Sinners - 2025 - 7/10

Brothers Smoke and Stack return from Chicago with loads of ill-gotten money.
They buy an old mill, intending to transform it into a juke joint.
Cousin Sammie, a budding bluesmith, is enlisted to help with musical entertainment.
Sammie’s playing is a siren call, however, for wild revelry, and for evil.
Setting, time and place are wonderfully done. 1930’s Mississippi, flatlands of cotton, scorching heat.
The joint is a success. Rowdy, seething, sweaty, until it attracts another element.
A hard turn enters. Bloodletting along with a shared hive sensibility.
