Good evening readers, I hope your week is finishing strong. I’ve been meaning to write about the movie Sinners. Which I finally sat down to watch it, I’m so thrilled to talk about, because I’m a big vampire film lover, I enjoy vampire television series, not so much Vampire Diaries…I tried, but I do like The Originals because it does take place New Orleans and there are werewolves and witches as well, always number one in my book if you have other species in the mix I think. But let’s brew about it!
I popped my favorite movie snack, popcorn and blanket and hit that remote like I meant business. I’ve been dying to watch this movie and it didn’t disappoint. It took place in the prohibition era, during a time where racism is riding high. I found it interesting and spoiler alert, they had a hint of the native culture there which I thought was really cool. The music was amazing and I love that they added a bit of magic to the music as well as healing.
It gave way that some people having the gift of music that could pierce the veil between the dead and the living called griots, I need to look into this more because this is fascinating, makes me think of video games with bards holding magic skills. Back to the plot it’s about twin brothers opening up a club/ speak-easy and they have just hired their cousin to perform when comes along three strangers wanting to be “invited in.” The first night is a hit, but as it where’s on these strangers don’t take no for an answer and all hell breaks loose.
The story was well written and went smoothly. I’m definitely going repeat watching this film to see if I miss any nuances I didn’t see the first time. What about you? Have you seen Sinners? Have you ever heard of griots? I think this is a perfect summer horror movie.
As Always Keep On Brewin!
