Ryan Coogler’s gory and glorious ‘Sinners,’ a Southern vampire horror-musical is not merely a great movie but an eternal movie, one that will transcend today’s box office and tomorrow’s awards to live on as a forever favorite.
“Sinners” is set in 1932 Mississippi where a preacher’s teenage son, Sammie (Miles Caton), is risking his soul to sing with a guitar. His dad (Saul Williams) deems it a sin. “You keep dancing with the devil, one day he’s going to follow you home,” his father cautions a few minutes into the film. From the opening scene, a flash-forward to Sammie stumbling into church, bloody and half-catatonic, we already know he’s right.
