Caught it, late as fukk.

I liked the set up, thought it was amazing but when the horror kicked in I was underwhelmed. Coogler gotta tap in with someone that can really sell that shyt. Like that shot from the trailer where Sammie and Smoke where hugging each other looking terrified I thought some horrific, terrifying shyt was happening but not really. Then the one where he had the Thompson bucking at something, it was the klan so big salute but I thought some traumatic shyt was going down :dead:

Love to see Delroy Lindo stealing the show once again.

Gonna keep supporting these brothers but I wanted this to hit a lil harder.
I personally don't think the movie was trying to sell horror. It was a thriller. So I was ok with that. They made the vampires likable. However, thats where trailers can sell you on one thing.

Vampire movies like Near Dark, Interview With the a Vampire and even Lost Boys were never really scary to me either though.

Only one I think (off the top of my head) that really sold horror for a good chunk of the movie was 30 days of Night.

Tom Cruise doesn't do movies unless he is in on production so he can control it

Don't really see this as a bad thing maybe they can benefit each other , because after top gun Maverick to can't get a hit. And coogler if he doesn't tighten up my fall into childish Gambino and Jordan poole levels of pretension.

I hope everyone is noticing that there's a lot of crackas pretending to be Black and saying "It's the worst movie ever". Also a lot of them are dragging down it's rating on IMDB

But thankfully, the CinemaScore will stay at an 'A'. And the CinemaScore is from VERIFIED ticket buyers

Sooo:umad:

There are also black people who giving this low scores because they didn't feel like this movie did enough to lift up the black community. And the period didn't do enough to address every single issue black people were having at the time and felt like vampires were distracting from the black narrative.
Literally seeing several comments in this thread that allude to this. Can both of these groups just enjoy this as a vampire movie? Don't have to politicize it
