      That’s the same sort of hot take when they say horror is ‘anti-women’. So much horror is written by women, all the way back to Mary Shelley, and probably before her.

      After all, women are usually the survivors of horror books and films. They don’t call it a ‘final man’.

    2. Tell me you’ve only seen two black directed horror films without telling me you’ve only seen two black directed horror films.

    3. > ”Whine whine whine”

      Mass social media was probably the worst thing to happen to us as a society.

      The fuckwits who had to stand on the corner and yell their dumb shit in order to be heard can now do so from from the comfort of their basements and even be paid for it if it aligns with Elon’s nazi views.

      I miss the days where we didnt have to hear every idiots opinion on something.

    5. YT ppl be like the Irish were oppressed too. Ok then shut up and go make a movie about then

      Two out of the three people in that picture are LITERALLY in the KKK and were planning on killing all of them. The actual vampire was arguably the least evil antagonist in the movie.

      I truly can’t stand historically illiterate people. Brain so dense there’s no room for nuance or common sense

    8. Sinners did have revenge porn in it. But that was like just blowing off some steam after the horror movie was done.

    9. The movie goes out of its way to humanize remmick with his backstory. I feel like the movie focuses more on criticizing religion as a tool of oppression rather than any sort of anger towards all white people

      this is one of those takes that sounds wild until you actually think about the setting 😭 like… 1932 mississippi?? what did you expect 💀

    11. Some people just watch movies happen in front of them and don’t think about anything beyond the literal actions happening on the screen. The point of Sinners isn’t just “white vs black,” it’s “Christianity was forced on communities like Irish people and enslaved black people and was then weaponized to destroy them from within.” The vampires are a metaphor for forced conversion, and that’s why the KKK (a Christian hate group) is the human villain group and why Sammy survives by using his culture (represented by his uncle’s guitar) as a tool against indoctrination (becoming a vampire/joining the church like his father wants). Not to mention other things like Annie’s hoodoo and ancestral knowledge being what helps them identify the threat for what it is. This isn’t me reading into things to deeply, Remmick literally says most of that in fewer words lol

    12. Revenge porn against *checks notes* a thousand year old Celtic vampire. Does the dumbass not realize that the Vampire isnt actually a southern white person let alone an American…?

      Hell, I seem to remember the vampire even talking about watching as his nation/people were stamped out due to Christianity.

      These are the same people to applaud Inglorious Bastards for the same revenge porn btw

      If they actually watched it they would know he was protecting his brother from being killed by them.

    15. The villains portrayal is tragic. Yeah. The gunning down of the Klan was a fuck yeah moment, but that was just a framing device. Rennick’s story is way more nuanced. He remembers being free, but he can’t touch it anymore. He remembers the songs and the dances, but he can only perform them, not live them. He sided with the vampires. So did Stack. He’ll end up there someday too.
