This was wild in the best way! It felt real and gritty but stylish, and get me that soundtrack!! The music was so much a part of the story. Super unique vibe, want to watch it again already.

Sinners (2025) - Full Reaction - Popcorn In Bed

Watch the full reaction to Sinners on Popcorn In Bed.

Comments

Rick Rodriguez

Loved the first half. Second half was more sloppy for me. 100 percent on the vitality of the music. Hope Delroy gets a nomination.

Stick Figure Studios

I really dug this movie. Ryan Coogler (who also wrote/directed CREED and BLACK PANTHER) is one of the finest "newer" filmmakers to arrive on the scene and he really knows how to bring out the best in Michael B. Jordan. (you should check out their first collaboration FRUITVALE STATION). I loved the cast, loved the performances, loved the historical setting, loved the period atmosphere, loved the clever combination of genres, loved the catchy songs (it was practically a musical... almost like a horror version of O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU), loved the themes/ideas and I loved how he kept changing the aspect ratio throughout. One of the best films of the year so far. So glad you watched it. Can't wait to see this reaction.

TheSingulatarian

You must have recorded this from the bottom of hole. Lots of echo.

TheSingulatarian

It was OK but I think the director spent a little too long establishing the setting. It was in the 1930s I get it.

TheSingulatarian

Also, some weird audio artifacts from somewhere else. You may want to look at this one.

Michael Instone

So pretentious. "I don't wanna be white" I mean come on . Besides "From Dusk Till Dawn" did a lot better. The only good thing in this movie is Jack O'Connell.

JL_83

Michael B. Jordan with another fine performance here, the entire cast was excellent actually; even if it’s not for this movie, really hope Michael B has an Oscar nomination coming in his near future…

Clay F

Ditto = "loved the cast, loved the performances, loved the historical setting, loved the period atmosphere, loved the clever combination of genres, loved the catchy songs ... loved the themes/ideas."

Clay F

Awesome movie. Loved it. Love the music and how the movie a quasi-period piece. Liked "themes/ideas." Michael B. Jordan = great. Asian couple did well = believable. Love Hailee Steinfeld = beautiful. (By the way, her Oscar nom in True Grit was well deserved.) Jack O'Connell (Remmick) also did well = good actor. “Godless” (2017) Jack O'Connell is excellent (subtle nuanced acting) as a lead in “Godless” (2017) western miniseries (7 episodes). IMDb=8.2. Nom 13 Emmys incl. Outstanding Limited Series. Won 3 Emmys incl. Jeff Daniels (who is stunning).

Clay F

Michael B. Jordan = The Wire Michael B. Jordan was 14-15 when filmed in 1st season of “The Wire” in 2002. His first role in a major production. His character’s age was 16. Jordan said he fell in love with acting while working on THE WIRE. He said: “It was the first time I ever really, like, got lost in a character.”

Shehab Dawoud

Definitely the most stylish film of 2025. A lot of soul in it. Definitely not a vampire film, the vampires are the least interesting part of it imo. But the themes of race, culture, assimilation, community, religion/sin, and music are what drive the story; the vampires are merely a tool for exploring some of those themes. I definitely liked the film, but I also feel like it's a bit on the overrated side, in the sense that some people were saying it's one of the best things they've seen in their lives. I wouldn't go that far. But definitely one of the top films this year. It should be up for some awards.

aarswft

Well this is telling.

Zane From Canada

This was like From Dusk Till Dawn and Tales From The Crypt: Demon Knight in Jim Crow era Mississippi.

Chris Thom

That snyopsis would've been perfect to hear before, actually. Not sure why, but it's been like pulling teeth trying to get someone to explain the premise to this one.

Blake Evans

Ill have to catch this one tonight. Unfortunately, i wasn't as blown away by this as everyone else. Though it did get better for me on multiple viewings, all the little horror easter eggs. Like the last night in the mid credits sequence is October 16, 1992. The release date of Candyman (1992) which hopefully Cassie gets to see (tribute to the late great Tony Todd), or the fact that when Stack talks to Sammy and says that until that night at the club, it was the best day of his life. Was also the last day he saw his brother. I didn't catch on til later that as a vampire, he has no reflection so he can't see himself anymore, nor his twin. It hits a bit harder.

