10 fascinating films for “sinners” fans
Ryan Kogler has offered his most ambitious work with “sinners”. Written by the script, he created a film that is both personal and universal by combining drama, action, scary and musical genres. Certainly “sinners” can also be criticized, such as the bustle of themes; Kogler wants to deal with a wide range of topics, from racism and the philosophy of freedom to the importance of music and a look at the history of blacks. He largely combines these elements properly, but the film does not allow Cogler to add deeper layers. However, the “sinners” is an exciting and wonderful film that if you’ve watched it, the cinematic works we will not overlook below.
10- From wolf to dawn (from dusk till dawn)
- Year of release: 1996
- Director: Robert Rodriguez
- Cast: Harvey Kaitel, George Clooney, Quentin Tarantino, Juliet Louis, Salma Hayek, Chich Marin, Fred Williamson
- IMDB User Rating to Movie: 7.2 of 10
- Ratan Tommos Points to Movie: 64 out of 100
The main charm of “Wolfish to Dawn” is its creative team: Quentin Tarantino as screenwriter and actor, Robert Rodriguez behind the camera and George Clooney in the role of a work, an actor who was best known for his dramatic television roles. The story is about two criminal brothers, Set (George Clooney) and Richard (Quentin Tarantino) who are fleeing to Mexico after a bloody robbery of the bank. They take hostage a priest who deal with the existential crisis, hostage Jacob (Harvey Kaitel) and his family, Kate (Juliet Lewis) and Scott (Ernest Liu), to cross the border.
The group eventually takes refuge in a mysterious café, where it is where the vampires are giving. Now they have to fight these dangerous creatures to survive the sunrise. The film is like “sinners” because we are here with two brothers who are criminals and want to start again, and face the vampires. “From Wolfish to Dawn” has a seasoning Tarantino’s works, a film impregnated with black comedy and violence, with both more action and scary.
9- Blade (Blade)
- Year of release: 1998
- Director: Steven Nehngton
- Cast: Wesley Snape, Chris Christopherson, Steven Draf, Donl Log, Senna Latan, Neu Wright, Arley Khobar, Gerald Oakura
- IMDB User Rating to Movie: 7.1 from 10
- Ratan Tommos Points to Movie: 58 out of 100
“Blade” – or “Blade” – is made in an era when superhero films have not yet achieved widespread success, and studios were skeptical of their business success. The choice of Wesley Snape also seemed unusual because Blade’s character in the comics was British, not American. However, Snape’s commitment to his martial arts and exercises diminished these concerns. Steven Necongton also faced a variety of challenges in the development of the film, the special effects of those days were not enough for what he had in mind, and the studio pushed him to reduce film violence. But Blade, however, became a great success, and it should be one of the pioneers of modern superhero films.
The story about Blade (Wesley Snape) is a human-blood hybrid that hunts vampires with its supernatural abilities to protect humans. With the help of his friend, Wissir (Chris Christopherson), he is confronted by Dicon Frost (Steven Draf), an ambitious and cruel vampire, who has a dangerous plan to dominate the world. Blade, along with Dr. Karen Sex (New Wright), a physician who helps him after the vampire attack, enters a dark, dark battle to prevent his followers and his followers. The struggle sequences are highly attractive, and Steven Neutrington’s gothic space evokes a sense of horror and suspension.
8. Daily shift (day shift)
- Year of release: 2022
- Director: Jay. Jay. Perry
- Cast: Jimmy Fox, Dave Franco, Natasha Liu Bordezo, Oliver Masochi, CS Lee, Megan Good, Carla Sosa, Scott Adkins
- IMDB User Rating to Movie: 6.1 from 10
- Ratan Tommos Points to Movie: 57 out of 100
A entertaining scary comedy film, “Day Shift”, the story of the wind (Jimmy Fox), a vampire hunter who was fired from the vampire hunter. Now, with the help of his new friend, Set (Dave Franco), and the support of Big John (Snoop Dog), he is trying to return to the union. Along the way, he is faced with a powerful bloodthirsty named Audrey (Carla Sosa) and dangerous plans and must compete with time to save his family and protect the city from the threat of bloodthirsty.
The film “Day Shift” is similar to “sinners” that tries to take a different approach to the bloodthirsty subspecies. Both films place the vampires in an unusual hospital and try to add cultural and social layers to the genre’s common stereotypes: “The Shift of the Day” deals with the working class culture and family dynamics, and the “sinners” of Jim Crowe and the Power of Music.
