Set in the backwoods of 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. The story revolves around young Arvin Russell, who has grown up in a troubled environment after the traumatic experiences of his father, Willard Russell, a tormented war veteran, and his mother, Charlotte, who is suffering from cancer. As Arvin grows up, he becomes increasingly disillusioned with the corrupt and morally bankrupt individuals that surround him. The narrative intertwines the lives of various characters, including a sinister preacher, Reverend Preston Teagardin, who manipulates his parishioners for his own sinister purposes, and a depraved couple, Carl and Sandy Henderson, who lure unsuspecting travelers to their doom. Another key character is the enigmatic and haunted Sheriff Lee Bodecker, who is entangled in the web of crime and corruption that plagues the region. As the lives of these characters intersect and collide, the film delves into themes of faith, violence, and the dark underbelly of human nature. The Devil All the Time is a gripping and atmospheric tale of the struggle between good and evil, and the enduring legacy of sin and redemption in a place where the boundaries between the two are often blurred.
