Summaries
Sinister characters converge around a
young man devoted to protecting those he loves in a postwar backwoods town
teeming with corruption and brutality.
—Netflix
Set in rural southern Ohio and West
Virginia, The Devil All the Time follows a cast of compelling and bizarre
characters from the end of World War II to the 1960s. There's Willard Russell,
tormented veteran of the carnage in the South Pacific, who can't save his
beautiful wife, Charlotte, from an agonizing death by cancer no matter how much
sacrificial blood he pours on his "prayer log." There's Carl and
Sandy Henderson, a husband-and-wife team of serial killers, who troll America's
highways searching for suitable models to photograph and exterminate. There's
the spider-handling preacher Roy and his crippled virtuoso-guitar-playing
sidekick, Theodore, running from the law. And caught in the middle of all this
is Arvin Eugene Russell, Willard and Charlotte's orphaned son, who grows up to
be a good but also violent man in his own right.
Willard Russell prays over a prayer log
for his cancer-ridden wife with his son, Arvin. A spider-eating preacher is
convinced he can bring back the dead. A husband and wife pick up hitchhikers,
photograph them, and kill them. Their paths intersect in the Midwest town of
Knockemstiff.

Movie Review
From
the start, you realize it will be a long movie, with already being more than
two hours long. It's a slow-burn movie, with a great story, great acting from
actors that we love for their roles in other movies. Here we see they can be
more, they took the risk and made something great and worth watching. Netflix
as usual gives as every month a new movie to talk about, but this one we will
remember for a while.
