Not a bad movie by any mean, but god damn it, it is overrated.
Just watched the Sinners
Definitely. Loved the cinematography and art direction though. The “sequence” that everyone was talking about was seriously blown out of proportion as well.
Cumskin ytoid incels.
I like it though but I do agree with you to an extend.
feel like this is one of those movie where people (mostly impressionable liberal) blow it out of its proportions just because it's "black" story.
Like it isn't a bad movie by any mean, but really? movie of the year?
come on.
I came here to talk about vampire kino but I know you guys are racist so I didn't expect anyone to be talking about it
I really liked the music all the way thru. I wish the Choctaw had a musical sequence and that we got to see Sammie's summoning powers more than once..maybe it would've been too corny for old Sammie to play for Stack and Mary and have Smoke and Annie come back but I think I would've liked it
indiewire.com
Studios quite literally fear this film because they think it'll give directors more leverage.
I thought the film was heading in that direction, and I would have liked it to desu even though I loved the movie as it is
This movie was not good. Not that bad, but it was kind of a 5/10 movie. No idea why people claim it to be "duh best movie of the year".
I'm just going to assume that everyone who likes this movie has a murderous hatred of White people.
Is it like From Dusk till Dawn mixed with Django Unchained?
Starts as Peaky Blinders, turns into From Dusk Till Dawn and even sprinkles a little bit of Commando by the end.
Woah! My mind is totally BLOWN!
No idea why people claim it to be "duh best movie of the year".
Really? you can't figure it out?
movie about Irish people being evil vampires, whose culture and music are cringe and shitty, who steal the music and culture from black people whose culture and music is sexy and cool
made by Jews
K
It's a solid 7/10, will invite my friends to watch it when it hits streaming.
I guess it's just people haven't seen From Dusk till Dawn, the film this flick is imitating. Even the brother characters are criminals.
It reeks of capeshit what with its quips and multiple post-credit scenes. Completely overrated because it's about blacks. I find it funny they had them team up with asians.
The scene that everyone is creaming their pants about broke my immersion and took me out of the movie completely. Feels like something mediocre I would watch on TNT on a Saturday afternoon. My theatre was full of suprisingly well-behaved blacks and they all clapped at the end.
movie about Irish people being evil vampires
Remmick being Irish isn't a coincidence, at that point in American history the Irish were just as much of an oppressed minority as blacks, asians, and native americans. As well, Ireland has actually had a longstanding relationship with the Choctaw people, so it ties into that as well. Remmick isn't evil because he's white, he's evil because despite having about the most benevolent ends of any vampire in recent cinema history, he's still a bloodthirsty, lusty monster that kills and controls human beings.
Good.
If Letterboxd shitlibs sperg over it I know it's mediocre
this anon was accurate ()
Not as good as Django Unchained, no.
It's entertaining enough, I'm not going to rate it lower just because someone rates it higher.
LEVITATING!
Completely overrated because it's about blacks
While this is true, the movie itself is not as bad as other anons claimed, it's just overrated.
The scene that everyone is creaming their pants about broke my immersion
That was peak, but I guess it wasn't your thing.
Why would I ever watch a wypipo bad movie in 2025? I don’t own funkopops.
It isn't about that though, it's about coming to the film with that expectation of being THE best movie of 2025 just to find out that it ain't even that good.
If this is the best movie of 2025 then we're fucking doomed.
I find it funny they had them team up with asians.
Almost as funny as when the #stopasianhate movement stopped after they found out the perpetrators were black.
The scene that everyone is creaming their pants about
what scene?
the best scene in the movie was the old drunk telling the story about his friend getting lynched and looking like he was about to cry but he immediately started a song instead. i guess the entire scene was almost cut out of the movie but the actor fought for it and said it was important to be in there
Wait, was there another end credits scene after the one in the bar with Buddy Guy? i left after that one
I find it funny they had them team up with asians.
You do realize that is how things were back then, right?
Did the scene where they show the chinese owned both the white store and black store flew by your mind?
The Asians in the US were smart and played the racial situation to their advantage by selling to both sides.
Nah, they'd be crazy to cut that scene out, that's literally the core of blues.
The movie is barely going to make a few million in profit, if that. They wasted too much money on a horror movie and have to give up all the rights in 25 years, in addition to giving the director and leads massive gross points. If anything, directors will lose leverage because of this. It needs over $250 million worldwide theatrical to break even and will be lucky to get to $225 million. WB marketing is just hyping it up as a hit because all studios are desperate for any positive news. This will only get to profitability when WB works in their MAX streaming bullshit revenue numbers.
