Delroy Lindo and Omar Benson Miller Star in Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, a Southern Gothic Horror Rooted in Supernatural Terror

In the South, sins don’t die—they wait.
Ryan Coogler’s Sinners brings Delroy Lindo, Omar Benson Miller, and Michael B. Jordan face to face with a darkness that never left home.

Ryan Coogler returns with Sinners, a haunting new supernatural horror film set in the 1930s Jim Crow South. The film follows twin brothers—played by Michael B. Jordan—who return to their hometown in search of redemption, only to find something far more sinister has been waiting for them.

Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, the brothers soon realize that home isn’t a refuge—it’s a reckoning.

Starring Delroy Lindo, Omar Benson Miller, Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Miles Caton, and Li Jun Li, Sinners explores themes of generational trauma, identity, and the buried horrors of America's past. With a $90 million budget and sweeping visuals captured by acclaimed cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), the film blends historical nuance with supernatural dread.

Produced by Ryan Coogler, Zinzi Coogler, and Sev Ohanian, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, Sinners is set to hit U.S. theaters on April 18, 2025.

In a recent interview, journalist Venus D. Thomas chopped it up with stars Delroy Lindo and Omar Benson Miller, who opened up about the emotional depth of the film and the visionary power of Coogler’s direction. Both actors spoke to the gravity of the story and its potential to resonate far beyond the horror genre.

With Sinners, Coogler enters a new cinematic terrain—blending Southern Gothic storytelling with horror, fantasy, and a piercing social consciousness.
