Sinners is back with an all-new, much longer trailer, and I didn't even want to blink because I was afraid to miss something!

When news first broke about Sinners, it was being teased as a vampire film written and directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan. And we all know whenever these two talented men link up, magic is created (cough, cough Black Panther, Creed, Fruitvale Station), so I was sold on the concept as soon as I heard they were reuniting.

Four months ago, Warner Bros. dropped the official trailer, and it left just enough mystery to leave the viewer wondering, "What exactly is this about?" It begins with a distraught Michael sitting on a stoop, skin stained with blood, and ends with Michael shooting off rounds from a machine gun. Sprinkled in between is a looming darkness that has settled on the town where the film is based and hints of the residents being possessed.

Well, yesterday, most of my questions went out the window because they dropped an extensive second official trailer, and it's packed with more horror, chills, characters, and twists! In less than 24 hours, it's already racked in over 3.7 million views, and it's still growing.

I've watched it about three times now, and I catch different details in it every time.
It's almost like Entertainment Weekly knew I needed to flesh out my thoughts about the new visuals because they invited Michael and Ryan for an episode of Trailer Breakdown, where they shared insight about the scenes.

The film follows twin brothers who are trying to leave their troubled past behind them as they return to their hometown for a fresh start. Unfortunately, an even greater evil is waiting for them there.

Here's what we learned:
1. Michael found it challenging to play twins Elijah and Elias Smoke.

2. The film takes place over the course of a day.

3. Michael's performance left Ryan shook!

4. The film highlights the prohibition era in the South.

5. Sinners plays into a lot of modern-day complications within American society.

6. Jack O'Connell plays the main antagonist.

7. Hailee Steinfeld is the character that needs to be "saved," but not in the way that you think.

8. Legendary actor Delroy Lindo plays a significant role amongst the cast.

9. Ryan got to work with a lot of people he admired on this film, but he was most excited about Omar Benson Miller joining the film.

10. The cast broke character A LOT during this Cornbread scene.

This made me even more excited for the film, but I'm not the only one. Here's what some people online are saying:
