If You Loved Sinners, These 3 Prime Video’s Thrillers Will Keep You Hooked With High-Stakes Battles Against Darkness
Ryan Coogler is back with another big win. The director, known for Black Panther and Creed, has released his first completely original film, Sinners. And it’s already turning heads. In just its opening weekend, Sinners brought in $48 million across U.S. theaters. Fans can’t stop talking about its mix of horror, history, and powerful themes. Michael B. Jordan plays both lead roles, twin brothers “Smoke” and “Stack” Moore. After leaving behind crime in Chicago, they return to their Mississippi hometown in the 1930s. They build a juke joint to protect their community from racial violence. But when dark supernatural forces appear, the fight becomes much bigger.
These monsters aren’t just scary, they challenge everything the characters believe in. With deep messages about race, faith, music, and legacy, Sinners is more than a horror film. It’s inspired by Coogler’s own life and his late uncle’s love for blues.
If you’ve seen it and want more thrillers with real meaning, here are three incredible films that share the same heart-pounding energy and powerful storytelling.
Judas and the Black Messiah
If you’re a fan of Coogler’s work, this is a must-watch. Judas and the Black Messiah tells the gripping true story of Fred Hampton, the leader of the Illinois Black Panther Party. The film follows William O’Neal (LaKeith Stanfield), a small-time criminal who agrees to spy on Hampton (Daniel Kaluuya) for the FBI. What follows is a tense story about loyalty, power, and betrayal. This film received multiple Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. Kaluuya won Best Supporting Actor. It was also the first Best Picture nominee with an all-Black producing team. With powerful performances and real history, it’s a movie that stays with you.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
It may surprise you, but this animated film actually helped inspire Sinners. Even Ryan Coogler said so. In The Last Wish, Puss in Boots realizes he’s down to his last life. After years of living recklessly, he must face his fear of death. To fix it, he sets out to find the legendary Wishing Star. This movie is full of heart, humor, and emotional depth. It’s more than a kids’ film, it’s about second chances, bravery, and self-discovery. With a star-studded voice cast, it’s as fun as it is meaningful.
Blade
Need more action, vampires, and dark energy? Go with a classic, Blade. Wesley Snipes plays Blade, a half-human, half-vampire who hunts creatures of the night. His mission? Avenge his mother’s death and stop the vampire threat once and for all. Blade was one of Marvel’s earliest film hits. Its unique style, fast-paced action, and dark tone made it a fan favorite.
If you liked the intense supernatural scenes in Sinners, this movie will hit the spot.
Whether you’re into true stories, emotional animated journeys, or intense vampire hunts, these movies are packed with action and deeper meaning.
Sinners is a rare mix of horror and heart, and while nothing is quite like it, these three picks offer thrills, depth, and unforgettable moments.
