Lately, for Hayden Silas Anhedönia, time feels like a slippery concept. If she’s not playing shows halfway across the world, she’s usually tucked away in her bedroom, a quiet hideaway in Pittsburgh with a sloped roof that doubles as a portal to another world.
Here, the hours glide by, one after the other. She might spend 12, 13, even 14 hours trapped inside, leaning over her computer, lost in the expansive sounds she’s creating. “You’ll get up at 9 a.m. to start working, and then you’re like, ‘Oh,...

Updated: “The Batman” spinoff series about Arkham Asylum at HBO Max has brought on Antonio Campos as its new writer, Variety has learned exclusively from sources.
Sources also say that Campos will direct and serve as showrunner/executive producer on the series, should his version of the show ultimately go forward.
Although Matt Reeves had previously said that the originally planned Gotham Pd series had “kind of evolved” into what is now the Arkham Asylum show, an individual with knowledge of the situation now says that the two are in fact completely separate and that the Gotham Pd series remains in development. The Gotham Pd series was originally announced in July 2020 with a series commitment. At that time, the show was meant to be about the inner workings of the Gcpd and set within the same world as Reeves’ “The Batman,” with Terence Winter writing and executive producing. But news...

Colin Firth will play Michael Peterson in a series adaptation of “The Staircase,” which has been ordered to series at HBO Max.
HBO Max has ordered eight episodes of the limited series, which is based on the docuseries of the same name and various books and reports on the Peterson case. Peterson was accused of murdering his wife, Kathleen, in 2001. He claimed she died after falling down the stairs at their home, but police suspected he bludgeoned her to death and staged the scene to look like an accident. The docuseries was originally released in 2004, with creator Jean-Xavier de Lestrade updating with new information years later. Netflix released it as a 13-episode series in 2018.

Photo: 'The Devil All the Time'/Netflix The Devil All the Time Review: Without any apologies, director Antonio Campos thrusts his viewers into an eerie hellscape. Based on the dark novel The Devil All The Time written by Donald Ray Pollock, the film follows several members of two small Appalachian communities whose paths cross in unexpected and often unsettling ways. At the center of the intrigue is Tom Holland, who delivers a brave performance as Arvin, the resilient victim of childhood trauma and unfathomable anguish. As its twisted plot winds up and down the country roads between Ohio and West Virginia, this story illuminates the hypocritical hedonism of religious leaders and the brutality of war and poverty in mid-20th century America. Deluded by their deranged faith, many of the film’s characters perpetrate deplorable acts and then justify them as “God’s will”. As the morally destitute...

Antonio Campos's film adaptation of The Devil All the Time breathes life into the 2011 novel by Donald Ray Pollock, who narrates the thriller. The film - which premiered on Netflix on Sept. 16 - follows a variety of violent and disturbed people from the end of World War II to the start of the Vietnam War. Told nonlinearly, their stories are woven together by the narration through chance meetings and circumstance. In order to fully understand The Devil All the Time's ending, we need to break down its premise, the preacher, the serial killers, and the shoot-out that brings everything full circle.

At its core, The Devil All the Time is an examination of undeserved misfortune and the intergenerational effects of ignorance, impulsivity and wickedness. Based on the novel by Donald Ray Pollock – who coincidentally narrates the film – director Antonio Campos’ tour de force places front and center this concept of inherited burdens, effectively saddling its audience with the same oppressive weight and despondency that we’re forced to watch our characters endure.
Campos explores these concepts in a period drama that takes place across twenty years in the American heartland, beginning when Willard Russel (Bill Skarsgård) returns home from World War II to find love and marry and have a child in Knockemstiff, Ohio. But despite the beautiful life he’s built, he remains endlessly tormented by the memory of mercy killing a man left crucified alive by the Japanese army, which ultimately leads him to have a corrupted view of religion and morality.

This article contains The Devil All the Time spoilers. You can read the review here.
After so much bloodshed and tragedy, few could expect to find peace at the end of things. That includes Tom Holland’s taciturn Arvin Russell. Yet sitting in a Volkswagen next to a long-haired gentleman, one who appeared to be part of the vanguard for the next generation, the often hyper-observant Arvin is letting his guard down, and a sense of ease washes over him for the first time in probably his whole life. On the radio, President Lyndon B. Johnson is droning on about some type of troop build-up in Vietnam, but Arvin’s mind is on his past, and the bodies it left buried. Or perhaps it’s on his future too, as he mildly considers the prospect of joining the U.S. Army.
The truth is he doesn’t know. As author Donald Ray Pollock...

Since the first sinister trailer for Antonio Campos’ adaptation of Donald Ray Pollock’s novel The Devil All the Time arrived, the film has caused quite a buzz. This is the latest Netflix original to land, a pitch black drama set in the Ohio town of Knockemstiff where the corrupt and the lost intertwine in a mix of horror and tragedy. One of the standouts from the trailer is the incredible A-list cast brought together for this ensemble piece. Robert Pattinson plays a predator preacher, Bill Skarsgard a damaged war veteran, Sebastian Stan a dirty cop and Jason Clarke and Riley Keough husband and wife serial killers.
“I wasn’t like Nick Fury showing up,” laughs Campos when he chats to us about building his cast. “It’s a very long drawn out process.” Though he has two actual Avengers in his line up, this is a portrait of villains...