Clarence Newman

If this is the final film of Scary But Not Too Scary 2025, can I be the first to standingly ovate our pioneering goggle-boxer? You deserve the applause, Cassie. No one's been this far outside their comfort zone since I first saw The Plastic Men on the OG Doctor Who. At least you didn't end up behind the sofa, clinging to your Alsatian for comfort.

Tyler Hale

One day we’ll see the inspiration for this film From Dusk Till Dawn. And Salma Hayek 🤤

Above Average Dave

The Delta Blues and Gospel always make for a winning soundtrack 😁

Chris Thom

Don't know if she could fully appreciate Selma Hayek in that, but I do think she would get it.

Chris Thom

Woah didn't know he was in that.

Joe J

We need another Pollception Poll for November, and a random PR Poll. Need these every month IMO for more variety.

Nick Ireland

@Michael Instone - critical thinking is clearly not your strong suit

Just Plain Bob

Or he simply didn’t like the movie and thought it was pretentious, as he said. It’s not like the movie’s themes are exactly subtle - racism, exploitation, cultural identity and cultural appropriation, etc. It’s all laid right out, like they’re preaching to dimwitted kindergartners that can’t be trusted to divine the film’s messages without a massive assist. He didn’t find that appealing. Neither do I. It doesn’t make us racist or indicate an inability to think critically. I don’t mind political subtext in a film but it’s a bit much to be bludgeoned over the head with it. And, as loathsome as some might find it, people are allowed to dislike (even hate) films that the majority likes.

Stick Figure Studios

I know this film is pretty divisive and since there may be valid criticisms that can be levelled at it, people are certainly free not to like it... but while I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're speaking hyperbolically, the fact you think the "ONLY good thing in this movie" is Jack O'Connell (a white guy) really does suggest to me that you're reactiing negatively to something other than the film's artistic quality.

Dave

@Nick Ireland - Please remove this comment and don't insult others here. Remove it before we have it removed for you. Thanks

Shad Kanyak

They kinda had me just being a period piece vampire film that isn’t set in the Victorian era.

Walter

I found this to be a really well made, incredibly well acted, overrated movie, shot beautifully. Nothing in this film is original, but everything in this film is done really well. I liked the first half far more than the second half (same with From Dusk Til Dawn, actually), and I personally hated the ending. But still a recommend from me. I look forward to watching this reaction.

Chris Thom

Has there been a futuristic vampire movie yet?

Shad Kanyak

The Ethan Hawke movie Daybreakers is the only one I know for sure.

Kyle K

Weapons and Sinners back to back very cool. I was wondering if you and your sister were going to finish the Mission Impossible series on here sometime.

Just Plain Bob

Here’s a film I’d love to see get a reaction but which almost certainly never will. “Dellamorte Dellamore” (aka “Cemetery Man”) stars Rupert Everett playing a character from a story arc in the Italian comic “Dylan Dog.” The twist? In the comic, his character is a doppelgänger for Dylan Dog, a paranormal investigator, whose appearance was based on…Rupert Everett. And that’s the least confusing/most normal aspect of the entire project. It features zombies, Death, three incarnations of the same love interest, a protagonist that commits cold blooded murder and it may well be my favorite film of all time. My love for the film is shared by Martin Scorsese who declared it one of the best Italian films ever made and the film of the year when it was released. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wer78mf1V2Q

Johnny Bullis

Lol... best part for me was you calling that Irish jig Creepy and catchy... very accurate actually. I actually did try to watch this on my own when it came out on HBO Max but kept having an eerie vibe .. but watching along with you made it cool. Gotta say.. Im glad I did finally get thru it.. perception and reality are often two different things. I hope they make a sequel.

Clay F

Definitely not overrated. The positive reviews (e.g., RT 97%, RT Audience 96%) well deserved. "A rip-roaring fusion of masterful visual storytelling and toe-tapping music, writer-director Ryan Coogler's first original blockbuster reveals the full scope of his singular imagination." "Ryan Coogler has not only delivered a deliciously vicious vampire hit, but an unapologetically Black genre knockout ablaze with a killer cast and a cranked-up score." I like the scene (a climax scene) of the Klan being ambushed. Sinners successful box office run, earning $367 million worldwide ($279 million domestic and $88 million international) against a budget of $90 million, making it one of the year's highest-grossing movies, particularly within the horror genre.

Clay F

+1 for random PR Poll.

Above Average Dave

Love Son Seals. Also big fan of John Lee Hooker ("The Healer" album is transcendent), Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Son House, and Little Charlie and the Nightcats. But easily my favorite of all is John Hammond, Jr. btw, if you want blues with a twist, Hammond cut an album called "Wicked Grin" that is his take on Tom Waitts songs and it's produced by....Tom Waitts. Apparently their respective wives were friends and thought up the project and it just clicked. Genius all around: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XrDKUGWv-k&list=PLq5VwY4yXSwAmfTyZq3Phx4lmtTb4V561

Larry Darrell

This one surprised me. Awesome soundtrack. Much of it recorded in Memphis, TN and New Orleans, LA. The film was shot in Louisiana even though it takes place in Clarksdale, MS. If you’ve ever heard about people, mainly musicians, ever selling their soul to the devil at The Crossroads… well those Crossroads are in Clarksdale, MS. Where Hwys 61 & 49 meet. Blues musician Robert Johnson (1911 - 1938) may be the most popular to be associated with the Crossroads, because of his short recording career (only 2 recording sessions), short life (he never knew fame), and overall mystery of who he was. Very little is known about Robert Johnson for sure, except for his recordings, which total to less than fifty. Robert Johnson’s music is considered by many to be the earliest Rock n Roll. He has influenced countless artists over the past 100 years… including blues guitarist and singer, Buddy Guy, who at the age of 88, played the older Sammie at the end. Cassie… you have now been introduced to the legend… Buddy Guy. https://youtu.be/NU5xA6ty0a4 Perfect Casting ;-) In the 80s, a fun film about the “Myth” of the Crossroads was made, which was actually shot in Mississippi. It stars Ralph Macchio, Joe Seneca and Jami Gertz, called… Crossroads (1986) One of the most awesome Music scenes ever filmed is in this film. It’s worth it just for that. PS: There’s an Awesomely BadAss film from the 90s that one can’t help but be reminded of when watching Sinners. They’re similar in multiple ways. The film, directed by Robert Rodriguez (Spy Kids/Sin City), is called… From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)… written by and starring Quentin Tarantino… also starring George Clooney. Highly, Highly Recommended!!

Ian A

This is one of my favorite films of maybe the last decade. I have watched it at least a half dozen times since it came out. Only regret is not being able to see it in theatres. The visuals, characters, dialogue, and the music...OMG the music!!!. Everything is almost perfect for me. Loved the Michael A, Michael B joke. Thanks for reacting!

Larry Darrell

It made perfect sense that the Irish would be drawn to the Delta Blues, and the song “Rocky Road to Dublin” would fit so well in 1930s Clarksdale. Because you know… The Irish are the Blacks of Europe… and Dubliners are the Blacks of Ireland. (-: Do you not get it, Lads? ;-) It’s finally time for Cassie to see… The Commitments (1991)!!

Canadianant

Great film love the commitments " I'm black and I'm proud!"

Kevin Farrell

Newer viewer here, but you've come a long way from your older horror reactions! I'm glad you liked this. We might make a horror fan out of you yet! 😆

Zane From Canada

BTW Corn liquor is basically high-proof distilled alcohol made from corn instead wheat or barley. Think corn whiskey, moonshine, or bourbon.

Canadianant

Wow this one was a bit of a surprise for me. Loved the period Blues elements. Great acting excellent music very unique. Loved seeing buddy guy as the elder Sammie. Dare I say in a completely different vein? Can we finally get a Blues Brothers reaction at this point? Another one that you could add to the list if you're looking for a fun watch but also has elements of the Blues is the movie Crossroads with Ralph macchio.

