Alien at the Movies

The Devil All the Time

In this postwar backwoods rural setting, the many brutal & corrupt stories of several sinister characters converge around the orphaned Arvin (Tom Holland). His upbringing has taught him to be protective of his love ones. This is a dark tale of what evil & misguidance lurks in the minds of an evangelist, a husband/wife serial killer team, a morally corrupt preacher, & a dirty cop. The supporting cast includes Robert Pattinson, Bill Skarsgärd, Sebastian Stan, Jason Clarke, & Mia Wasikowska. The performances are terrific but the plot is a dark & violent one. 

Alien gives it 2½ “prayer log” stars out of 4.
