What This Means For Sinners
Jordan’s Twin Characters Are Only The Tip Of The Iceberg
Sinners' twin reveal adds a new twisttoJordan and Coogler’s reunionand teases the acting masterclass that Jordan will be putting on display. Since this has already been revealed, Jordan playing two characters is a part of the movie’s premise that will presumably be made clear early on, leaving more shocking revelations to come later in the story. Much of this intrigue is rooted in the vampires themselves, as the trailer does not explicitly show them, a clever move that leaves more to the imagination and that will make their eventual introduction all the more horrifying.
Instead of holy symbols, Jordan’s characters have their own weapons to combat this evil, including the gun he is seen firing at the end of the trailer.
As with many vampire stories, religion also looks to be playing an important role, as evidenced by the shot of a maimed individual stumbling into a church. His injury hints at the darkness that is rising and that even the faith of their churchgoers and their holy symbols will not be enough to stop the vampires. Instead of holy symbols,Jordan’s characters have their own weapons to combat this evil, including the gun he is seen firing at the end of the trailer.
Our Take On The Sinners Trailer
It’s Going To Be A Great Year Of Terrifying Vampire Movies
Sinnerslooks reminiscent ofa good old-fashioned vampire horror movie that will be elevated by Jordan’s dual performances and Coogler’s distinct direction. BetweenSinners,theSalem’s Lotremakecoming to Max, and theNosferaturemake starring Bill Skarsgård, it is a good time to be a fan of vampire horror that makes the monsters feel truly terrifying again. TheSinnerstrailer does enough to whet the appetite while leaving viewers wanting to see more of the original terrifying tale.
