I was worried this wasn't going to live up to the hype but it definitely does. Content warning: violence, some gore
Sammie (Miles Caton), a young blues player, gets his big break playing the opening night at his cousins' new juke joint. Smoke (Michael B. Jordon) and Stack (Michael B. Jordon) made some money in Chicago before returning to their Mississippi hometown and are looking to build up (and profit off) the Black community. Sammie has a gift but gifts draw attention and that attention comes in the form of Remmick (Jack O'Connell).
No one spoiled this twist for me and I encourage all of you to go in as blind as you can but I can't not talk about it. **SPOILERS FOLLOW** Vampires. Irish folk-playing, step-dancing vampires. I hath screamed the loudest screm that has ever been scrummed. Ryan Coogler said From Dusk Til Dawn can eat his entire ass and he was correct and right to do so. Whew. **END SPOILERS**
Everyone in this is phenomenal. It was a bloody, fun ride all the way through. The soundtrack is also great. I immediately bought both it and the movie. This is going to be one I re-watch a bunch of times. Just solid, incredible work.
