It isn\u2019t just the gore in Sinners that has got people talking (Picture: PA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

*Warning: Spoilers for Sinners below<\/em><\/p>\n

Ryan Coogler\u2019s horror debut<\/a> has proved a smash hit with fans for more reasons than one.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Featuring not just one, but two Michael B Jordans <\/a>as the Black Panther actor takes on twin roles Smoke and Stack, Sinners<\/a> has received rave reviews<\/a> and landed an impressive 98% Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> rating.<\/p>\n

The action-packed, blood-soaked flick<\/a> follows the duo as they set up their own blues bar in their hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi, enlisting loved ones far and wide to help get the \u2018juke joint\u2019 up and running the very day they arrive back in town.<\/p>\n

Offering food, drinks, and live music, the party is well and truly popping just a short while after opening, but the night soon devolves into chaos when a group of strangers turn up and attempt to gain entry.<\/p>\n

As the film\u2019s trailers suggest, these seemingly well-meaning travelling musicians are, in fact, vampires<\/a>, and they begin massacring the patrons of the bar one by one in a bid to build their clan.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a bloody, balls-to-the-wall horror-action hybrid with the best soundtrack of the year so far, but it isn\u2019t the gore and violence<\/a> that have been shocking audiences.<\/p>\n

It works as an allegory for white people\u2019s oppression of Black people\u2019s freedoms and culture, and the characters\u2019 finding against this and not only fighting an undead menace, they\u2019re fighting the looming presence of racism in the Deep South.<\/p>\n<p>But despite this looming threat, we also see a strong Black community, loving households, joy, and sex, highlighting the strength that comes in the face of adversity, offering a glimmer of hope in so much darkness. Horror has often been criticised for solely having Black characters suffer and then die, whereas Sinners turns this trope completely on its head.<\/p>\n<p>The inclusion of its sex scenes helps to tackle the stigma around sexuality and the frightening rise of ignorance around sex on screen, as well as acting as an important part of the characters\u2019 backstory and the creation of multi-dimensional, complex people to make those same horrors feel all the more threatening.<\/p>\n<p>Following in the footsteps of <a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2025\/01\/01\/terrifying-nosferatu-will-lurk-mind-days-watching-22274380\/\">Nosferatu<\/a> in January, it very much feels like the horny vampire film is back.
