Ryan Coogler, known for directing films like “Creed” and “Black Panther,” is stepping into the supernatural realm with his debut horror film, *Sinners*. This period piece, set in early 20th-century Mississippi, blends blues, Hoodoo, and vampire themes. Telling a dark story about twin brothers who descend into vampirism after attending a lavish party, Coogler explores how music and power can turn lives to the dark side. Hoodoo expert Miss Annie warns of the dangers of musical seduction, while eerie moments reveal the twins’ transformation into fanged monsters.
Horrors are both classic stories and evolving art forms, as Coogler explains, evoking a timeless yet fresh experience. While vampires are central to *Sinners*, the film delves deeper into broader themes about power, identity, and the supernatural. Inspired by figures like Robert Rodriguez, John Carpenter, and Stephen King’s “Salem’s Lot,” Coogler’s research into blues legends and Hoodoo culture underpins the authenticity of this unique take on vampire lore.
With influences ranging from iconic films to personal history, *Sinners* offers a fresh perspective on horror, inviting audiences to explore its dark allure through Coogler’s lens.
