A new movie by director Ryan Coogler has premiered in German cinemas. Already, the film is receiving very good ratings and is also impressing a content creator on YouTube.
Which movie is it about? We are talking about Blood & Sinners, which is simply called Sinners in the original English. It is the new film by Ryan Coogler, who has drawn attention in recent years with Creed or Black Panther.
In Blood & Sinners, he collaborates once again with actor Michael B. Jordan. In the film, he even plays a double role. He portrays the twin brothers Smoke and Stack.
The story takes place over just one day and night in Mississippi in 1932. The two brothers open a bar where blues music is mainly played. While everything goes about its usual course, their day-to-day life is soon disrupted by a serious threat: vampires.
However, Blood & Sinners has little to do with the vampire abilities from Twilight. It is a film with horror elements, but it also highlights music. This mix has been very well received by critics so far. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film currently stands at 98%, and the audience gives it a rating of 97%.
A well-known YouTuber also joins in the praise.
Intense battles and great characters
Which YouTuber is it about? The content creator penguinz0 talked about the film in a new video on YouTube and shared his opinion with the community.
He praises Blood & Sinners and calls it the best film he has seen so far this year. The following points are especially highlighted by penguinz0:
- The characters are very well written and quickly grow close to the audience’s heart.
- For this reason, one fears for their fate and empathizes with them.
- The actors surrounding lead Michael B. Jordan are fantastic.
- The handling of the vampire theme is very smart.
- The scary scenes create a lot of tension.
- The fight scenes are bloody and intense.
However, the YouTuber still has some criticisms:
- Although music plays an important role and embodies the “good,” it is not really used in the fight against the vampires at the end. Instead, conventional weapons are used.
- The marketing and trailers could mislead genre fans: Blood & Sinners is not a pure horror film, but only contains elements of the genre.
Whether Blood & Sinners is the best vampire movie of all time, as some claim, penguinz0 does not want to answer. In any case, it is one of the best of recent years.
