Netflix Releases First Trailer For Star-Studded Movie The Devil All The Time

The trailer for the upcoming Netflix movie The Devil All the Time is here - check it out:

The new flick has an impressive cast including Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Bill Skarsgård and Riley Keough and is based on the award-winning book by Donald Ray Pollock.

It's written by Antonio Campos and Paulo Campos, with Jake Gyllenhaal on board as a producer.

An official synopsis from Netflix reads: "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 agonising 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."

Well, that sounds good doesn't it?

Speaking to Empire, Antonio Campos praised Holland for getting stuck in a drastically different role than we're used to seeing him play.

He said: "I don't believe he does anything without diving headfirst into it and giving himself completely over to it."

For those who haven't yet read the book, Campos also teased that the movie gets pretty dark - adding: "There are dark things that happen. But I think that experiencing darkness is not a bad thing when it's done in the right context.

"The film is not glorifying violence; it's trying to understand where it comes from. It's trying to understand its connection - especially in this country - to faith, and people abusing the power of faith."

And if all of that makes you as intrigued as me, there's good news because The Devil All the Time lands on Netflix on 16 September.
