(Spoilers for Sinners)

Sinners

(っ• ཀ •)っ

Did you know: in the first half of the movie, every character that exchanges money dies in the second half?

In terms of vampire movies, Sinners is a fresh take on the monster. Instead of portraying vampires as lustful demons (and let's be honest, we all love a sexy vampire but it's getting old), Sinners' vampires are greedy monsters. In a unique way, they're a metaphor for the way that capitalism gobbles up cultures and leaves behind something soulless and forever trapped in the material world (if you find this concept as fascinating as I do I highly recommend Mark Fisher's Capitalist Realism).

I love it when the director hits you with the symbolism like a hammer. I rate Sinners six out of six strings.
