Sinners - Black History Month 2026

Another chance to see the Ryan Coogler masterpiece on the big screen... and on Halloween weekend! Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their Mississippi hometown in the 1930s to open a juke joint and start again. But as night falls, they discover that an even greater evil—a sinister supernatural presence—is waiting to welcome them back. Written and directed by visionary filmmaker Ryan Coogler (Black Panther, Creed) and starring Michael B. Jordan in a dual role, Sinners made history as one of the most acclaimed horror films of the decade. A stunning blend of Southern Gothic horror and rich period drama, the film fuses vampire lore with the deeply rooted origins of the Mississippi Delta blues. Beyond the scares, Sinners stands as a powerful celebration of Black culture and music under the oppressive shadow of the Jim Crow South—making it an iconic, history-making masterpiece to experience this Black History Month. Halloween dress-up is highly encouraged!