7. Lord (overlord)
- Year of release: 2018
- Director: Julius Evory
- Cast: Young Adpo, White Russell, Pilo Eskan, Jacob Anderson, Ian de Kosar, John Magaro, Bookim Woodbin, Erich Redman
- IMDB User Rating to Movie: 6.6 out of 10
- Ratan Tommos Points to Movie: 82 out of 100
It was initially thought that the Lord was thought to take place in the Claverfield cinematic world (because the producer was G.G. Abrams), but Julius Ayuri denied the rumors, although structurally, the film has similarities to “No. 10 of Claverfield Street”. The story is about a group of American paratroopers on the eve of the Battle of Normandy (D-Day) in World War II, which finds a mission to destroy a radio tower after their plane crashed on Nazi-occupied French territory. Edward (Young Adpo), along with his companions, unions in the village with Keloy (Matilde Olivier), a local woman.
They soon reveal the terrible Nazi experiments, experiments that make their forces into terrible creatures. Edward and his companions now have to face these deadly threats to carry out their important mission. The Lord is familiar with the story and is not good at the characterization, but these weaknesses are compensated for the combination of action and scary and war genres and the introduction of these elements in the World War II. The military conflict of the characters with the mutant creatures is truly exciting and has made the film a different work. But if you ask why it looks like the movie “sinners”, because it first tries to bring you closer to the characters to get in touch with them and then leave these people in a dangerous hell to worry. In addition, both films have tried to combine two very different genres.
6. Rosewood (Rosewood)
- Year of release: 1997
- Director: John Singleton
- Cast: Wing Rims, Don Chidel, John Wit, Bruce McGill, Lauren Dean, Esther Roll, Eliz Neal, Robert Patrick, Michael Rucker
- IMDB User Rating to Movie: 7.2 of 10
- Ratan Tommos Points to Movie: 87 out of 100
John Singleton narrates the real events of the small town of Rosywood in Florida in 1923, where a largely African-American society lives in peace until a false accusation by a white woman, mortal Taylor (Catherine Claneberg), spark violence. Semen Carriers (Wing Rims), a veteran and stranger in the city, along with John Wright (John Wowwat), a white shopkeeper, are trying to save residents, including Sarah Carrer (Esther Roll), from the racist attacks of angry whites and at the same time.
The film is a dramatic narrative of the Rosywood massacre that is not talking much these days. During the incident, at least six six blacks and two whites were killed, and the city of Robwood, mostly blacks, was largely set on fire. Redwood was not successful in the box office, but later was taken into consideration for dealing with an ignorant historical catastrophe. The film is similar to “sinners” that demonstrates racial tensions and examines the theme of survival in harsh conditions. Of course, unlike “Gonasans”, this film remains realistic and avoids supernatural elements.
5. Creed (Creed)
- Year of release: 2015
- Director: Ryan Cogler
- Cast: Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone, Tosa Thompson, Phillya Rashad, Anthony Bloo, Andre Ward, Richie Custer
- IMDB User Rating to Movie: 7.6 out of 10
- Ratan Tommos Points to Movie: 95 out of 100
No one expected the Rocky series to return to the peak, but it happened with Creed, a film that we should call a spiritual reconstruction of the original Rocky. The adventures revolve around Adonis – Dani -Johnson (Michael B. Jordan), the illegitimate son of Apollo Creed, the legendary boxer. Adonis, who had a difficult life as a child, resigns from his fixed job in Los Angeles to pursue a boxing dream. He travels to Philadelphia to ask Rocky Balbua (Sylvester Stallone), a rival and old friend of his father, to become his coach. Adonis has to find his identity with a past that has a heavy shadow on him and proves in the ring that it is more than one surname. In Philadelphia, he faces unexpected challenges, and has an important race ahead, perhaps his fate will change forever.
Ryan Koogler was not a celebrity in those days and made only the “Ferrathil Station”; So no one knew how he was offering such a big project. Fortunately, Cogler did not disappoint anyone; While paying tribute to the roots of the series, the film has new words to say, and the filmmaker also convey the best technical choices, such as using long shots, to the viewer. Here’s Michael Bay’s emotional and physical game. We should not overlook Jordan either, and of course, Sylvester Stallone, who was expected to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. But in response to the question of why “guilty” fans should watch this movie; Because both of Michael B. Jordan uses Ryan Kogler’s lead role, and both are about the people who want to achieve redemption.