John Rando

Cassie is on fire this October! Almost 60 scary movies under her belt. Can definitely say she’s now “One of us! One of us! Gooble gobble one of us!”

Keith Jacobsen

Delta or The Delta refers to the Mississippi Delta, a geographic region of Northwest Mississippi.

Michael Labs

I agree with almost everything that Just Plain Bob said, except for the "preaching to dimwitted kindergartners" bit. I have seen far worse in the preachy department, as in light years worse. What THOSE flicks had in common is that they failed hard in getting any kind of an audience. I think it is a fine film though "lifechanging" is a bit much after all as I've said before... "It... is... a... moo... vee..."

Richard Maurer

Priest (2011) is a post-apocalyptic vampire action movie. It’s okay, kind of forgettable.

Brian's Dog

Next awards show we need a biggest and longest jaw drop category.

Richard Maurer

Lot of opinions on this excellent movie. Would have been a good movie without the Vampires, but I’ve always believed there’s no good movie that couldn’t be made better by adding monsters to it. Am I being serious? No - and Yes. This movie in particular was made better by adding monsters (vampires). Was the vampire part of the story similar to From Dusk Till Dawn? Sure, but that’s like saying every modern zombie movie is similar to Night of the Living Dead. In fact if you substitute zombies for vampires then FDTD is like NotLD. The only real similarity between this movie and From Dusk Till Dawn is they’re both set in a bar. Great reaction Cassie, glad you reacted to it

K, Zachary

We waited on this one to come to Amazon before we rented it. We sure wished we wouldn't have. I don't know if this was the best movie of the year. However it definitely was our favorite. Hailee Steinfeld, Michael B. Jordan great performances all around. We thought this movie had soul. You nailed it Cassie on your outro. This was so much more then a horror movie to us. Everything you said about this movie has was absolutely true. This was nuch more than a horror movie. We love the blues. The always say that the blues comes from the heart.

Clay F

Well said.

Clay F

Good comments.

Larry Darrell

I can think of some more similarities, but to be discussed later.

Larry Darrell

Big +1 for The Blues Brothers (1980).

Richard Maurer

To use the NotLD analogy again, yes there are similarities,but so what? There are similarities between both films and I am Legend. And 30 Days of Night. The two movies main story lines, the characters and their motivations, are completely different.

Philip Alan

Such a fantastic movie! Tops in my book! Great reaction! You had one of the best lines that really describes this movie: “That was creepy… and catchy.”

Philip Alan

A beautifully made movie!

VOCFM

Yeah that was really good. I was worried the entire thing was going to be "white people and Christianity bad" and while it was kind of that, it was still so good that I didn't care. The actor that played the lead vampire is in a few things, Skins, a british tv show with Gendry AND Gilly (Sams "girl") from Game of thrones. He was so good in that part its crazy. The Irish Jig after killing everyone was so good too it was also insane. it looked so cool. The Vampire eyes were really cool too. Some of the coolest vampires I've really seen. This was the first time watching for me and my reaction to the vampires dancing and him singing was much different from yours hahahaha

VOCFM

Idk, I don't know what would be better then this, as I haven't enjoyed a modern movie this much in a while, and this isnt the type of movie i'd have thought i'd think that about

Jacob King

Love this movie. Blues music and vampires are two of my obsessions so bringing them together is amazing. Remmick wanted Sammie because he was a griot and had the power to connect him with his ancestors. As a vampire he wouldn’t get to see them in the afterlife but through the music he could get back some of what he’d lost. Stack calling the music “the real” at the end has the double meaning he gets to live young forever but will never have the same feelings that humans have - the real real.

Larry Darrell

I don’t think the two films having similarities is a negative by the way. They compliment each other. George Romero was inspired by The Last Man on Earth (1964) when he made Night of the Living Dead. One will always remind you of the other, and if you like both, you’ll want to watch both. It’s a Win Win. Whether it was intentional or not. Which I doubt it was.