Yeah, Sammie played this little light of mine, that's it
I saw an interesting point that you could have removed the vampires entirely from the movie and would probably have the same end result because the klan was coming anyway
agreed. i guess the monologue was originally a lot longer but it was cut in half for the final product. it was at the first screening where the entire moment was cut and the actor had to argue about it
basically a scene where a black guitarist that has some sort of a hidden mystique power where he can use his music ability to conjure the past, the present and the future altogether but it all plays itself as something that's similar to a montage where it connects blue to rock music and from rock music to hip hop.
the music was great and I know I explained this in the worst way possible but this is the gist of that.
For real?
damn, I'm glad he fought to keep that in.
That would make it a very boring movie desu, this is From Dusk Till Dawn but better, YES I FUCKING SAID IT FUCK U
Omg, they're ripping off original filmmaker Quentin Tarantino??
jesus, this movie sounds gay af. another overhyped piece of shit like longlegs
I feel like the movie was pro segregation? The vampire was all about color blindness and unity but it came off a sinister cause. Plus the brothers rejected them from the outset for being white, and in end justified to only be around blacks.
I originally thought that it was magic, but then I realized that Sammie is like in 1930s, and he played all the way to the 90s, so it wasn't that he conjured the future and the past, but rather the past influenced his music, and his music inspired others, the DJ was probably doing a remix of Sammie playing, that's why he yelled his name like that.
These type of comments make people think you're a shill.
Thought you should know.
You may actually be one...
How are you this stupid?
Are you a zoomer or something? Dusk till Dawn is actually a great film, this is a black copycat but preachy and not that fun
It's not a Tarantino movie tho
Yes, there's twerking.
Does it actually have a good soundtrack with period music or is it modern t-pain autotune nigger trap?
The movie was actually about how black people can't have shit.
The vampires represent the aggressive "fake harmony" narrative that people like to spin
black people made blues and now white people want it, old guy's friend got lynched the moment he got money, the moment they have a little place to themselves aka the juke joint, white people want in because "now now, you don't want to be pro segregation now, right?", not to mention the place would've gotten shot up by the KKK in the end anyway
still not watching it
The premise is around white people not wanting segregation because of blues music? You're asking me to suspend my disbelief too far.
boy, is you stupid?
Nosferatu was better
Remove the vampires and the Klan actually ambush and kill everyone. The twins' plans were fucked from the start multiple ways, between the Klan conspiring to kill them, their customers not having actual money, and the implication the Irish and Italian mafias were going to track them down sooner or later.
Are you a zoomer
tho
sorry but the movie is way more fun than From Dusk Till Dawn
Love the acting, everyone compliment each other well (thank to Michael B. Jordan)
Nosferatu was trash, Eggers has never made a good movie.
I did think about it, but it's more of a "Because of the KKK, we need to segregate our community"
you have to remember that it was the same where they literally lynched Niggers for just flirting with a white woman.
The blues was popularised and refined into what it became by white people doing minstrel shows.
only 3000 documented lynchings in American history, that's less than one 9/11, don't be so hysterical.
difference movie, but yeah sure.
youtube.com
sorry for the shitty link, i couldn't find the actual full interview.
don't be so hysterical
if you were a nigger, you'd act the same way as they did.
It's retarded to bring back segregation in 2025 (As we've seen during the BLM protest by the white liberals) but in 1930? it does make perfect sense.
Stop saying nigger as if you're based. That's not your word. You have to actually be racist to say it.
3000
Rookie numbers. Black people making yt extinct yesterday.
okay porch monkey
WE WUUZ VAMPIRES N SHIET
I only watched the hailee scenes, she looks pretty hot as a vampire in the 30's and in the 90's even more. before the movies ending there's a timejump to the 90's
Someone who likes this explain to me how this is good.
4/5, 8/10
Was great, pacing was way off after they kicked everyone out of the juke joint, wish they spent at least 15 more minutes with the vamps and fighting them
Entire family of whites left the theater when Smoke gunned down the KKK lmao
Maybe viewing the scene through a tiny muted webm with a gambling logo isn’t gonna allow you to experience the scene and understand why it’s praised, yeah?
I saw it in theatres.
this movie is Quentin Tarantino wet dream orgasm but because he is not black he will never feel to have a black 9 inch penis. I saw that H bra breasts and I said...this is the onlny black movie and i like it. and yes in that black cuck way...