4- Darkness close (Near Dark)
- Year of release: 1987
- Director: Catherine Bigu
- Cast: Adrian Keyvan Pasdar, Jennie Wright, Lance Henriksen, Bill Packston, Janet Goldstein, Tim Tamarson Tim
- IMDB User Rating to Movie: 6.9 out of 10
- Ratan Tommos Points to Movie: 83 out of 100
You know Catherine Biglu mostly with her political-military works, but she also has a few unique works in the record, including the “Dark Dark” which falls into the vampire genre. The story begins with Kilb Coleton (Adrian Keyvan Pasdar), a young resident in Oklahoma who enters a dark and dangerous world after meeting with a mysterious girl named May (Jenny Wright). May introduces Kilb to a group of vampires. This cruel group roams on American roads and bloods blood for its survival. Kilb, now involved in his vampire nature, must choose between loyalty to the May and the desire to preserve his humanity.
“Near Darkness” did not be confiscated in the box office, mostly due to competition and comparison with “Lost Boys”, which was a vampire. However, over time it became a Cult film and has its own fans. Like “sinners”, the film also combines cultural and social contexts to tell a different vampire story. The film also tries to abandon the common stereotypes of the genre and deliver a stressful and, of course, special experience. Even if you are not interested in classic films, be sure to look at this scary movie of the 80’s.
3- Candyman (Candyman)
- Year of release: 1992
- Director: Bernard Rose
- Cast: Virginia Masden, Tony Todd, Zander Berkeley, Casecat Toghns, Michael Calkin, Rasti Shomer, Bernard Rose, Michael Calkin
- IMDB User Rating to Movie: 6.7 out of 10
- Ratan Tommos Points to Movie: 79 out of 100
Kennedman is one of the most popular horror films of the 90s with some unforgettable sequences. The story is about Helen (Virginia Mudson), an anthropological student in Chicago who researchs urban legends for his thesis. During his studies, he encounters the legend of Kennedman (Tony Todd), a revenge -like hand, who is said to be summoned five times in front of the mirror by saying his name. He, along with his friend Bernadette (Casey Temponz), decides to examine the truth of this myth and suddenly sees himself as a predicament that cannot be abandoned.
Kennedman is not an ordinary horror film, displaying social and human wounds in the context of violence and darkness. This made by Bernard Rose is rooted in racial issues, and similar to “sinners” deals with themes such as salvation, sin, and confrontation with the past. Kennedman is one of the best cinematic adaptations of Clav Barker’s works and has a reconstruction version (2021) in which Tony Todd plays the role; Although the film received positive feedback from critics, it failed to satisfy fans of the original version.
2- We (US)
- Year of release: 2019
- Director: Jordan Peel
- Cast: Lupita Newongo, Winston Duke, Elizabeth Moss, Yahya Abdul Mottin II, Anna Diot, Jordan Peel, Kara Hoyard
- IMDB User Rating to Movie: 6.8 out of 10
- Ratan Tommos Points to Movie: 93 out of 100
Jordan Peel along with Ari Esther and Robert Metroz was the start of a new season for horror films; A future filmmaker who, at the same time, reminded the filmmakers, also has its own aesthetic genre to say, the genre that we have forgotten over time could be expensive, philosophical, sociological and, of course, controversial. “Ma”, the second by Peel, tells the story of the Wilson family traveling to a seaside house in Santa Cruz California. Adelaide (Lupita Nongo), Gibbe (Winston Duke) and their two children, Zura and Jason, intend to spend some time, but nothing goes according to the schedule.
Soon, this family is confronted with their own scary coordinates that have strange and threatening behaviors. This confrontation forces Wilson to fight for survival, but can it be out of this bottleneck? “Ma”, like “sinners,” enters the scary, but has other concerns and uses storytelling to explore complex human issues. The film, relying on the concept of “duality”, deals with class inequality and identity and tries to go beyond a stereotypical scary work.
1-30 days of night (30 days of Night)
- Year of release: 2007
- Director: David Slade
- Cast: Josh Hartnt, Melissa George, Danny Houston, Ben Foster, Mano Bennett, Mark Bon Jr., Mark Randall, Joel Ton
- IMDB User Rating to Movie: 6.6 out of 10
- Ratan Tommos Points to Movie: 50 out of 100
An adaptation of the comic collection of the same name tells the story of a small town in Alaska, which falls into complete winter darkness every year for thirty days. The sheriff Olsen (Josh Hartant) and his wife Stella (Melissa George), while preparing for this period, encounter a group of wild vampires led by Marlowe (Danny Houston) who use continuous darkness to hunt residents. Now Olsen and other survivors of the city must stand against these cruel creatures to survive.
“30 Days of the Night” is a violent film, and its perception of vampires is not similar to similar works. There is a lot of criticism of this made by David Slade, but we must consider it a loyal adaptation. Similar to “sinners”, here we are accompanied by people who have to deal with a dangerous and threatening force and are in an unexpected position. “30 Days of the Night” goes on a different path, but if you are looking for a crazy vampire horror movie, it’s what you need.
