Marvel director’s latest movie called the ‘most intense’ supernatural thriller in years
A new film from one of Hollywood’s most celebrated directors has been called one of the best new blockbusters of 2025
Don’t miss out on seeing one of the best films of the year - and one of the best horror movies of the 2020s - in theaters now.
This unique and thrilling supernatural epic comes from the imagination of the director of one of the best superhero films of the 21st Century.
Starring Michael B Jordan teaming up once again with Black Panther and Creed filmmaker Ryan Coogler, Sinners is an unforgettable big screen experience.
Jordan leads the thriller in a dual role as gangster twins Smoke and Stack, who return to their hometown in the Jim Crow South to make amends before a sinister evil arrives.
Also starring Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O'Connell, Delroy Lindo and Wunmi Mosaku, plus introducing Miles Caton, this suspenseful and musical horror masterpiece is guaranteed to keep you glued to your seat.
It also currently has an impressive 99 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, indicating overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics.
Empire gave the film four stars, writing: “It's a lot to chew on – literally, in the end – and some characters feel underserved by the time we reach the final rush of blood, teeth and fire. Then again, such a wildly original, defiantly weird and gorgeously made film can hardly be expected to follow a rulebook.
“An idiosyncratic, thematically dense twist on the vampire myth that’s oddly paced but beautifully played. One to sink your teeth into.”
Screen Rant was even more positive in their write-up, calling Sinners “exquisite” and “already one of the best films of the year”.
They went so far as to add “the fact that writer-director Ryan Coogler’s Sinners exists feels like a miracle in this era of Hollywood. That it is so astonishingly good and thematically layered gives me hope for the future of filmmaking.
“Ultimately, Coogler’s latest is already one of my favorite films of the year and should be counted among the best of 2025,” they added.
“I was taken to another place watching Sinners, and I have no doubt audiences will walk away having been moved and simultaneously entertained by this gripping, multifaceted story that deserves to be seen on the biggest screen possible and, ideally, more than once.”
Early responses on Letterboxd are also showering Coogler’s film with rave reviews, with one ecstatic user writing: “It is simple enough to say a movie is suspenseful, but how do you quantify how suspenseful it is? Here is one way.
“Ryan Coogler’s new film Sinners generates so much suspense — and then sustains it for so long — that at one particularly anxious point I heard a small snap from my seat.
“I looked down and realized I had tensed up and squeezed my notebook so hard that I cracked its back cover. So yeah, Sinners is pretty intense.”
And a final fan gushed: “This is a film that will remind you WHY YOU LOVE MOVIES!!
“Sinners is an unforgettable cinematic odyssey, an experience that demands to be felt on the big screen. Mesmerizing, intense, and electrifying, this is Ryan Coogler’s true masterpiece. One of the decade’s finest, and a film that will leave you absolutely speechless.
“I’m f***ing blown away and as much as I Love what Coogler has done with the MCU I hope he continues to just make original films. A shot of adrenaline for filmmaking.”
Sinners is in theaters now.
