Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners’ Heads to HBO Max Next Month
Get ready for some fireworks: one of this year’s massive Hollywood success stories, Ryan Coogler’s vampire epic Sinners, heads to streaming next month.
Sinners will make its global streaming debut exclusively on HBO Max on Friday, July 4, 2025. The film will debut on HBO linear on July 5 at 8:00pm ET.
The vampire epic is currently available on Digital and receives a physical media release on July 8.
Written and directed by Ryan Coogler (Black Panther, Creed), the critically acclaimed vampire horror film stars Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as twin brothers Smoke and Stack. Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, they return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.
Hailee Steinfeld (Bumblebee), Jack O’Connell (Eden Lake), Wunmi Mosaku (“Loki”), Jayme Lawson (The Batman), Omar Benson Miller (“CSI: Miami”), and Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods) round out the incredible ensemble cast of Ryan Coogler’s Sinners.
The film is produced by Zinzi Coogler, Sev Ohanian, and Ryan Coogler. The executive producers are Ludwig Göransson, Will Greenfield, and Rebecca Cho. The score is composed by Academy Award winner Ludwig Göransson (Oppenheimer, Black Panther).
I wrote in my 4-star review, “Coogler’s first foray into horror shows a keen understanding that the key ingredient to ensuring the scares land and the suspense leaves you on edge is making you care about the characters. It makes for one of the more satisfying third acts to come along in a while, continuing through the end credits and even post-credits.”
“Music is a conduit in Sinners, making for an electric, lively first horror effort from Coogler,” the review for Bloody Disgusting continues. “Here’s hoping it’s far from the last.”
Get ready to watch Sinners this Fourth of July holiday on HBO and HBO Max.
South Korean filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho (Train to Busan, “Human Vapor“) is back this summer with a new outbreak nightmare in Colony, and the official trailer teases a violent new infection nightmare.
Colony bites into theaters on August 28, 2026.
The South Korean horror movie follows Professor Se-jeong as she is thrust into a terrifying hellscape when a mutating virus is unleashed during a biotech conference, forcing authorities to seal the facility to contain the outbreak. Se-jeong and a group of survivors must fight to stay alive as the infected undergo horrific transformations and threaten to spread the virus.
Colony marks Gianna Jun’s (Blood: The Last Vampire, “My Sassy Girl”) first feature film since 2015’s Assassination. She stars alongside Koo Kyo-hwan (Peninsula, Escape from Mogadishu).
Ji Chang-wook (“Healer”) and Shin Hyun-been (“Hospital Playlist”) also star.
The viral outbreak horror movie is rated ‘R’ for “bloody violent content and some language.”
Colony is presented by Showbox and produced by Wowpoint and Smilegate.
Based on the new trailer below, Colony might be Yeon Sang-Ho’s most visceral and bloody yet.
