He's probably talking about From Dusk Til Dawn or Demon Knight.

Sinister is a system
Just got back from seeing this with the Mrs and I thought the movie was a solid 7/10 for me.
It’s hard to explain without going strongly into spoiler territory but this is definitely Coogler’s most ambitious film regarding the themes that are addressed here. The execution in some parts and the pacing of the film didn’t fully hit the mark for me but I can tell that my opinion of the film is going to get stronger after watching this again because of all of the messages he put in this film.
Just some quick thoughts that could be a reach but
I really love how Coogler layered the rule about vampires needing to be invited in with the fact that they were white people trying to enter a black establishment under the guise of wanting to join in on the party. I took that as a finger wag to the people that always wanna invite others to the cookout. Those that present themselves as the friendliest can have the worst intentions.
It also felt like the main vampire was a take on the white savior complex too. In his mind, he was being righteous but his actions were bringing harm exclusively to black people
Looking forward to seeing this again. I do wish some things in the film were executed differently but I loved all the different messaging this film presented that I can look past my gripes.
Your spot on with the dualities in your spoiler. I picked up on that too plus Hailey character saying “they got money and you need it” and “let me talk to them since they look like me” is deep too. Sent her out there for money and ended up destroying the whole idea until its revealed about the double cross coming in the morning
I do love how Coogler put the real racism on display in this movie and it wasnt even promoted like that so i know some crackers are going to be butthurt and call this a DEI movie with hurt feelings

Funny y'all bringing up Dusk Till Dawn, Coogler said himself he got the inspiration for Sinners from that movie.No the fukk it ain't lol
But Sinners is waaay better than Dusk Till Dawn.

thoughts for what? That dude has stole a ton of shyt in his career. Mostly dialogue. He takes a line from this movie, a line from that movie to make his scripts. One of the last things Seth says in Dust til Dawn when they were down to one bullet is what Napolean said in Assault on Precinct 13 when they were down to a few bullets about 20 years prior.
