Sinners, the latest feature film from Black Panther director Ryan Coogler , is a different kind of vampire movie.

Set in 1932 , the story takes place over the longest 24 hours one might imagine in Clarksdale , Mississippi .

The film's undercurrent of supernatural horror comes out at full blast.

Some critics have said that the film's portrayal of Remmick , who is Irish , is a call for solidarity with Black people.

The vampires are shown goodwill in other ways as well, complicating some critics’ reading of the creatures as extensions of the racist white culture that wants to stop the party.
