What stories you heard? How haints work. They switch places with the soul of a man. But vampires is different. Maybe the worst kind. The soul gets stuck in the body. Can't rejoin the ancestors. Curse to live here with all this hate. Can't even feel the warmth of a sunrise. OK. Can we bring them back? Maybe if I kill the ones that made them this way. Smoke. They have a connection, but they live on, even if the one that made them is killed. The best thing we can do for him is free his spirit from this curse. They gotta be killed one by one. How the hell do we do that? Sunlight.
I wouldn't state that hard. Ryan Coogler says Sinners is also a tribute to his late Uncle James, who first introduced him to the blues. When he was a kid, Coogler would soak up his uncle's stories about Mississippi as old Delta Blues records spun in the background. Coogler's debut into the film world happened in 2013 with Fruitvale Station, which chronicled the final hours of Oscar Grant, a young black man killed by police in Oakland. Since then, he's become the highest-grossing black filmmaker in history and the youngest director to helm a billion-dollar movie with Black Panther.
