Ryan Coogler‘s new horror movie Sinners is receiving rave reviews but don’t leave the movie theater when the credits begin to roll.
The director has two surprises in store for fans: a mid-credits scene and a post-credits scene.
What is Sinners about?
Sinners takes place over the span of 24 hours, and blends vampires, horror and history into one thrilling story of survival in the Jim Crow South.
It follows twin brothers and World War I veterans Smoke and Stack (both played by Michael B. Jordan) who return to their Mississippi Delta hometown in 1932 after spending years in Chicago where they made a name for themselves as gangsters.
Rolling in the dough, they return to Clarksdale with plans to open their own juke joint for the local Black community despite opposition from the local Ku Klux Klan.
They recruit their cousin Sammie (breakout Miles Caton), the local preacher’s son and a blues prodigy to help them but Sammie has a gift that can pierce the veil between the living and the dead – and that’s exactly what happens when a trio of white vampires find themselves drawn to the juke club by Sammie’s musical talents.

What he really wants, however, is Sammie’s gifts and a final battle ensues that sees Smoke kill Remnick.
