If it wasn't for the rushed ending where all the characters were killed off in one go then it would've been perfect.
Also coogler should ditch the post/mid credit scene for his non mcu films, thank you.
And lastly, micheal b. Jordan was sweaty as hell my god.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A supernatural horror film that weaves American gothic tradition, steeped in Southern violence, racial reckoning, and spiritual corruption, into a kinetic thriller about two brothers confronting both literal demons and the sins of their homeland. The surreal imagery and blues-soaked atmosphere create a fever dream that's equal parts terrifying and operatic.

Reviews
Can you imagine if the trailers were about the first half, and the second half was just a total surprise? 🤯
The downside of a film switching genres is that sometimes the first one is done so well that I don't want to switch. Spending an hour with Smoke and Stack as they return from Chicago and bop around town getting ready to open their juke joint was enough for me to know I want a prequel about them in Chicago and that I don't want them to be attacked by vampires. That's a Stormy problem though, and that's for me to deal with.
Once I accepted that we transitioned to the vampire part, I was all in, but the second half of it was rushed. I didn't get enough time to process and feel my feelings. That's my spoiler free assessment. I would still be down for a prequel.
