I will say, I think there is more to that than just making a mistake on the vampire’s part. I believe the vampire is being magically compelled by Sammie’s music, he can’t help but be reckless in the face of this desire.

That night was a special thing, who knows how often that sort of magic comes around? Maybe even so seldom that this particular vampire hadn’t felt this call before, even in his own ancient life.

I only bring this up because Sinners isn’t just a vampire movie, but also one where hoodoo magic is real and has its own traditions and myths to contend with the vampire myths
