his blood. And so this was just, I wanna say it lost his, it lost the magic because once we saw, just like anyone who was a vampire part of his covenant, just bit anyone you know there they would just turn into a vampire.
I. It was like you're just passing on the disease onto the next person. So you can't feed because every time you feed, you're inadvertently turning them into a vampire. And so that also didn't work or, I feel didn't work for the film because. Eventually, it wasn't just Remic who could turn pe people into vampires Haley Steinfels character turned stack into a vampire or smoke.
They're played by the same actor, Malcolm b Jordan. But we saw evident there and then we even saw evident of cornbread, binding someone and turning them into a vampire. So I felt like that. Didn't work because it lost the mystery. It lost a lore of vampire, like lost the, what the lore of vampire is, but also felt like it pulled, I forgot to say this earlier.
It pulled from like blade two with their reaper vampires. That's what I felt like Remic was that he was very like. I wanna say, carbon copy, but he seemed like he was pulled from Blade two. Essentially, if you watch Blade two, you're gonna see, I. I won't say very similar similarities in Likeor.
The host becoming a vampire, him biting people, his vampires have that hive mind where they listen to him. And then the, he's just wanting to belong or wanting to get approval from like the father. But I felt like. Under, underneath all that layer, like the blueprint for Ram is there in Blade two, vamp, as a vampire.
And the six for me, the number six would be they didn't have any supernatural abilities for that. Like they were, could buy people, but they weren't shown to have, the. The super human strength that we known vampires that have, they're all the vampire films. It's once they were bitten, they were just, human but like rabies almost.
So it didn't like, it didn't work with the sun. Like once you saw. Them being turned and you're thinking, okay, cool. Everyone's gonna have this supernatural type thing. Ability. It just, the facade of the vampire and what you're trying to see or what Frank Hooker was doing just goes away and I was in the theater like, oh, okay, that's it.
I was expecting more from a vampire type movie. Seeing something, that was different or. Not very different, but a new take. And this kind of just reminded me of 30 days of night of how the vampires there were just, could be easily killed. And the premise is almost exactly that.
It's across what I believe. Some say that, he pulled. From dusk until dawn. I believe what we're seeing here in this, the second actor, like the middle, towards the end of the film, we're seeing like a, pulled inspiration from the raid. Dusk can tell Dawn and maybe even fright Night.
And the reason why I say those films, because you're locked, they're locked in and they're having to survive until the day. And, they're fighting off vampires and they're trying to get out and. Even, something similar with the raid is that you're locked in this building. You're trying to get out, like that type of plot is in there and you just, you forget that these are vampires because.
The seventh thing is that, once they tell, you find out like like through, ic, you see a few people get bit in, someone in, who has this supernatural connection says that these are vampires, but says it in a way like, oh, when the person's bid in their soul doesn't passed on, their soul is stuck there.
And I'm like, that doesn't make any sense. They're trying to explain, especially what the vampire is in their own take, which I get it. But like that wording, that kind of description didn't really make any sense and. As a result, when she gives, like the breakdown of, the vampires are, garlic, if you eat garlic, it'll defend you.
They don't like garlic and then, a wooden steak through the heart will kill them and even holy water. So like these, I wouldn't say iconic. Not iconic trope type. Lore items were very evident, but when they practically used them, we were, you could also see that they used guns to slow 'em down and then stake 'em in the heart.
One thing we didn't see is that we saw these people, these vampires bleed. We didn't see that iconic oh, they're gonna burn. And through the stake, once they got like the stake through the heart, it was like. Almost human-like. So that's where the part, for me, the magic of this film goes away because, you provide a supernatural layer, but then you know, you also make it human.
And so they weren't, it didn't feel like they were killing vampires. They were killing just regular people in a sense. And eight. I know I've been giving a long list of what didn't work, but like I have to be very critical of this film. I enjoy it as a vampire movie. If I don't, I turn my brain off and just, watch it with enjoyment.
But when you start looking at the deeper layers of the film, there's a lot of things that just don't make sense and I feel like don't work. And one of also. For my eighth would have to be remic himself as a vampire. I don't think, and this could be me overreaching, but if he is a vampire of that old and we've understand him, to be able to pull knowledge and memories from people that he bites or could be killed, it's safe to say that he might not eat.
Not mine may not it's safe to say that he may not be Irish himself, that he could just be a vampire who at the time, was during that area of Catholics, colonizing, Ireland and the people of the Irish people. And he happened to be a vampire that resided in that area and then fed on, irish people and Catholic people alike because he did have gold and I might not be too far reaching because. At the end of the film when Remic does die, we do see his actual true form and that is not very reminisce. It has a pool of we're seeing, the demonic fright night and tight vampire with a little bit of a from done to dos aspect in it.
And we see like when he's in the sunlight. Him taking very long to dies, very a very theatrical, and I'm, you wonder, I'm like why did that, that did not happen in the beginning of the movie because he was out in the sunlight. Did he have to be staked? So that was one thing, that didn't work.
I feel like it didn't work. Was that, REMIC as a character as a whole, he on the surface level. Written perfectly, but when you dive into it, there was just lots of plot holes and it just didn't make sense that that like he's this all powerful thing. Vampire and that he's just, caught up in wanting to bring his people back and connect them, provide community.
I'm like, if he was a vampire, he wouldn't give any, he wouldn't care about any of that shit. Like he's lived too long to care and he so detached from. The world, he just wants destruction and he wouldn't just be biting people willy-nilly 'cause he himself doesn't want vampires roaming around. So that I was, I considered my eighth would be, just the character and the core of ram.
