In April, our very own Theo Fisher wrote about Antonio Campos’ “The Devil All the Time”:
“Set between the end of WWII and the beginning of the Vietnam war, this adaptation of Donald Ray Pollock’s psychological thriller-esque novel by “Christine” Director Antonio Campos follows the stories of various people who have suffered at the hands of post-war society.”
Campos’ film will be released by Netflix on September 16th. The streaming giant couldn’t care less about delaying titles due to the pandemic, they are relentless in the amount of streaming content they have greenlit for release these past few months. Their fall lineup is stacked with heavy-hitting titles such as David Fincher’s “Mank,” “Charlie Kaufman’s “I’m Thinking of Ending Things,” Ron Howard’s “Hillbilly Elegy,” and Ben Wheatley’’s “Rebecca.”
The “Devil All the Time” cast is star-studded throughout, including the likes of Tom Holland, Mia Wasikowska, Sebastian Stan, Robert Pattinson, Riley Keough, Bill Skarsgard, Eliza Scanlan, and Jason Clarke.
“The Devil All The Time” would have been a prime fall festival title if it weren’t for the fact that Netflix decided to skip festival season entirely this year. Campos is becoming a recurrent name in indie cinema with two under-the-radar gems to his name thus far (“Christine” and “Simon Killer”). One look at the newly released trailer for “The Devil All the Time” and you feel like you’re in the hands of a confident and propulsively talented filmmaker.
