Jack-O's Review: "The film is like an old VHS recording of a TV broadcast with fake commercials and horror host Count Creepy presenting a movie 31 Kills of Horror aka The Spooky Girlz' livestream on Halloween night. The horror host segments are so bad they're good. I love the Halloween commercials. The Spooky Girlz are the most interesting part of the film. Cheesy campy makeup, effects, masks, costumes and decorations. I liked it, most people will find it terrible." ★★ @trickhorrortreater

Youtubers The Spooky Girlz are looking to spice up their 31 Kills of Halloween series of videos by watching rare film Smashed Brains in the house of the main who made it, local serial killer Barry Brodsky, on Halloween Night. Killarity ensues. This is a weird one as its kind of presented as a late night host Uncle Creepy presenting the movie on his show with him interupting the movie to do his puns. I liked the regular movie about the spooky girls but the Uncle Creepy stuff turned me off. He is unnerving but not in a fun horror host way. More in a I wouldnt want to be stuck in an elevator with him way. You know hed do something weird. I kind of prefer his segments were not included as they seem added just to pad out the time. I did like the fake commercials added though. In the end the girls were the star of the show and owned most of the runtime. I liked their story and so i mostly liked this movie. In fact im rooting they make a sequel with the Spooky Girls on a new adventure. Check this out if youre looking for a social media influencer type halloween flick" ★★½ Ben Grimm at Letterboxd.com
"... Super duper low budget 'horror comedy', blessedly not a micro-anthology as the title made me fear.
Presented as a late night public access monster-host TV horror presentation, the host is funny and wears the worst Freddy Krueger costume I've ever seen. Apart from constant sub-Crypt Keeper groaners, not many actual jokes. Also has a handful of "local commercials" that are pretty charming. Not quite T&E levels of absurdity, shooting for the quirky regional ads of yore.
The actual 'movie' being presented is a nothing-burger. Unfunny, unscary, uninteresting, poorly-acted story of some YouTubers or whatnot receiving and watching a 'cursed film' basically, tied to the crimes of a real-world serial killer. Much preferred the intentional cringe of the interstitials. A fine watch for the 'extra bits' and fabricated nostalgia, but doesn't function well as a horror comedy movie, per se. Good natured and you can tell it was made pretty earnestly and with effort and care despite the winky tongue in cheek quality. Why not?" ★★½ Bear at Letterboxd.com
"... follows 2 women called The Spooky Girls. Someone had an idea but the movie wasn't long enough so they put in weird infomercials and a crazy host talking to the audience. Silly and short and why and what did I watch." ★½ JamesFearX at Letterboxd.com

Jack-O's Review: "Epically fantastic fucking film. Great everything, performances, dialogue, music, gore, effects, fantastic The Thing homage scene and the 3 endings are the chef's kiss to top it all off, plus an after credit scene. The vampire's eyes look creepy AF. I love it, highly recommend! No Halloween related scenes but the story takes place in mid October 1932. After watching all the shitty films on this blog, this is the best I've seen in a while! ★★★★★ One of the best vampire movies of all time, an instant classic, and a masterpiece!" @trickhorrortreater

