In October 1932, a battered Sammie Moore climbs out of his car and limps into his father Jedediah's small church in Clarksdale, Mississippi, his face marred by a deep clawed gash and a broken guitar neck clutched in his hands. Pastor Jedediah presses him for confession and demands that Sammie renounce the blues, calling music a sinful lure; Sammie remains silent, holding the splintered wood as if it were an anchor. The film then moves back a single day to show how the events that brought him here unfold.

Elijah and Elias Moore return from Chicago after seven years working for the Chicago Outfit; the brothers are known locally as Smoke and Stack and they carry with them the swagger of men who have made money by other people's rules. Using the cash they filched in the city, they buy an abandoned sawmill from a local landowner named Hogwood and begin converting it into a juke joint aimed at serving the Black community in and around Clarksdale. Smoke and Stack recruit a small troupe to staff and supply the opening: their cousin Sammie, a young guitarist; Delta Slim, an older blues pianist and harmonica player; Cornbread, a field worker they hire to act as bouncer; Grace and Bo Chow, a Chinese couple who agree to provide food and signage and help with the opening; and Pearline, a beautiful singer who takes the stage that night. Smoke also goes to the house of his estranged wife Annie, who practices Hoodoo and claims her rituals kept the brothers safe. Annie and Smoke argue about their lost infant daughter: she believes her rites warded them, while Smoke resents that their child's death shows the rituals failed. The twins' return stirs gossip in town; among those they encounter, Stack bumps into Mary, his white-passing former girlfriend, who bristles about being abandoned and about the twins' failure to send condolences when her mother died.

Far from Clarksdale, an Irish immigrant named Remmick flees a group of Choctaw hunters who pursue him as a predator. Remmick seeks shelter in the cabin of a racist married couple, Bert and Joan, and in exchange for gold secures a place to hide. Once inside, he reveals himself as a vampire and turns the couple into undead followers; the Choctaw hunters had been tracking Remmick as a monster rather than a man.

Opening night at the juke joint arrives with a large, lively crowd. The brothers have sold scrips and accepted reduced admission for locals who cannot pay full price; despite Smoke's misgivings about making a profit, people pour in to dance and drink. Sammie, onstage with Delta Slim and Pearline, plays a haunting set that arrests the audience; his playing reaches into the room in a way several attendees describe as otherworldly. During Sammie's songs, visual impressions and apparitions of musicians from other eras and places seem to gather in the joint, unseen by most but present in the camera's composition; the music makes the crowd lose themselves. Outside, drawn by the sound, Remmick approaches with the couple he turned and another vampire, and they present themselves as traveling musicians wanting to join the revelry. Smoke, suspicious of strangers, denies them entry despite their willingness to pay. Mary takes pity and, for the cash, steps outside to speak with them.

When Mary speaks with Remmick, his eyes glow crimson and he lashes out; he sinks his fangs into her and turns her into a vampire. Mary returns inside and later lures Stack to a private room as if to rekindle their old intimacy; there she bites his neck so savagely that Stack collapses, dead, as far as the patrons can tell. Smoke bursts in on the scene, empties his guns into Mary's torso, and watches bullets strike her as if they were nothing; Mary staggers but survives and flees into the night. Outside, Cornbread leaves his post to relieve himself and is taunted away by Bert and Joan; when he wanders off, the vampires seize and bite him, turning him into one of their number. Bo, too, is seized by the rising horde of the undead and becomes infected.

Realizing something supernatural assails them, the remaining staff clear the joint at Smoke's order, sending as many patrons as possible out into the darkness; only Smoke, Sammie, Annie, Delta Slim, Pearline, and Grace remain inside. When Cornbread returns and demands invitation, Annie confronts him and recognizes signs of vampirism; Smoke shoots at him, striking Cornbread in the face, and Cornbread flees, now not entirely human. Inside, Stack's body stirs and rises as a vampire, bursts from a closet, and charges--Annie splashes him with jars of pickled garlic and repels him, buying them time. Annie instructs the group on how to fight: vampires cannot enter uninvited, garlic repels them, and only silver or wood can kill them. She presses a protective talisman into Smoke's hand and tells them the stubborn facts of the night.

