THEE movie of this decade!! I would say "argue with ya mama" but I already know you know better!
Vampires, history, hoodoo, juking, and there's even twins!
You could spend a lifetime of lies trying to make an honest living, only for the truth to ruin it all by dawn. Watch how two brothers with an American dream accidentally uncover a full-blown Mississippi nightmare in the span of a single day. Guess that's what they get for being Sinners...
Movies so good, I don't even care the theatre worker burnt my popcorn!
Be back next time for more Blerd indulgence, and get ready for the big #BLERDTOBER event coming in October!
Stay safe & stay melanated!~💛
