4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Warner;
\nHorror;
\nBox Office $278.58 million;
\n$30.99 DVD<\/a>, $38.99 Blu-ray<\/a>, $46.99 UHD<\/a>, $58.99 UHD BD Steelbook<\/a>;
\nRated \u2018R\u2019 for strong bloody violence, sexual content and language.
\nStars Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, Delroy Lindo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Writer-director Ryan Coogler delivers an imaginative infusion of music and horror in this tale of vampires attacking a juke joint in the rural south in 1932.<\/p>\n

Michael B. Jordan stars in a dual role as the Smokestack twins, who are returning home to Mississippi after years working as enforcers for the Chicago mob. On their first day back, they turn an abandoned sawmill into a blues club for the local community, despite warnings from the local pastor about the sins such music might inspire.<\/p>\n

Sure enough, as the place gives rise to a party so rockin\u2019 the music transcends time and space, it also attracts the unwanted attention of a local gang of vampires, who promptly attack, subjecting those inside to the horrifying ordeal of fighting to survive the night.<\/p>\n

Filmed with large-format cameras, Sinners<\/em> looks spectacular in 4K, using its variable aspect ratio to heighten the impact of the film\u2019s visual style. The film also tells a not-so-subtle allegory for the black experience in the Depression era, with vampires standing in for the KKK.<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s home entertainment presentation includes seven deleted scenes that run more than 18 minutes in total.<\/p>\n

There are also five featurettes that provide about 75 minutes of solid behind-the-scenes material. These include the 32-and-a-half-minute \u201cDancing with the Devil: The Making of Sinners<\/em>,\u201d which delves into Coogler\u2019s inspiration for the project and the effort it took to pull it off; the 14-minute \u201cBlues in the Night: The Music of Sinners<\/em>,\u201d a look at the creation of the film\u2019s soundtrack; the 11-minute \u201cThicker Than Blood: Becoming the Smokestack Twins,\u201d which examines Jordan\u2019s performance; The eight-minute \u201cSpirits in the Deep South,\u201d a glimpse into the religious aspects of the story; and the 11-minute \u201cThe Wages of Sin: The Creature Effects of Sinners<\/em>,\u201d which explores the film\u2019s use of prosthetic makeup and other methods of producing blood and gore.<\/p>\n
