Sinners (2025)

The legendary hustler twins Smoke and Stack suddenly return home to their racially segregated hometown in the American South to start over. They plan to open a juke joint where they – and other Black patrons – can dance, drink, and play music. But on opening night, a white folk trio of a particularly sinister kind shows up – the sort you definitely wouldn’t want to let into your joint.  

Michael B. Jordan stars opposite, well, Michael B. Jordan in this Oscar-winning vampire banger that is sexy, bloody, and fiercely musical. An instant, modern classic in the rich cinematic history of vampire films. 

The film is screened with English subtitles. 

Runtime: 127 min.

Before this screening of one of the great modern classics of vampire cinema, we will dive into the best and greatest horror films together with Film School student Jonatan Egholm Keis, when we invite you to a horror film quiz.
