We're still a couple of weeks away from the release of Final Destination Bloodlines on May 16, but an early screening of the film hosted by Fangoria has yielded some first reactions that are going to make fans of the horror franchise very happy. Featuring the late Tony Todd in one of his last roles, Bloodlines is the long-awaited sixth film in the series and tells the tale of a college student who experiences a recurring nightmare that foretells her family's demise, who then returns home to find the person who can prevent it.

With a number of critics taking to X to share their thoughts on Final Destination Bloodlines, it appears as if directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein have outdone themselves, and crafted what many are calling the best entry yet. "I've been waiting 14 years for a new Final Destination and Bloodlines was well worth the wait," said Bj Colangelo from Slashfilm,...

We're a week away from the premiere of Ryan Coogler's Sinners, and its newly unveiled Rotten Tomatoes' score points to the Michael B. Jordan vampire flick as being one that you should definitely buy a ticket to. Jordan stars in the period horror piece as brothers Smoke and Stack, two twins who are trying to leave their troubled lives behind. When they return to their hometown to start anew, they discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.

Debuting with a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, MovieWeb's own Julian Roman says in his review that Sinners "brilliantly illustrates Black life in the violent and poverty-stricken Jim Crow-segregated South while portraying a vibrant cultural landscape brimming with musical fellowship. Toss a ruthless vampire antagonist into the mix and the result is a must-see blockbuster that will blow audiences out of their chairs." Eric Goldman from IGN Movies adds:...

From Ryan Coogler, director of Black Panther and Creed, comes a new vision of fear: Sinners. Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (both played by Michael B. Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.

There's already been a lot of positive buzz surrounding the upcoming vampire movie, and the first social media reactions have just dropped (via FearHQ.com).

They're all overwhelmingly positive - which is what we've come to expect - but in place of the usual buzzwords are a lot of well-thought-out reviews and comments that point to Coogler's latest movie more than living up to expectations.

Coogler has an impeccable track record as a filmmaker, so this isn't a huge shock. The big test will be the reviews, as those can often differ greatly from early reactions like these.

Sinners, a genre picture and a period piece from frequent collaborators Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan – who have worked on Fruitvale Station, Creed, Black Panther, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever together as director and cast member, and have other collaborations that Coogler didn’t direct – is set up at Warner Bros., has a budget of around $90 million, and is scheduled for a theatrical release on April 18, 2025 (having moved back from a previously announced March release date). With just two weeks to go until the film reaches the big screen, the first reactions have started to drop online – and they are overwhelmingly positive, calling Sinners a gory, masterful banger.

Directed by Coogler with Jordan playing dual roles, Sinners has the following official synopsis: Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.

Ryan Coogler's "Sinners" will pit Michael B. Jordan against vampires, and early reactions have hailed the horror film (which had some real-world inspiration) as fang-tastic. In this one, the "Black Panther" star plays Smoke and Stack, a pair of twin brothers who return to their hometown to discover that it's overrun with blood-thirsty fiends, led by the vicious Remmick (Jack O'Connell). The movie is also a period piece, with the story set in the American South during the 1930s.

The town-being-tormented-by-bloodsuckers premise is reminiscent of all-time great vampire horror movies like "30 Days of Night," "Salem's Lot," and "The Lost Boys," but this is a Coogler joint, and that means it'll have its own distinct flavor. The director was also inspired by the films of Robert Rodriguez, John Carpenter, and the Coen Brothers, so viewers can look forward to a genre-hopping slice of action-packed scare fare.

Of course, mixing genres is tricky,...

“Sinners” is about to take a bite out of the spring film calendar in 2025.

Ryan Coogler’s ambitious big swing “Sinners” marks the “Black Panther” director’s first original project, out from under the weight of I.P., since his 2013 Sundance sensation “Fruitvale Station” put him on the map. The 38-year-old mega talent has had an impressive run directing both “Black Panther” movies along with the Rocky spinoff “Creed” (2015), while also producing that film’s two sequels — all major box office coups. But he wrote the Warner Bros. supernatural horror epic “Sinners,” out April 18, from his own idea, and first reactions are already praising a vision that welds classic vampire mythology to the metastasizing racism underlying the mid-century American South.

“Black Panther” and “Creed” star Michael B. Jordan plays dual roles as twin brothers Smoke and Stack, each representing their own side of a coin of good and corrupt. They...

The early reactions to Ryan Coogler’s new supernatural thriller “Sinners” are rolling in, and the consensus is that the vampire-laced movie has all the ingredients for a springtime hit. Michael B. Jordan plays twin brothers Smoke and Stack, who return to their hometown — only to be faced with an evil force.

Hailee Steinfeld, newcomer Miles Caton, Jack O’Connell and Wunmi Mosaku co-star in the period film set in the Jim Crow-era 1930s south.

Critics, attendees at the New York premiere and others who saw advance screenings of the new film from the “Black Panther” director are praising the project for being smart, sexy and spooky.

Slashfilm writer Bj Colangelo wrote on X, “Ryan Coogler has solidified his place as one of the greats (more than he already has) with #Sinners. As good as you think it’s going to be, it’s better. Scary, Sexy, and social commentary with a hell of a bite.

After garnering visceral reactions from the Sundance crowd in January, Kristen Stewart’s Love Lies Bleeding has opened to a whopping 91%, becoming her second highest-rated film in the Tomatometer. Announced back in 2022, the Twilight Star joined forces with Saint Maud director Rose Glass for her first collaboration with A24.

And while fans are thrilled by it, following Glass’ work on the acclaimed horror Saint Maud, her only feature film prior to this one, it’s reasonable to see why this might not be for everyone.

Reviews for Love Lies Bleeding Calls It a Wild Ride Not Made for Everyone

Being Rose Glass’s second collaboration with A24, Love Lies Bleeding has been deemed by viewers a pretty wild ride, which doesn’t hold back from being gruesome at times. Starring Kristen Stewart as a bored gym worker Lou, who falls for her bi-sexual bodybuilding drifter Jackie,...
