Sinners (2025) - 5/10
This is basically what From Dusk Till Dawn would have been if you'd ordered it off Alibaba. It, like From Dusk Till Dawn, is basically a film in two parts, where the first part is all serious and setting the scene and the second part is, well, fucking vampires. Both films have fantastic lighting based in wooden shacks, and both contain numerous people of questionable morals and pits them up against a bunch of bloodsucking baddies. Neither do the shift from part one to part two subtly and that's sort of the point. More films should follow this arc. Imagine Andy fretting all that time in Shawshank prison, only so that when he eventually emerges, covered in shit, from that pipe, and with his hands to the sky, a fucking vampire jumps on his back and rips out his throat! Now you're talking! Or Gladiator whereby, instead of tigers coming out the ground to munch on Maximus, they instead released vampires! I'd watch that. Or imagine Ripley getting to LV-426 and she's greeted by a bunch of - actually, no; that can't be improved upon. The big-titted, cocoa-skinned elephant in the room, though, is that there's no Salma Hayek equivalent. Sinners has plenty of dancing and plenty of menace, but nothing quite as delightful as Hayek shimmying to the enchanting melody of After Dark. But really, has there ever been? I don't think so, so good on them for not even trying. There is one plot hole bigger than the Grand Canyon in this though, but when another plot point is vampires, you can't really question too much.
