Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting 03/15/2021
2/5
Paige's debut might resonate with a younger audience, but it otherwise unravels at the slightest tug of its plot threads. It prefers to tell over show; expect major plot beats to unveil through lengthy exposition dumps that still don't bring clarity. Go to Full Review
Anne T. Donahue Globe and Mail 02/19/2021
With so much story to tell and so many characters to root for (or against), we could use a deep dive into the risks of unchecked misogyny. Go to Full Review

1/5
At least The Sinners' sexy-schoolgirl-corpse aesthetic - part Twin Peaks, part Ariana Grande music video - is too ineptly executed to truly offend. Go to Full Review

7/10
The missed opportunity for a different and maybe more potent story is hard to look past, but that is maybe the movie’s greatest sin. Go to Full Review
Molly Adams In Review Online 06/06/2021
The Sinners is practically a checklist of how not to make a horror movie, one that's not even self-aware enough to disrupt its banality with good humor. Go to Full Review
Deirdre Crimmins C-Ville (VA) 03/06/2021
Director and co-writer Courtney Paige does her best to spin all of this into a high school thriller à la Agatha Christie, however the overall experience of watching The Sinners is disjointed and tedious. Go to Full Review

Sheree B 08/31/2024 This movie started out well. I liked the initial narration. Stunning cinematography, premise, and score. I was excited when the first murder happened, even though it was out of the blue, quick, and occured to a character I wouldv'e preferred more background on, but then it just all went downhill from there. The story fell apart, the plot made no sense, new and useless characters were brought in. It was like the editors left out entire scenes that were needed for it to all make sense. There was even a scene where the murderer talks about her own murder staging that the audience was never shown. Who edited this movie? A 7 year old? In the end, it was a horrible, strange, pointless waste of time. So much promise, so little sense. Don't bother. See more Hugo S 02/15/2024 Seven high-school girls form a cult known as "The Sins" - an act of rebellion against the costumes of their religious local community. Mysteriously, all members of the cult are chased and murdered by an assassin who represents a much greater danger than all sins combined. A story about subversive adolescents with an edgy attitude and stereotyped personalities. See more French C 09/28/2023 Awful. Not a horror and definitely not scary. Just a mishmash of teen slasher tropes. See more Daniel J 07/23/2023 Thoroughly enjoy the series. I like that each season has resolution instead of drawing out a conflict, endlessly, season after season after season after season. Every case has a few twists and turns thus ensuring unexpected additions to the season story.
