SINNERS—A slow burn nightmare you can't look away from.

‎It's been some years back, and I no longer think about like I used to. But I still remembered how watching that movie made me feel. And then, I told younger me I'd never watch any type of movie like that. I gawk at people who say their favorite genre of movie is horror. I despise it. And I've struggled in the past, to try and see if I was just overreacting, maybe I'd eventually fall in love with it. That's what I kept telling myself, but seeing Sinners, brought back that feeling. And the funny thing is, it wasn't that scary so why's my heart racing!? I've seen vampire movies and a lot of them, and I loved the ones I love.

‎The freight I had aside, Sinners is an incredible movie. I'd gone halfway through before I figured it was a horror movie. I was at the music part, where spirits started gathering to dance along with, when I paused the movie a quickly browsed what genre of movie Sinners was. And I couldn't drop it cause I'd already gone halfway so I said the F word and just went along with it. I loved the cinematic vibe, the graphic, the music, and the characters.

‎Normally, horror movies are immediate. They tend to just throw stuff at it, and with your inability to make sense of what's going on, they jump scare you. And that's what ignite the horror. But Sinners was slow, inducing the terror bit by bit, making the hair on your skin stand and prying your eyes open. You want to see what happens next, but at the same time, you don't want to see what the hell is happening next.

‎Sinners is a psychological horror movie directed by Ryan Coogler. I revolves around twin brothers, Smoke and Stack who return to their hometown to open a juke joint, only to confront a lurking supernatural evil. They take their cousin, Preacher boy to help them for their opening night and to play music for the folks that'll come for the party. The twin brothers also manages to gather up other friends to help with the opening night. Now, the opening nights here. Everyone's having fun, Preacher boy's singing is setting the mood. He's an excellent musician. But way to good that he draws spirits in, and unfortunately he draws a terrible terrible one. A vampire. Everything goes downhill from here, becomes really bloody and nasty. But it ended in...joy?

‎If you're not irked about horror movies and you haven't seen Sinners then this is definitely for you. The acting was marvelous, every thing asides the part where things get scary was really good and very creative. It definitely deserves to be one of the top movies this year.
