In the Movie Sinners, how are the vampires able to attack them without being invited in?

I’m hoping I just missed something.

When the vampires first show up there is this big deal about them needing to be invited in. We see it with the first vampire guy, and then they made a big deal about it with Cornbread.

Sometime later, when the vampires suddenly decide they are done fooling around and invade the juke joint to try killing everyone, why are they able to do it with no invitation? Did I somehow miss that someone accidentally invited them in?

I just watched it last night for the first time and this was the only thing that kind of bugged me about it.

Vampires are an allegory for germs and bacteria.

-they can’t enter unless you let them -silver was used as a common cure for diseases -cant see their reflection because most mirrors were made of silver nitrate -garlic was a common remedy for disease -priests would bless those who were sick

Etc…

Zombies are an allegory for today’s working environment, but that’s for another question

It’s a fantasy world populated with vampires. The “rules” are whatever the creator decides, which is probably why these ones don’t sparkle in the sun.

Maybe they watched 30 days of night and just said “we should just do that”

Grace keeps pushing Smoke to take the vampires head on, before they go to her store and kill her daughter. When the others refuse, she forces it by inviting them in.

I haven’t watched the film, but I’m pretty sure the ‘rule’ only applies to homes that people live in. Public places are ‘exempt’.
