Sinners Movie Flaws: 3 Major Plot Holes That Ruin a Near-Perfect Vampire Film

BBG News

The response to it has been simply amazing and rightfully so, given its ability to skillfully combine different genres. It’s set in the past, offers action-packed scenes, delves into emotional dramas, explores romantic relationships, and even includes musical numbers when necessary.

In the past, Ryan Coogler has exhibited a profound sense of emotional resonance through films like “Fruitvale Station”, “Creed”, and not one, but two “Black Panther” movies. Yet, this latest production isn’t without its issues. Some significant plot inconsistencies mar what could have been an almost flawless work, prompting viewers to speculate, conjecture, and imaginatively bridge some narrative gaps.

Sinners’ Cult Forgets to Protect Remmick

Remmick’s Disciples Don’t Stop Smoke From Attacking Him

In an alternate version, we could say: The vampire cult of sinners is headed by Remmick, who aims to transform every guest at a 1932 Mississippi party hosted on a mill owned by another character. Meanwhile, Stack and Smoke engage in combat within the building, while outside, Remmick confronts Sammie, the cousin of twins, with the intention of converting him and utilizing his magical musical talents to conjure the deceased.

Instead, we find that Smoke had a secret agreement with Stack, slipped away from the gathering, navigated his way through the water, and ultimately assassinated the leader. This sequence of events seems rather convenient for the plot development. It’s questionable how Smoke could have bypassed the cult to reach the water.

In the movie, although Smoke possesses a mystical necklace that protects him from being bitten or killed, he can still be subdued. There is no scene depicting him making a passage into the river. The acolytes don’t make any noise or inform their superior about the danger. Instead, it seems as if Smoke instantaneously appears at his target in an unexpected and puzzling ending.

Sinners’ Remmick Inexplicably Has a Weakened Mental Connection

Stack and Mary Conveniently Aren’t Brainwashed Anymore

In this narrative, it’s implied that all the vampires are interconnected, with Remmick seemingly holding dominion over them. This connection allows him to access their memories, share in their sorrow, and bestow upon them intense joy. The state of being a vampire offers them a sense of tranquility, which is why characters like Stack and others don’t hesitate to transform their loved ones. However, the story doesn’t reveal how Stack manages to violate the covenant and forge a separate agreement with Smoke instead.

In the universe established by Sinners, all characters are loyal to their master. However, it’s not made clear why Remmick fails to perceive Stack’s betrayal nor that Stack intends to intervene. As outlined in the story, Remmick should be aware of Stack’s deceit and Mary (played by Hailee Steinfeld) leaving the group, but these events are only hinted at in flashbacks without any reasoning or additional context provided to explain this sudden change.

If Sammie had sung to disrupt or lessen their mental bond, that would have been logical. However, it seems like it’s done more for the dramatic impact of sending Smoke to the boss, and to set up a scene in Chicago, 1992, where Stack and Mary converse with an older Sammie about the war.

Sinners’ Flock Doesn’t Flee the Sunlight

Some of Remmick’s Acolytes Have Reason to Not Give Up Their Lives

As a passionate film buff, I must say that “Sinners” adheres to the typical conventions often seen in vampire films – garlic, stakes, silver, or sunlight can all be lethal to these creatures of the night. Yet, it seems that the cult’s memory fails them when they find themselves witnessing Remmick’s grisly demise. The sun is gradually peeking over the tranquil lake, casting a radiant glow that offers an escape route – either into the nearby mill or the safety of the woods. Some even have vehicles with hidden trunk spaces to take refuge in. However, inexplicably, they choose not to seize this opportunity and instead stand there, watching the sunrise, ultimately meeting their fiery demise under the relentless rays of the dawn.

Those who are optimistic might lament their leader’s demise, finding it debilitating. However, once he is killed, they rediscover freedom and a renewed sense of purpose. At this juncture, they could have fled, returning to their former lives. Some even had families they wished to convert. Beyond the desire for autonomy and the urge to spread their belief system, they continued to crave human blood. Regrettably, the reason they chose self-sacrifice remains unclear, since Remmick would never have wanted such an outcome.

In simpler terms, Remmick views the other vampires as his kin, thus the remaining fragments of their mental bond would prompt them to conceal themselves, given his strong survival instincts. The racist members within the clan might find reason to surrender upon defeat at the hands of Black people, but others may continue for various reasons. However, the sudden destruction of all villains feels unexpected and unnatural within the context of the storyline.

Sinners is now playing in theaters.