Remmick speaks to the survivors from outside, crossing the threshold only when he is invited. He speaks calmly and reveals several facts that upend the group. First, Hogwood--the man who sold the twins the mill--heads the local Ku Klux Klan and planned to have Klansmen massacre the juke joint and its patrons at dawn; Hogwood's sale was a setup. Second, Remmick says he values Sammie's music because the guitarist's performances can call up spirits of the dead and the future, and Remmick wishes to use that talent to summon lost members of his own people; he offers the survivors immortality and liberation from racial oppression through vampirism. He claims their minds remain individual though they act as a hive, and he promises the survivors power in exchange for cooperation. When the group refuses, he threatens Lisa, Grace and Bo's teenage daughter, telling Grace he will take the girl to compel them. Grace, enraged and desperate, steps forward and invites the vampires inside so she can stop them from taking Lisa.

The final clash breaks out immediately. Grace rushes at her husband Bo--who is now an undead creature--and, as she plunges a stake into him, flames erupt from the struggle; Grace is consumed in the fire with him, both collapsing in a burning heap that ends both their lives. Delta Slim severs his own arm to draw vampires away from the others; he bleeds and shouts and draws a throng of the undead into a melee, fighting ferociously as he uses the stage and his music to bait and confuse them. Vampires surround him, tear at his flesh, and then kill him amid the chaos. Pearline, who has been wounded trying to protect Sammie, is bitten by one of the creatures in the scrum; as she weakens and her life drains, she urges Sammie to flee, saying with her last breaths that he must run, then collapses and dies from the bite. Annie fights too, and in the melee Stack lunges at her and breaks her skin; gravely bitten and knowing she will change, Annie implores Smoke to end her suffering. Smoke drives a stake through Annie's heart at her request, ending her life by his hand. For a moment, Stack and Mary--both newly made--watch Annie die and show a flicker of remorse before their predatory hunger returns.

Smoke engages Stack in close combat. The brothers exchange blows, and Smoke forces Stack into a corner. Rather than finish his twin, Smoke spares him on a condition: Stack must leave Sammie alone and never return to the living world's concerns. Stack, torn, nevertheless retreats from the fight when Smoke makes his demand; the brothers break apart with Smoke still alive and Stack having fled into the night as a vampire. Meanwhile Sammie confronts Remmick outside. The Irish vampire claws across Sammie's face, ripping the same wound that will later bring him back to his father's church, and attempts to seduce him with promises of power. Sammie jabs the broken neck of his father's guitar--its metal tuning plate and the silver components--into Remmick's skull, gouging and blinding the creature. Just then Smoke charges out and drives a long wooden stake through Remmick's chest, pinning the vampire. Remmick explodes in a spray of ash and flame when the sun peeks over the horizon, and simultaneously the other vampires burst into flames and are destroyed by daylight. Where Remmick is staked, his body disintegrates under Smoke's spear and the sun's heat; where the other turned townspeople stand, their bodies combust and crumble.

Smoke tells Sammie to run home, and Sammie flees toward the black church as dawn pours over the fields. After sending his cousin away, Smoke turns to face the fact that Hogwood's Klansmen are closing in to finish what they had planned. Klansmen appear around the juke joint, hoods raised, weapons ready to slaughter the survivors and recover the property. Smoke arms himself with a tommy gun and a cache of explosives and engages the Klan in a brutal firefight on the mill's porch and yard. He empties his machine gun into the line of Klansmen, tosses a grenade that tears through attackers, and shoots men who try to rush him. One by one, the hooded attackers fall dead from bullets and blast injuries. Hogwood, the last man standing, pleads for his life and offers money; Smoke pumps him full of lead, shooting him down mercilessly. During the firefight a Klansman fires a round that finds Smoke in the gut; Smoke collapses with a mortal wound. As he lies dying amid the bloodied sawdust and spent brass, he sees visions of Annie and their infant daughter standing in the light; they reach for him and he allows himself to go. Smoke dies from the gunshot wounds after killing Hogwood and every Klansman who threatened the juke joint.

