A new horror film that fans have called a “masterpiece” is now available to stream at home, with some even saying it’s the best movie of the year so far. Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler, has taken the world by storm with its mix of supernatural thrills, dark humour, and blues music.
Set in Mississippi during the 1930s, the film follows twin brothers Smoke and Stack, both played by Michael B. Jordan, as they return to their hometown hoping to start over. But their plans are quickly derailed by a mysterious force that arrives one night at their newly opened juke joint.
The film is now available to buy or rent on Amazon Prime Video in the UK and US, as well as Apple TV and other major platforms.
It premiered in cinemas in April and has since earned more than £275 million at the global box office.
Sinners has been widely praised for its originality, storytelling, and powerful performances.
It currently holds a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes after 75 critic reviews, a score higher than Coogler’s earlier hits Creed and Black Panther.
One fan wrote on IMDb: “This is my favourite movie so far to come out in 2025.”
Another described it as “the best horror of 2025 without a doubt,” adding: “Coogler wraps you up in a beautifully crafted world with fascinating characters.”
The film has also been celebrated for its music. Featuring a blues soundtrack by composer Ludwig Göransson, viewers have called the score “the best thing about the whole movie”.
One reviewer said: “The music took me on a journey and was the best thing about the whole movie.
“Found myself going from dancing to having a jumpscare to laughing. It was a thrilling rollercoaster!”
Others were even more direct: “Masterpiece, faultless, superb! I could easily finish the review right there with those three simple words.”
Sinners is set in the Jim Crow-era Deep South and blends horror with history.
Inspired in part by the legend of bluesman Robert Johnson selling his soul to the devil, the story touches on West African spiritual traditions, haunting folklore, and racial injustice.
