Well deserved, Sinners was awesome. Weirdly enough I enjoyed the first half of the movie more when it was just a period drama, but I felt it got a little goofy when vampires were introduced.
It also bothers me that everyone kept trying to sell the movie as a horror. It's really not scary, it's more of an action thriller.
If anything it reminded me of From Dusk Till Dawn
Agree on all of those points. I thought the slow-burn setup as various characters prepared for the evening was extremely well done.
