Incorporating a menacing vampire antagonist, he describes the film as a “must-see blockbuster” guaranteed to impress audiences.
IGN Movies’ Eric Goldman also expresses enthusiasm, stating, “Ryan Coogler enters the horror realm and nails it in Sinners, which drops vampires into a deeply personal, heartfelt, emotional, sexy, and bloody story that’ll stick with you.”
Critics across the board are praising Coogler’s directorial prowess. BJ Colangelo from Fangoria heralds Sinners as Coogler’s crowning achievement so far, indicating his potential for future success. Meanwhile, Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair describes the film as “propulsive and stirring entertainment,” recognizing its blend of genres as a uniquely American experience.
