Ryan Koggler is one of the most exciting directors working today. He is a rare writer/director who actually managed to make the jump of making small independent films to tackle massive blockbuster franchises without losing his style. Quite the opposite, in an era where the Sundance Mila pipeline to pion in a superhero or a large franchise machine has everyone, but it destroyed the future of many once promising director, Koggler gave us not one, but two exciting properties managed by creative.

First, he revitalized the "rocky" franchise with the phenomenon "Creed", one of the best films of the century and tinted and exciting research of nature and nurturingwith boxing thrown in good measure. The approach to the continuation of Koggler's legacy worked wonders, starting a trilogy, allowing Sylvester Stallone to do his best work in the franchise and to make Michael B. Jordandan.

Next, Koggler went even bigger with the "Black Panther" and "Black Panther: Vakanda forever". Once again, even in the Marvel machine, Koggler made these films his own; His films "Black Panther" are about sadness, joy and community. Both films have also introduced massive worlds with their own cultures and societies, established side characters that have become favorites for fans and delivered just as big blockbuster moments as they did intimate, including emotional moments comparable to those of Kogler's celebrated film.

Leave it to the Corogler to watch two superhero films and boxing in the box not with a small indie -indi or another superhero blockbuster, but with Vampire tremors in the form of "sinners". Well, this is not just a vampire film; It is a vampire film in Ryan Koggler starring Michael B. Jordandan (playing two roles!), And according to the look of his trailers, we can expect a mood, atmospheric period, which brings something fresh on the genre. This also applies to Koggler's inspirations for the film, too, that are a little out of what you expect for vampire tremors.

During the press conference before the publication of The new trailer "sinners" (which you can see right here)Koggler talked about some of his inspirations while making the film. Surprisingly, instead of looking at some of the most influential vampire film ever made, such as "Nosferatu" or the 1931 film version of Dracula, or even some of the more subversive vampire movies there (like "Girl Goes Home Alone Night" or "What do we do in the shadows"), Koggler pulled out some pretty out of the titles outside the box.

"I drew so much (inspirations)," Koggler explained. "And it's a very genre film with a fluid." Among those named by the director were the Cohen brothers, especially "inside Levin Davis", "Fargo" and "No Land for Old People". Well, these make sense given the heinous, the western sense of the recordings of the trailer "sinners". But while Koggler also named Johnon Carpenter as an influence, he specifically (and unexpectedly) cited Robert Rodriguez as an even greater source of inspiration thanks to his film "Faculty", One of the best horror films of the 1990s. It's a great movie, I warn you, with an amazing actor and a result of a killer by Marko Beltrami, but it also makes sense that Kogler will take some signs from the "faculty", especially the way he portrays an ensemble of characters that are slowly coming. horror creatures.

Outside the Cinema Kincher, Koggler said he had also received many ideas from Steven King's novel "Salem a lot", which he confirmed was "massively influencing the film". According to the director, the fact is that the book "is about the city" that inspired it. He added that a great aspect of "sinners" is the community shown in the film, rather than a true vampire aspect of King's book.

"Sinners" opened in theaters on 18 April 2025.
