What is Sinners about?
The story of Sinners takes place in Mississippi in 1932, when twin brothers Smoke and Stack return to their hometown after living in Chicago for a while.
The two veterans of World War I are unhappy with life in the North. They decide to buy a sawmill from Hogwood, a racist landowner, with money they stole from gangsters. Their plan is to open a juke joint for black people in the area. They hope that this will give them a new start.
Along with Sammie, a skilled guitarist, and other musicians, they set out to make a lively space where the underprivileged can enjoy music and fun.
As soon as the juke joint opens, Sammie's playing of the guitar unintentionally summons supernatural forces. This catches the attention of a dangerous group of vampires led by the mysterious Remmick.
Remmick and his group have been hiding among the local Klan members. They want to use Sammie's magical musical skills. As the night goes on, the brothers and their new friends have to fight off the vampires, who are slowly turning the people in the bar into vampires.
During the chaos, the tension between Smoke and Stack grows. Their pasts and personal relationships make things more complicated, especially with Smoke's ex-wife Annie involved with the occult.
At the height of the battle, Smoke gives up his life to save Sammie and the others, which leads to a final showdown with the vampires. The movie is about racial conflict, sacrifice, and the power of music. It ends with a fight for survival against supernatural evil.
Sinners is running in theaters.