One dude in this thread is fuckin obsessed
t. kanye
some nigger trash
Even if I still had Regal Unlimited I wouldn't watch it not true, saw Forge, 1992 and Bull Street, would've saw this trash
Damn, black people can't even have original work around you, huh? O' Watchman. O' Gatekeeper, what is your next wish?
No idea why people claim it to be "duh best movie of the year"
It starts with "n" and ends with "iggers"
No digital transition or? Asian woman's lack of rhythm ruined it. Coogler is rightfully the blacks golden boy to compile all the changing genres they pioneered
Post stub
who the fuck watch a movie and think all of that ?
Baffling movie. I was curious if this hack director could achieve something with an original creation after running from the Marvel plantation, but no. Same woke afro-confused, one-dimensional, juvenile racial pandering shlock as Wakanda Kendrick Lamar nonsense, sadly. From african-americans who never set foot in Africa, from a black director celebrated and earning millions to make big movies, who grew up under black president Obama and DEI but pretend racism and oppression is everywhere in USA.
There is one scene that everyone raves about: a choreographed long take where the blues player "summons" the history of "black" music, from tribal African dancers to modern hip hop vulgar trash with trap and twerking or whatever. Even if you appreciate what can be good about black music like jazz and soul, you should see this as a collapse of black culture not worthy of being celebrated, the whole hood materialistic money gangster rap culture shit that's been nothing but a poison for blacks.
Thematically it's so confused because it doesn't question any of the underlying meaning behind all of it, it's just a shallow idea for a gimmick video.
Tonally, it's an interesting shift because it hints at the movie going in a weird supernatural dimension with music opening time rifts... except it never gets explored in the movie again. Feels more like a statement or a music video concept disconnected from the rest of the movie.
Filmmaking wise, it's a generic long take, well made sure but copy pasted, how many of virtuoso long takes like this have we seen recently? Nothing remarkable to differentiate this one if not for the gimmick. It's no Onions Cuba ffs.
Other funny thing is everyone praises the mix of black music, blues with tribal and hip hop sounds but it was all composed by a white guy. So much for black music celebration by a black director. Also for zero reason at all, there's some Asian characters in the mix and an Asian dancer. Whole thing is so confused, dumb wokeshit.
One of the last scenes is MJB killing dozens of one-dimensional KKK caricatures out of nowhere. It's so dumb and shoved down your throat. "see, subtext"? It's like, the same underlying subtext as the end of Night of Living Dead but done without any kind of sophistication or meaning. But with even less subtlety than Romero (who did it when it was meaningful). You know, the guy who put the "here, politically charge subtext" sign in horror movies discourse, looks subtle by comparison.
Or, it's a Tarantino revenge fantasy but without his filmmaking talent and movie genre understanding. It's really dumb, so confused, because it doesn't work as a vampire movie either. It's a half-vampire half-body snatchers movie that doesn't really understand the mythology rules of either genres so they don't mix well at all. So, is this a movie about community or racial unity or mixing or freedom or... it doesn't know.
The final scene is also embarrassingly bad and makes no sense or carries zero emotional payoff despite trying so hard to look like it does. Oh the subtext again "that night... we wuz free". What? The musician kept playing since then and blacks have never been freer than then. So what is it? Whether you take the plot at face value or see the subtext metaphor, both make no sense in the stupid context of the story. Just some pseudo-deep way to end a shitty hack movie that only retards will find meaningful.
Rest of movie is a poorly written and directed and drawn out vampire movie. Characters constantly making stupid decisions to advance the plot, corny unfunny lines, action scenes are shot terribly, it lasts 2 hours 15 when it could have lasted a lean 1h30 and be a decent b-movie but no every movie now needs 1 hour of exposition before it can start. There's a gimmick where MJB plays twins and it adds nothing to the movie, his performance is completely unremarkable, and the rest of the ensemble cast is just as transparent. Praise is baffling. It's still marvelshit.
Ah, shit I forgot seeing that she's in this. DAMN
Well, you see because niggers. It must be good. If it isn't you racist
People with an iq above 80
lynched Niggers for just flirting with a white woman.
