The Devil All The Time trailer: Some people are just born to be buried

*** My review and article are now live ***

Hot, sweaty and suspenseful, this slice of midwestern gothic spans the time between World War II and the Vietnam War, in a seductive and horrific landscape that pits the just against the corrupted.

*Bill Skarsgård as Willard Russell, Michael Banks Repeta as Arvin Russell, aged 9*

Here’s the synopsis:

In Knockemstiff, Ohio and its neighbouring backwoods, sinister characters — an unholy preacher (Robert Pattinson), twisted couple (Jason Clarke and Riley Keough), and crooked sheriff (Sebastian Stan) — converge around young Arvin Russell (Tom Holland) as he fights the evil forces that threaten him and his family.

The Devil All The Time is out on Netflix in 16 September and is directed by Antonio Campos.

Co-starring Bill Skarsgård, Mia Wasikowska, Harry Melling, Haley Bennett and Pokey LaFarge, the film has been adapted from Donald Ray Pollock’s award-winning novel of the same name by Antonio Campos and his brother Paulo Campos.