Richard Maurer

Larry - my comment wasn’t really directed at you. There were several comments that imply that Sinners was basically a copy of From Dusk till Dawn, which is ridiculous. I’m aware that Romero has said that he was inspired by The novel, as well as Richard Matheson saying NotLD was inspired by his novel. I’ve always considered the similarities overblown. Both are basically a last stand scenario set in a house, with monsters instead of human enemies, so not really something that either Romero or Matheson invented.

WestBound

I know it's Halloween month but interesting we still haven't gotten big movies like Fantastic4 and F1 yet

Larry Darrell

I’m watching A House of Dynamite (2025) on Netflix now, 15 minutes in, and I’ve already thought of 3 films that it reminds me of. There’s been over a hundred years worth of filmmaking by now. Having a film be 100% original is almost an impossibility at this point. It’s what is done with “un-original” ideas that makes a film stand out… which I believe is what Sinners did. The use of Blues and Irish music and the setting of Clarksdale, MS, near the Crossroads, in the 1930s, is what I found the most interesting. That’s where its uniqueness is.

Walter

the similarities to From Dusk Til Dawn are far more than a little. Who cares? I agree, I don't care. And I don't think people point that out to tear this movie down. No question the camera work, music, performances here are a master class. I don't think the second half is the strong half, personally. Once the vampires attack, it is like a lot of horror - we're trapped in a location under attack - movies. I found the first half so compelling and original that once it hit a more familiar story beat, I was a little disappointed. Just my personal feelings. But the actors never stop being compelling to watch. This is one of the few movies I did see on the big screen and I'm very glad I did.

Richard Maurer

Hope we get Fantastic Four soon. Love that movie. I think it works for Tender November. Very much a movie about family.

Walter

so I guess Cassie isn't gonna watch Welcome To Derry for the channel... : - )

Mojo One Thousand

I enjoyed that "Gone in 60 seconds" was name checked for Delroy Lindo... even though "Ransom" is on the channel and he was more prominent in that film. I am guessing that "Ransom" has been memory holed for Cassie, which his fair enough. This really good, but it would have worked just the same without the Klan stuff. Or, it could have also worked with just the Klan stuff without the vampires (although shifting the genre).

Rick Williams

Great Reaction Cassie. Vampires and witches. What next evil clowns?

Cole Jennett

Reminded me that she hasn’t seen The Cider House Rules yet. That’s on her poster of 100 movies.

SeanATX

Such a slick movie. Fun to rewatch. The “surreal montage” musical scene with different time periods mixed in is just as electric (no pun intended) as when I first saw it.

Walter

I'm not even gonna lie, if I saw the vampires doing their “Rocky Road to Dublin” song and dance, I probably would have gone out and joined them

Gray

I watched that earlier this year, proper weird b-movie in a good way. you gotta love Gnaghi

Gray

I was enjoying this movie til the vampire standoff then it turned into a broadway/fx tv show, great performances though and the soundtrack was stellar

Arturo

Anyone knows why was Cassi covering her face at the beginning of the video?

OddThomas

30 Days of Night is another great vampire flick

Walter

I gotta say, this October’s scary but not too scary line-up was really impressive. Thanks to Cassie, I watched Nosferatu for the first time (both versions), and Weapons (a new favorite of mine!). Crazy good - thanks PIB!

Art Vandalaay

Just watched for the first time along with the full reaction. I had low expectations as I haven’t loved Coogler’s films so far. And by association, I guess I’m not particularly a Michael B Jordan fan. Anyway.. Forget about it. All is forgiven. I loved Sinners. Can take or leave the Vampire action scenes.. And yes, it was probably a little ham fisted on the racial… the times they are a changing stuff. But it was all done with such panache, style and ultimately, emotion. It won me over. And that soundtrack… 👍❤️

Chris Thom

Wasn't expecting to like Nosferatu so much. But it was very, very well done. For the genre, and just in filmmaking in general. Quite an achievement. Have a feeling that director is going to have a lot of options in the future.
