First trailer for Ryan Coogler’s Sinners leaves the scariest parts to your imagination

There’s something wicked lurking in the Black Panther director’s new movie

We’ve seen Coogler direct powerful pieces of dramatic social commentary like Fruitvale Station and blockbuster genre features like the Black Panther films, but he’s turning to straight horror with his latest project. Set in the 1930s Jim Crow South, Sinners revolves around twin brothers (both played by Michael B. Jordan) who return to their small-town home hoping to start new lives, only to find something deeply sinister waiting for them. But at night, everyone’s fears become more concrete as eerie groups of strangers like Hailee Steinfeld’s character show up looking to be invited into the local juke joint, prompting regular patrons to barricade themselves inside.
