‘Sinners’ review: Ryan Coogler’s vampire horror film sinks its teeth into Black music and Southern history

Seeing “Sinners” once is not enough. The first viewing engaged me foremost on a visceral level of survival in classic horror genre terms. But Coogler has so much more going on that I long to see it again to try to catch something I thought I heard or to investigate something I was unfamiliar with.

Coogler effortlessly has mastered a style that allows his films to pull you in as pure entertainment, but then he finds ways to resonate on a deeper thematic level. Not every piece of “Sinners” falls into perfect place, but Coogler is such a vivid and compelling storyteller that I was willing to take the ride and thrill at every turn. Now I want to go back and ponder what lies beneath the genre tale.
