Sinners star Jack O'Connell has shared his amazement that traditional music he used to "belt out in the pub" featured in the film.
The 35-year-old stars alongside Michael B Jordan in Ryan Coogler's action-horror, following twin brothers (Jordan) who return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.
O'Connell, who stars as vicious head vampire Remmick, led a haunting scene featuring Irish music he recalled growing up with.
The film has now cemented its place in Oscars history, earning a staggering 16 nominations.
"It blew my mind that this, this type of music would be featuring in a film of this size," O'Connell told The Independent.