Sammie reaches the church and appears before his father again, blood dried on his face, the broken guitar neck in his hands. Pastor Jedediah urges repentance and insists Sammie abandon the blues, declaring that music called up evil. Sammie listens, then steps outside, climbs into his car and drives north with his guitar, refusing to give the instrument or the music away even as he bears the scars of the night.

The film closes and a mid-credits scene flashes forward to 1992. An elderly Sammie--now a celebrated blues musician with decades behind him--performs at a small club and is later visited by two familiar faces who have not aged: Stack and Mary. The couple, alive and unshriven, have remained vampires through the decades. Stack tells Sammie that Smoke spared him at the juke joint on the single condition that he never bother Sammie again. Sensing that Sammie's human life is nearing its end, Stack offers to turn him into a vampire so he might live on. Sammie declines the offer, saying he has seen enough of life and is ready to let it go when it comes. Instead, Sammie picks up his guitar and plays one more song for Stack and Mary; after he finishes, he confesses that he still wakes from nightmares about that night but also that, until the sun rose and the violence began, it was the best day of his life. Stack answers that he remembers the day the same way: the last time he saw his brother and the sun, and the only time he truly felt free. With that, Stack and Mary leave the club and walk off into the night as Sammie watches, guitar in his lap and the lines of a long life on his face. The film ends on Sammie's final chord as the credits run.

Expanded Narrative Ending:

The ending of "Sinners" unfolds in a tense and dramatic sequence of events. Following the discovery that Stack has become a vampire, Smoke and the others are faced with the daunting task of defending themselves against their former allies and friends who have been turned.

The scene begins with Smoke and his group, including Sammie, Annie, and Slim, barricaded inside the juke joint. They are aware that Stack has returned as a vampire after being bitten by Mary, who had also been turned. The group understands that the only way to kill the vampires is with sunlight or a stake through the heart.

As night falls, the vampires begin to exert pressure on the group. Remmick, the apparent leader of the vampires, attempts to lure them out by offering promises of belonging and connection that the living cannot provide. However, Smoke is resolute in protecting Sammie, who is the primary target of the vampires due to his musical talents.

Grace, who has become increasingly fearful as her husband Bo is turned, eventually reaches a breaking point. She demands that the vampires come and take them, highlighting the desperation and despair that has gripped the group. This decision sets off a chain of events as the vampires start to infiltrate the joint.

The climax of the film involves a desperate fight to survive until dawn. Smoke and his allies use whatever means necessary to fend off the vampires, but they are vastly outnumbered. The tension builds as the group faces one setback after another, with the vampires continually finding ways to breach their defenses.

As the night wears on, the group becomes more fragmented. Some members are killed or turned, while others manage to cling to life. The final confrontation takes place just before dawn, with Smoke and his remaining companions fighting to protect Sammie and ensure their own survival.

In the end, the movie concludes with a dramatic and intense showdown, where the survivors must confront the full force of the vampire threat. The outcome is determined by their ability to endure until sunrise, which holds the key to defeating the vampires and restoring some semblance of order to their shattered lives.

Throughout the ending, the film highlights themes of resilience, loyalty, and the struggle against forces that seek to destroy the bonds of community and family. The narrative underscores the challenges faced by the characters as they navigate a world where their past and present are intertwined with the supernatural elements of the vampire threat.

In the 2025 film "Sinners," several characters meet their demise. Here are the characters who die and the circumstances of their deaths:

1. Stack: He is bitten by Mary, a vampire, and initially dies. However, he comes back to life as a vampire before fleeing the scene after being repelled by garlic juice.

2. Bert: He is bitten by Remmick, a vampire, and presumably turns into a vampire himself. There is no explicit mention of his death after transformation in the provided summaries.

