Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler’s genre-defying vampire drama, Sinners, is set to make its streaming debut on Prime Video on December 26th, 2025, following a theatrical run that captivated audiences and critics alike. The film has already garnered widespread praise for its bold blend of Southern Gothic storytelling, horror, and blues-infused musicality, solidifying its place as one of the year’s standout releases.
Directed, written, and produced by Ryan Coogler, Sinners stars Michael B. Jordan in a tour-de-force dual performance as identical twins Elijah “Smoke” and Elias “Stack” Moore. Set in 1932 Mississippi, the film follows the brothers as they return to Clarksdale to open a juke joint for the local Black community—a venture that quickly draws the attention of supernatural forces, including an ominous Irish vampire, Remmick. The supporting cast features Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Benson Miller, and Delroy Lindo, each contributing to the film’s rich and immersive atmosphere.
Produced by Coogler’s Proximity Media and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures following a heated bidding war, the film was shot in Louisiana from April to July 2024 using IMAX 15-perf and Ultra Panavision 70 cameras. Cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw made history as the first woman to shoot a film in large-format IMAX, capturing the atmospheric landscapes and intimate interiors of the Deep South in breathtaking detail.
Musically, Sinners distinguishes itself by placing blues at the storyline’s core, with a score by Ludwig Göransson performed on a 1932 Dobro Cyclops resonator guitar. The music was recorded live with blues legends Cedric Burnside and Brittany Howard, creating a sonic world that elevates the film’s eerie and emotional beats.
Since its premiere at AMC Lincoln Square on April 3rd, 2025, Sinners has earned $367 million globally and received near-universal praise: 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, 84 on Metacritic, and an “A” from CinemaScore audiences. The accolades extend to award recognition, including Critics’ Choice Super Awards for Best Horror Movie and Best Actor (Jordan), a Fangoria Chainsaw Award for Best Director (Coogler), and a Grammy nomination for Best Score Soundtrack Album for Visual Media.
As Sinners lands on Prime Video this holiday season, audiences can finally experience the cinematic artistry, electrifying performances, and genre-bending storytelling that has made the film a cultural phenomenon. Jordan and Coogler have delivered a film that is as haunting as it is mesmerizing. As a result, a Southern Gothic masterpiece came and conquered which proved once again that horror, history, and music can collide to spellbinding effect.