*sexually assaulting/raping
Blacks feel they have so little pride in a white majority country, even this gloating by treating black music as one big IP s a huge deal. The Goransson collab is hypocritical to me, cos it's not white theft or appropriation if the boss is black? Lots of black stage parents and execs still got their cut, just not as many as the top CEOs (tiny hats) but the technical staff are no more racist than Goransson. He's doing popcorn not dissertation, but hip hop being turned into gangsta rap is a fed psyop he just accepts at face value when it hurt their younger gen.
armond white is that you?
Solid 9 out of 10 for me which means a perfect movie for me in order to get a 10 out of 10 you have to go above perfection
the Moral of this movie is white women ruin
everything also Remick did nothing wrong except try to force Christianity I mean vampirism onto Sammy dued literally found out the klans plan and immediately decide to come to this place to save them and just so happen to hear Sammy's Music and decided he needed him so he could connect to his ancestors
Lewis Charles Levin (November 10, 1808 – March 14, 1860) was an American politician, newspaper editor and anti-Catholic social activist. He was one of the founders of the American Party in 1842 and served as a member of the U. S. House of Representatives representing Pennsylvania's 1st congressional district from 1845 to 1851. Levin was the second person of Jewish descent elected to the United States Congress after David Levy Yulee.
Levin supported the nativist Americanism ideology espoused by some northern Protestants at the expense of Catholics.[1][2] He was a dynamic orator on temperance and political issues; however, many of his speeches spread xenophobia.[3] Levin played a leading role in inciting the Philadelphia nativist riots which led to the killing of over 20 Irish Americans;
Catholics were much more antisemitic than protestants at the time.
I can tell you're either a black woman or a gay man. The two are so similar.
(thank to Michael B. Jordan)
he plays the same character in every movie so when they stopped wearing hats i could not figure out which brother he was trying to be
Haha no but now I wanna know what he would think, 100% he would destroy this piece of shit with similar arguments. It's not even defensible "just as a badass vampire movie". Some fuckers are going around comparing it to Near Dark or Carpenter's Vampires. Or some will say it's so erotically charged like a good vampire movie should be, especially when it tries so hard to look like it's "risky" like ooh party-fueled racemixing in the 30's: there are two shitty sex scenes, one mouth-to-mouth spit moment and they have nothing to do with the vampirism. It's just more Jordan Peele type, studio-safe, devoid of imagination slop masquerading as "future cult classic" kino, will be forgotten in a month as usual.
says nigger in his movies
is pure white
makes better black kino than blacks
He watched his mom get fucked by so many black guys he became a more efficient black filmmaker than even actual black guys. They will never top Django.
Nah but I heard it on a black woman's podcast and it change how I saw the movie because yeah Mary did kind of fuck everything up for everyone and did not give a single shit about the consequences her actions would have brought to the people around her same with the Asian lady though she was far more understandable even though the sun would have came up in like five minutes tops
same energy as Black Panther, Jordan Peele, HBO Watchmen and Lovecraft Country, how do you call it? "wewuzcore"?
I personally think the drool looking like cum insinuates that vampires in this universe do not feed biting and killing is how they " reproduce"
That’s why spike lee hates him so much. He’s jealous Quentin makes more authentic black movies than Spike’s cornball ass does
black-asian racial solidarity against evil KKK whities
intersectionality is such bullshit lmao, no one more racist against blacks than asians, no one more violent against asians than blacks
niggercore
read dozens of lboxd """reviews""" and half of them recycle the same talking points "i was levitating", do ctrl+ levit on that page you'll see, they're all shills or morons copy pasting from the same PR campaign document
Just watched Black Panther and the weird thing is they have modern Nigerian or Kenyan accents which I think have British colonial influence but even if not they've been isolated so long they should have a Wakandan accent. It sounds so weird for them to just have normal nigger accents.
So this movie is just black people circlejerk exactly how it looks in the commercials? Wild innit
there were not enough of my beloved fucking injuns in this film. The choctaws were really cool and deserved tons of screentime
hollywood better fucking stop neglecting injuns, there is kino waiting to happen. prey should have been predators vs mississippians, not fucking watered down plainsfags
dang I didn't think about that, great interpretation
get a good underused black actor like Delroy (the best in his cast)
underappreciated actor, can finally give him a meaty role
just his presence he brings that "blues" quality effortlessly unlike tryhard mjb
just keep him as a secondary comic relief with marvel quips
"anyone smell that? I just shat myself"
visionary director, movie of the year
black people made blues and now white people want it
GIVE THE GUITAR BACK THEN NIGGER
you can rob a train, but you can't steal this pussy
This is the reason I hate cinephiles. Such enormous faggots.
youtube.com
Reminder that black blues music was literally ripped from white scotch Irish folk music and later popular tunes written by whites.
