I heard Sinners was a movie to watch, but it wasn't until I saw it yesterday that I fully understood. I kept what I knew about this movie as vague as I could before seeing it. Basically I knew it was set in the 1930's, and dealt with vampires.

While that is a component, there is so much more this film brings to the table. It discusses generational trauma, racism, classicism, culture expectations, mythology, artistic meaning...it does a lot, but the thing is, it does them all so well.

This is a film that answers every question, but still leaves you wanting more. The acting is phenomenal and the score is amazing. Best film of 2025? It's possible.

The story of Nosferatu isn't going to be original, especially if you are familiar with the lore/Bram Stoker's Dracula. What is original is the vision this film is retold in. It's a throw back to when films created atmosphere and you don't know what is going to happen.

The acting is top knotch and cinematography and score are peerless. Those looking for a fast food horror film will be disappointed, but if you want something with gothic substance and shadowy bleakness, this retelling is for you. Possibly my favorite version of a Wallachian Warlord turned Vampire.

The middle does drag a slight bit, which is why I gave it an 8, but it's a wonderful film made for those that crave more from their movies.