"The director (Ryan Coogler) reaches for epic scope when intimacy would do just fine, mourns broken Black lineages, and makes bare the stains of American racism... It’s a shame to see Coogler’s ambitious designs ultimately conform to genre conventions, causing the intended awe to happen only in flashes. The cast, a diverse assortment of major talents that takes a while to assemble, illustrates the film’s broad scope... The accumulation of characters and backstories takes long enough that we don’t arrive at the juke joint until about an hour into the film. Coogler intentionally takes his time because he wants to narratively and visually immerse you in this world... The film’s topics, which are equally disordered, are varied and inseparable from Coogler's career: African folklore, America's racial history, decimated Black families, Black freedom, Black-owned properties, the importance of ancestors and kin, and the binding power of music... The film's final freakout is a deliciously gory affair... This collision of “Queen of the Damned” and “From Dusk Till Dawn” offers plenty of spectacle, even if it offers few new wrinkles to the vampire mythology, especially as it relates to the film's Southern setting. Even if Coogler doesn't know where to end his movie, it's tempting to be swept up in his expansive vision, if only because his intent is so firm... The final three scenes, including a mid and post-credit scene, play more like box checking... The inability to end on a specific note mutes the impact of the previous attempts, making for a film that spins out of control. However, on a landscape afraid to grant directors the freedom to take massive swings, especially for Black filmmakers like Coogler who've earned the right for such big statements, making a movie that feels too big is a sin worth forgiving." ★★½ RogerEbert.com
"...Sinners is a straight-up vampire horror movie and delivers on its promise of being a grisly ride full of blood-soaked chaos. Coogler's direction is gleefully old-fashioned, as he opts for the practical blood-spurts and stomach-churning prosthetic make-up instead of the studio-mandated CGI crap. It's impressive and remarkably inspired, given this is his first foray into the genre. From a mythological standpoint as well, I love how it strips the rules back to basics, with emphasis on the first rule: don't let them into your home. Vampires can't hurt you if they don't receive an invitation to the barbecue... There's a lot of subtext to digest on a first watch. On my second viewing, everything clicked, and I was in awe. I resonated with Sinners so heavily that I am convinced if this had dropped when I was a teen, it would've absolved me of my religious trauma... Sinners celebrates Black history with an innovative blend of folklore and mythology, making for a genre-bending blood-soaked southern gothic horror masterpiece." ★★★★★ RendyReviews.com
"...I'm already prepared to hail "Sinners" as the movie of the year from this point onwards... "Sinners" is several things at once — a monster movie, a blood-soaked action film, a sexy and sensual thriller, and a one-location horror flick as intense and paranoia-driven as anything from the original "Assault on Precinct 13" or Quentin Tarantino's filmography – but its greatest strength comes from how well Coogler blends every big idea on his mind. Music plays an enormously important role in the narrative, emphasized by the world-building details of how these vampires get involved in the first place... Everything comes to a head in a barn-burning sequence drenched in hazy lights and shadows... Almost certainly destined to end up among the best and most memorable scenes in all of 2025, this transports viewers across a dreamlike tableau of Black characters in true communion with ancestors and descendants alike — a moment of actual movie magic that needs to be seen to be believed... And, somehow, "Sinners" only ramps up even higher from there in a chaotic final act that I dare not spoil... This is a one-of-a-kind experience that simply doesn't come around very often. Hyperbole or not, I'm willing to bet we'll be talking about "Sinners" for a long time to come." Rating: 9 out of 10 SlashFilm.com
"Sinners is one of the most entertaining surprises to arrive in theatres in a long time. Coogler's film is intellectually stimulating, with an open narrative and a rambling pleasure. Going into the theatre knowing just that should be fine. Knowing less is even better. Disclosing the plot threatens to reduce the overall experience. On the other hand, the trailer, which I've seen, lasts nearly two minutes and reveals almost every unique beat of the film. Yet I still managed to be surprised... Coogler earned his pedigree as a natural-born storyteller as the director of Creed and Black Panther. Sinners is the first film Coogler has made without the benefit of an already existing story. The story is a Coogler original, allowing him the freedom to use film as a sprawling canvas to tell a story not even the screen can hold. Coogler works on the imagination, getting into our minds, triggering a journey that breaks the limitations of the theatre. The movie will be met with comparisons to director Robert Rodriguez's From Dusk to Dawn, and though the connections aren't inaccurate (Coogler himself has admitted to being influenced by Rodriguez's film), the resemblance between the films is as valid as comparing limericks to poetry. Sinners is a ballad; a film that takes shape in beats and stanzas, in illusions and imagery. It sings and moves and burns through the roof of all that we can imagine. It's all magic whether it's an alluring dance number, a magnificent tracking shot through a small-town street reinterpreted again as a similar shot through a crowded dance floor, a glorious merging of the past, present, and future, or an impish tune from a trio of Irish troubadours... The first act of the film is in no hurry to get to the second act. Like a leisurely stopover on a long vacation, Sinners languishes in the moment. It's when characters are introduced before heading towards the most explosive night of their lives... A lot happens in Sinners even before a lot happens, but when the music kicks in and the joint starts hopping, all hell breaks loose. Some of the best scenes in cinema happen in the course it takes for Coogler to tell his story. And Coogler tells the story the way he wants. Directing from his own script, Coogler has created a gothic horror musical epic, with encompassing detail, unearthly magic, and historic accuracy. A bombastic meditation on race, freedom, confinement and the magical, sinful, erotic release that can only come from music. Sinners is a movie to see again and again and again. And then, go see it with friends. And that's all that needs to be said." A+ Original-Cin.ca
"An ambitious melding of pop spectacle and serious intent, Ryan Coogler's swaggering vampire film has much to say about race and class divisions in America, a country that sucks dry its most vulnerable citizens... Coogler taps his regular creative team, including cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw, production designer Hannah Beachler and costume designer Ruth E. Carter for this handsome look at the Jim Crow-era South... the writer-director unapologetically delivers a politically-pointed action film in which this poor Black community is imperilled by white vampires determined to destroy them... None of Sinners' large ensemble is intricately layered, but the cast leave impressions nonetheless... Sinners feels appropriately epic as dashes of Quentin Tarantino and John Carpenter's B-movie showmanship find their way into Coogler's crowd-pleasing flair. Even when the movie loses momentum or risks overstaying its welcome, the audacity of his vision is infectious — and harder to contain than those rampaging bloodsuckers."

"Stream It Or Skip It: Ryan Coogler's Sinners (now streaming on HBO Max, in addition to VOD platforms like Amazon Prime Video) gets 2025's One Hell Of A Movie award... [Coogler] concocted a genre-mashing action-horror-drama about life and death, good and evil, and how music bridges those dichotomies, set in the 1930s Deep South. Oh, and it's a vampire movie... Sinners finds the sweet spot between Jordan Peele (it's more Us than Get Out) and From Dusk Till Dawn... [Michael B.] Jordan continually comes to life when Coogler directs him, and the supporting cast – Steinfeld, Lindo, Mosaku especially – is just as good. But the breakout is Caton, a first-time actor who finds depth of character via his tremendous singing voice... Coogler spends the first 45 minutes building to the big party, and it takes another 15 for it to get saucy. Sinners truly takes flight when Sammie takes the juke joint stage to sing and strum, and Coogler choreographs a stunning unbroken shot winding through the revelers, inserting musicians from different eras, from African percussionists to Funkadelic-style electric guitarists and Chinese dancers. Such robust storytelling seems incongruous with the inevitable corn syrup-drenched vampire showdown, but Coogler makes it work through force of will, and the ability to make us feel intoxicated with the film's energy and impressive visionary overtures. Music is love and danger and life. Music is for sinners, and that, of course, is all of us... Our Call: Sinners ain't perfect. But you have to see it anyway. STREAM IT." Decider.com