It didn't really make sense when you look at it a deeper level because it contradicts. Him as a vampire, just like I'm here to bring us all together, which kind of was offputting. The other part was like he tells, Remick tells stack that the clan member, the person who sold him the property, was gonna come back in the morning and kill everyone.
So technically that's why he was trying to save the wick, was trying to save them by turning 'em into vampires. It didn't make sense. There was also, there was other stories. My number nine is that there were different plots happening in this movie that didn't make sense. They were trying to add, it was well written, but if you look at it from like a vampire type movie and you notice the different plots, like if you can see those threads.
It didn't make sense. And lots of people are, raving, providing praise for me, which I will provide praise. This movie did very well. It's a very well written vampire movie, and that is, it. It can't be anything more than a vampire movie. Ryan Coler did a good opportunity of, adding his, a new twist to the vampire lore.
And the stake, it was, that was it. There's nothing special beyond that. Yeah, there's some undertones that there was trying to provide a lot of symbolism in the film, which I'll say is my number nine, is that it's a lot of symbolism. Which it because of, it being in the south and Mississippi, they were trying to not like abruptly put this is during a time of racism.
This is also a melting pot of different cultures. We had, the blacks, people in the, in the south. Then we also had Chinese people also there in the south. Which I felt like was, something that I did not know at the time for history, but it was good to see. But it felt like, why I felt like I believe it didn't work.
Was that you, the film was trying to do too much and I felt like that. Had a lot of, things within the story to just fall to the wayside. There was no payout, there was different storylines, but they didn't really go in, into either direction. And maybe that's, a reason for why I, to build more lore, maybe like a sinners universe or some people are like saying.
10 for me would be, I was trying to look this movie up on Google and what I ended up finding out was that there were multiple films with this title and the film itself is sinners. Maybe that was like a different thing. I, but I felt like he could have used, he could have utilized a different name for the movie because when I was trying to look this movie up, there was like 10 different films, or 11 plus that had them title sinners on it.
And it confused me because I'm like, wait, I thought this was an original ip. It's the name is not original. He could, I think if they would've used a different name, I think that would've set the tone because sinner, is a buly a term that you want to use for people who've done bad things and.
It. You don't see that a lot, like people doing bad things for the right reasons. I don't know. I think one story plot, in this film was an Al Capone. He was mentioned briefly, in the film that Smoke and Stack robbed Al Capone and which is why they weren't going back to Chicago.
And so I was like, you just throw that out there. That's why they're not in Chica. That's why Chicago didn't work out for them, and that's why they're here back in their hometown. Yeah, I know I'm giving a lot. I feel like I'm ragging on the film, but I'm just pointing out things that I felt, when I watched it with, my family members, I was, it was an entertaining film, but having to look back and just recall what I watched, there was a lot of good things in the film that I didn't see before, that were utilized.
Ver done very well, but also there were things that just didn't work. Again. Ryan Geller didn't have to invent the wheel, but he did incorporate different elements to make his this vampire movie. And again, some succeeded and some didn't. And I felt like with this film, when you're trying to just do a simple vampire movie, it's.
Always best not to put too much of different story plots together. I feel like if he would've just focused on just the vampire aspect, it would've been fine. But because he was trying to overload it with different, narratives and symbolisms and trying to do everything, for the film, it felt lost on me.
I felt like it didn't work and some people might disagree and that's, that is great. We are allowed to disagree on opinion for the film, and I felt like. For a good crack at, a vampire movie, seeing him, doing this. I would love to see him do a Blade movie. If he had the opportunity to do Blade, I would love to see him do it because like he understands, the vampire lore a bit and inspiration that.
I feel like it would be in good hands. An original IP for him, he needs to rein it in a bit. Not saying that's bad, just saying I felt like there was a lot of stuff he wanted to put. And if, the movie does get a, a sequel, which I'm not sure if it would, he, he left a lot of breadcrumbs that he could go back to in later films.
I. Now my overall rating for this new film centers is I would give it a 3.5 star rating. It's not perfect but it's definitely worth the watch if you like the Horror of Vampire movie with action, 'cause. This is not something new. This type of, elements of vampires has, ha in film have been done before, but it's a new take in a new direction.
I feel like this is a very good entertaining film to watch and I would recommend, if you haven't seen it, go watch it. It is very entertaining and you'll enjoy it. Now let's see what other movie lovers are saying about sinners. I pulled a few reviews from letterbox to get a sense of how the community is reacting.
I'll read a few and share their ratings and let you know if they, what their thoughts on the film. Alright, let's get into it. Our first user, Shan Dude, says a little Irish dance in the dark. Oh, yes. They gave it four. Point five stars on letterbox. Now I did, recognize that was something that was unique in the film.
We're gonna go on to our second review from User Cosmos. They wrote The Great Nation of Iron Giveth and it taketh away. Related 4.5. And then our third and final review from user from Letterbox is gonna be Kai. He said No to self, never invite a white girl in. He also gave it 4.5. Now I'm wondering, what you're saying is that, these users did rate the film, pretty high, almost five stars, which is good.
I gave it. A 3.5. It seems like the, rating and, thoughts of the film are very positive, not negative. There might be some mix. It seems like a lot of people are pulling just like certain aspects from the film and praising it, which is good. And some people are very critical.
I, myself, what do you think? Let me know in the comments. Or on our social media accounts Overall, sinner is a good movie. Again, 3.5, and if you're a fan of the Thriller Music Horror, you'll probably enjoy this one. And I want to thank everyone for tuning into this episode of Second Ation.
