‘Sinners’ Ending Explained: Smoke and Stack’s Fates After the Vampire Brawl and That Post-Credits Cameo


Who survives the night in 'Sinners,' Ryan Coogler's blood and blues-soaked vampire thriller? Variety breaks down the ending and post-credits scenes.

The period thriller takes place over one hog-wild, then harrowing day and night in October 1932, as the Smokestack twins — Smoke and Stack, played by Michael B. Jordan — return to their hometown in the Mississippi Delta to open a juke joint. The twins, who’ve made some cash working in Chicago for Al Capone, buy an old sawmill from a condescending white man named Hogwood (David Maldonado), who promises the KKK is no longer around these parts, so they won’t be bothered. In a series of unfortunate events, first Mary, then Stack and most of the attendees at the party are converted to Remmick’s horde of vampires and the survivors — Smoke, Sammie, Annie, Delta Slim, Pearline and Grace — must fight to survive the night.
