Spoilers forward for "sinners".

2025 has not yet hit the Blockbuster or Oscar season, but Ryan Kogller's "sinners" already look like a movie of the year. It's a remarkable movie, and Reverse reviews Plus Excellent performance of box office List most would agree with me.

Set in the city of Mississippi Delta Clarksdale in 1932, "sinners" followed the black twins Elijah "Chad" and Elias "Stack" Moore (Michael B. Jordandan as well as both), who are known collectively and notorious as "twins of smok". After making a small fortune working for (and then robbing) gangsters in Chicago, the twins open their own Juk's wrist in an attempt to set aside a little piece of sky for the local black community. Their cousin playing guitar Sami (Miles Catton), the son of a pious preacher, helps draw in the crowd with his excessive music skills. But the night turns into hell when the spectacular shaking of itself catches the ear of Some wandering vampires, led by Remmik (Jackec O'Connell).

Remmik affects the South American accent, but he is actually an Irishman and allows his real brooch to slip several times - as the scene where he leads his new ceilings in the Rocky Road Choir to Dublin. As the "sinners" shows, Ku Klux Klan has surrounded the black people since the 1930s Mississippi. Would be an easy creative choice to make Those People on the movie's vampire villains - so why is Irish outsider instead of leader?

The modern vampire has Irish roots; Bram Stoker, author of "Dracula", was an Irishman. "Dracula" is widely interpreted as a story of fear of foreign invasion, and in the "sinners" that the attacker comes from the same country Stoker. Both Koggler and O'Connell also talked about their loveice towards Irish culture and music on the "sinners" tour. (O'Connell is English, but his father was from Ireland and learned traditionally Irish dancing as a child - the skills he gets to show in the film.)

"My understanding (is that Ireland's biggest export) is the people," he said O'Connell to GQ. "Just to understand the influence he had on the American South in this particular time and how it found himself in the music there was something I know is Ryan's savvy, and I think part of the reason for Remmik is from Ireland."

"I am obsessed with Irish folk music, my children are obsessed with, (s) my first name is Ireland," Koggler himself explained in Interview with IndiaWire. "I think it's not known how much a crossover there is between African -American culture and Irish culture and how much they want in our community."

Indeed, African Americans and Irish-Americans are communities that started at similar points, but took two different paths. "Sinners" distill those cut-off histories in a horror story.