Is this one of those movies where it look like a bunch of niggers in front of a green screen?
Why not just answer the fucking question instead of posting a bunch of JewTube links?
It was unrelenting niggerslop, bad script, bad characters, i wouldnt say bad acting. The nigger dance scene almost had me do a spit take in the theater it was so bad. The nigger director did was niggers do best and completely raped the movie. What couldve actually been an interesting movie about the supernatural mythology of blues became a BLACK PEOPLE ARE COOL WHITEYS ARE BAD DONT YOU GET IT?? capeshit tier trash.
Look up a Ryan Coogler interview. He has the stereotypical California hood nigga accent.
It's very off-putting.
ayoo stack let chuddie in he wit me
nah sister, chuddie's a cracka, cant let him in
chuddie, show em u got moves
*chuddie moves*
dayumn white boi, u can come in
he aight
yeah, it was a missed opportunity with that character and the fact that the entire monologue almost was left on the cutting room floor is a glaring flaw. there definitely was potential though
I thought the movie was good but people saying it is the best movie of the decade and will win oscars makes me push back a bit. i don't know if i'm just being a contrarian or if a movie like this just can't hit "movie of the year" territory for me
Other funny thing is everyone praises the mix of black music, blues with tribal and hip hop sounds but it was all composed by a white guy.
that's what I thought as well LOL
But yeah, I respect your criticism. It's not just "le black = le bad" but rather something with actual thoughts behind it.
there's some Asian characters in the mix and an Asian dancer
The reason for that is because the guitarist guy has a power to conjure the spirits through their bloodline and culture, that's why you get to see the Chinese dancer, because there was an Asian character there.
tried watching an itw and stopped when he mumbled "kna what im sayan" 10 times in 2 minutes, completely unintelligible and low iq nigger
Let me guess, no innocent black men were kill during the lynching right?
race baity
jabs at white people
”white people music is corny”
Irish dancing portrayed in a mocking way
KKK out of no where, and they’re the real villains?
strange emphasis on pussy eating, whether it’s multiple characters discussing it or performing the act
cringy black history month dance montage that goes on for too long
I mean it was a good movie, but yeah it was incredibly overrated and a little on the nose at times.
hailey whatever is white yet no white musicians, curious, where was the ghost of mozart and eminem and taylor swift or the dude who invented the guitar the black guy was playing with?
Hailee Steinfeld.
white people music is corny
Irish dancing portrayed in a mocking way
i don't think that was the intention at all. felt like a way to lure people in because of how sweet it sounded. all the characters even said they enjoyed it and the director has said he loves irish music. i think it's just implied that the demon had taken an irish musician
probably, as were whites, but it wasn't systemic. But why should I take you seriously if, in the 21st century, you use it as a justification for collectively vilifying white Americans, considering the ocean of blood that blacks are responsible for?
You're so horrified by violence that you're willing to re-litigate the morality of a handful of lynchings from over a century ago, why doesn't the daily chaos, carnage and mayhem that blacks inflict upon whites and themselves in the present day ever register as anything meaningful. Is that worthy of a movie?
TRVTH NVKE
Not trying to racebait like half this thread, but what was with the Hailee Steinfeld 1/4 black stuff? Like the line of the kid asking "what are you?". Did he sense she was somewhat black and that's why they felt alright around her or something?
I almost was annoyed that they spoiled that she was a vampire in the trailers but at least it gave the impression she was a villain all along and it was actually way more tragic in context.
I think the fact that she was hanging around at all and had history with all of them suggested that she had to be something other than white. He just couldn't imagine a normal "white" person having a history with his cousins. They made her an octaroon because they wanted to have that kind of character be part of the ensemble.
that makes sense, thanks.
evil Irish vampires that attack black people to steal their souls and their rock & roll
LOL
Wrong. The Irish vampire didn't want to steal their souls or their music. He wanted to turn the one kid into a vampire because he had the power to invoke the spirit of anyone's ancestors with his music, and the Irish vampire wanted to commune with his ancestors. In fact, rather than stealing the blues music, once he turned everyone he imbued them with the ability to play Irish music. He wanted to assimilate.
It's Get Out all over again, average movie overrated to hell and back because it has black people in it
Is this AI?
damn. based movie knower. i was just quoting something Shane Gillis said about the movie that made me laugh. lol