3. Mary (initially): She is shot by Smoke after biting Stack, but she survives the shooting due to her vampiric nature.

4. Cornbread: He is shot in the face by Smoke after attempting to bite him while in his vampirized state. It is not explicitly stated if he dies from this wound.

5. Remmick: There is no direct mention of his death in the summaries provided. However, he is involved in several violent confrontations as a vampire.

Additionally, for the film titled "Sinners Smoke," which seems to be a different movie based on the search results, several characters die, but this does not pertain to the 2025 film "Sinners" directed by Ryan Coogler.

For the 2025 "Sinners" film, other characters might die in the climactic scenes involving vampires, but specific details on their deaths are not provided in the summaries.

Yes, the 2025 movie "Sinners" includes post-credit scenes. The film features not one, but two post-credits scenes.

In the first post-credit scene, Sammie is shown in the 1990s as a successful musician in Chicago. After one of his performances, he receives two special visitors who managed to gain entry by paying off the bouncer.

Details about the second post-credit scene are not extensively elaborated in the provided sources, but it is confirmed that there are two scenes in total.

The story prominently features vampires as the main supernatural element, including an Irish-immigrant vampire named Remmick and his thralls who prey on the local community. Additionally, the film incorporates Southern supernatural traditions such as Hoodoo, practiced by the character Annie, which is believed to protect the protagonists. The presence of Choctaw vampire hunters also adds a layer of supernatural conflict within the narrative.

Smoke and Stack Moore, identical twin World War I veterans, return to their hometown in the Mississippi Delta and use stolen money to purchase a sawmill, which they convert into a juke joint for the local Black community. They recruit local musicians and workers to support the business, aiming to create a cultural hub despite the challenges posed by racism and supernatural threats.

Music is central to the story, with the juke joint serving as a cultural and social gathering place. Sammie, an aspiring guitarist, performs alongside other musicians like pianist Delta Slim and singer Pearline. Sammie's transcendent music unknowingly summons spirits of the past and future, which attracts both the community and supernatural entities such as vampires. The tension between the spiritual power of blues music and the warnings from Sammie's pastor father about its 'sins' is a key thematic element.

Mary, Stack's white-passing ex-girlfriend, resents Stack for leaving her for protection. She becomes a pivotal figure when she is turned into a vampire by Remmick after attempting to flee the juke joint. Mary then seduces and fatally bites Stack, escalating the conflict between the twins and the vampire threat. Her transformation and actions deepen the supernatural danger faced by the protagonists.

The protagonists struggle with financial viability because their patrons rely on company scrip, making it difficult to turn a profit. They also face external threats from Remmick and his vampire followers who seek entry and control. Internally, suspicion arises when characters like Cornbread, the doorman, exhibit strange behavior linked to vampirism. These challenges combine economic, social, and supernatural obstacles that the characters must navigate to sustain their community space.

The movie Sinners (2025) is not family friendly and is rated R due to its mature and intense content. It contains several elements that make it unsuitable for children or sensitive viewers, including:

• Strong bloody violence: Graphic and sustained violent scenes involving brutal killings, supernatural attacks, dismemberment, and ritual sacrifice create a disturbing and tense atmosphere.
• Strong foul language: Frequent use of strong profanity, including repeated use of the f-word and harsh language throughout the film.
• Sexual content: Contains sexual scenes with brief nudity, suggestive situations, and explicit sexual dialogue, including graphic descriptions of sexual acts. There are also themes implying underage sexual attraction, though the film does not explicitly cross that line.
• Disturbing supernatural and body horror imagery: Scenes involving possession, spiritual torment, and vampire-related horror can be intense and unsettling.
• Mature, heavy themes: The film explores sin, religious extremism, racial injustice, trauma, and ancestral guilt, often intertwined with psychological horror elements.

Because of this combination of violent, sexual, profane, and disturbing content, Sinners is clearly intended for mature audiences and is not suitable for children or those sensitive to intense horror, graphic language, or sexual content.

No major spoilers have been revealed here, but parents and sensitive viewers should be aware of these potentially objectionable scenes before considering viewing.
