Sinners (2025)

My favorite part of this movie was the earplugs I had to bring to the theatre so the sound was tolerable. MY GOD movie theatres need to turn it down.
According to Vicki, the projection was also slightly out of focus, so I guess every movie theatre in Buenos Aires is fucked and dead.

BUT beyond the terribleness of movie theatres, this movie was fucking incredible.

It's about two twins who open a bar in the rural south of the United States in the 1930s, and their little cousin, who plays the guitar and sings blues so well that he attracts vampires to the place (also time travelling ghosts, but those are harmless).

And these are capital V Vampires. They need to be invited to come in, they're subservient to their head vampire, and the ones who are turned still have their memories but lose their humanity and change fundamentally. Vampirism is a sad thing...

There's also plenty of sex, mostly in the first half of the movie. I quite like that, I think it's pretty human! These people are horny as hell.

The music is also incredible! Fuck, the vampires sing completely different music than all the others, there's obviously a lotta blues... fucking good. Would've loved to listen without earplugs, but that's movie theatres for me.

People claim it's best seen in theatres... I disagree. You can have a perfectly good movie-watching experience if you just watch it on a TV with good sound and don't look at your phone. The size of the screen is not worth going deaf and staying on a dogshit seat unable to go to the bathroom, move, or talk.

Fantastic stuff, I really liked this!
