To celebrate the release of Netflix’s new film The Devil All The Time, we sat down with some of the film’s incredible cast and its acclaimed director to find out all about it.
Based on the critically-acclaimed novel by Donald Ray Pollock, the film tells of the lives of Knockemstiff, Ohio, and its neighboring backwoods and those that inhabit the surroundings, converging on young Arvin Russell (Tom Holland) and his father Willard (Bill Skarsgard). They include an unholy preacher (Robert Pattinson), a twisted couple (Jason Clarke and Riley Keough), and a crooked sheriff (Sebastian Stan), and more.
Director Antonio Campos spoke to us about his long desire to make the film and the challenges of adapting the film and its dense story, whilst star Bill Skarsgard tells us about his character, the impact of the war on his life, and how his religious leanings end up leading him down the wrong path. We also chatted to Harry Melling and Pokey LaFarge about their roles as local evangelists who use their powers to manipulate those around them.

The Devil All The Time is on Netflix from September 16th.
