Review by Tim RobinsTrying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back…SPOILERS AHEAD!Sinners is a sumptuous evocation of African-American lives in the deep South that revisits tropes from horror films such as The Thing and From Dusk Till Dawn (1996). I’m not saying rush to see it. I am saying that, if you are looking for a new film to watch at the cinema, go watch this.