Netflix's The Devil All the Time, which premiered on Sept. 16, features a star-studded cast, but the most important character is one we don't see. The movie, based on the 2011 novel of the same name, starts off with the oddly soothing Southern drawl of an unnamed narrator before following a variety of violent and "disturbed" people from the end of WWII to the start of the Vietnam War. It's this overarching narration that fills in the gaps and helps piece together the nonlinear story the movie tells. Although the voice sounds familiar, invoking images of actor Sam Elliott, it doesn't belong to an actor - it's the book's author, Donald Ray Pollock.
In the novel, the narrator is considered omniscient, knowing what everyone is going to do before they do it and why they've done it. It's fitting that director Antonio Campos chose the original novel's author to play this...

To deliver director Antonio Campos’ “The Devil All the Time,” based on Donald Ray Pollock’s acclaimed 2011 novel set against a rural backdrop during the period between World War II and the Vietnam War, cinematographer Lol Crawley aimed to show a town out of step with the times.
“We had this idea that the rural environment of the film was slower to catch up [with modern advancements] and should feel like an Andrew Wyeth painting,” Crawley says.
The film, which premieres Sept. 16 on Netflix, revolves around Arvin (Tom Holland), a young man who runs a gantlet of corrupt clergy, husband-and-wife serial killers (Jason Clarke and Riley Keough) and a crooked sheriff (Sebastian Stan) in the tiny town of Knockemstiff, Ohio.
Crawley and Campos infused the scene that introduces the church — a location that serves as a focal point of the story — with a dark and moody feel filled with earth tones, one that matches the period aesthetic.

Is it cynical or bitter? That’s a hill I find myself dying on on a regular basis, so it only makes sense for The Devil All the Time to add to the pile. Written by Antonio Campos & Paulo Campos from Donald Ray Pollock’s novel of the same name, this adaptation hints at being both. Its depictions of violence are detached and objective. Its characters’ actions are often anything but. Campos’ fifth feature examines that cognitive dissonance at times, but that dissonance itself feels incidental. Too amoral to be cynical and too stagnant to be bitter, this Gothic tale confuses its pieces just enough to prevent it from leaving an impact.
It’s not for a lack of trying, though. Here’s a saga of around 10 main characters and more than a few jumps in its timeline. After serving in the Solomon Islands in 1945, veteran Willard Russell (Bill Skarsgård...

As town names go, Knockemstiff is something of a knockout. It’s evocative, to be sure: a pulpy heartland-gothic handle as evocative as the wizened and instantly recognizable face of an aged character actor. It a place that immediately sounds like it has a preacher you can’t trust, a sheriff with ulterior ambitions, and a steady stream of low-lying but grotesquely violent crooks passing through. It’s also, it turns out, a real place in Ohio — and the hometown of author Donald Ray Pollock, whose 2011 novel The Devil All the Time...

The Devil All The Time hit Netflix on Wednesday (September 16), with Antonio Campos (2016’s Christine) directing a cast crammed with stars like Tom Holland, Bill Skarsgård, Riley Keough, Jason Clarke, Sebastian Stan, Haley Bennett, Eliza Scanlen, Mia Wasikowska and Robert Pattinson.
Based on a novel by Donald Ray Pollock, The Devil All The Time is a Southern Gothic, a mix of murder mystery and psychological thriller — with a touch of horror — that focuses on the inhabitants of a town called Knockemstiff, Ohio and their intertwined post-World War II history of murder, adultery, madness, depravity and religious fanaticism.
The 2011 novel was praised by outlets such as the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and Publishers Weekly, with French literary journal Lire even naming it the best novel of the year. That made it a natural to be turned into the kind of adult-oriented melodrama that the major studios have largely abandoned,...

One of Netflix‘s biggest releases of the month dropped on the site this week – psychological thriller The Devil All the Time. Antonio Campos’ film, as based on the novel by Donald Ray Pollock, had generated a lot of buzz beforehand and now that it’s here it’s fair to say that the hype was justified, as it’s blowing away critics and fans alike.
One of the big draws of the movie is its incredible cast, with the talented ensemble including Sebastian Stan, Riley Keough, Mia Wasikowska, Jason Clarke, Robert Pattinson and Bill Skarsgard. But at the center of the film is Tom Holland, in a role that’s miles away from his famous turn as Spider-Man in the McU. And all are in agreement that the British star rose to the challenge with aplomb.

Antonio Campos’s star-studded backwoods Gothic thriller “The Devil All the Time” has skyrocketed to the number one position on Netflix’s most-streamed movies list in the 24 hours following its debut. It’s hardly a surprise given the film pits Tom Holland against Robert Pattinson. “Devil,” based on Donald Ray Pollock’s 2011 novel, casts Pattinson as pastor Preston Teagardin, a preacher who sexually abuses young girls and grows a liking to Lenora (Eliza Scanlan), making him an enemy of her friend Alvin (Holland). The character is one of Pattinson’s most despicable and is marked by the actor’s high-pitched Southern accent, a definitive character trait the actor refused to let anyone hear until his first take on set.
“Rob was impossible to get dialect coaching,” “Devil” director Campos said in an interview with The Insider. “He just didn’t want to do it. He was just adamant about figuring it out on his own.

“The Devil All the Time,” debuting Sept. 16 on Netflix, plunges viewers into the darkest recesses of damaged souls. There are blood sacrifices and serial killers, sexual deviants and false prophets, deranged fathers and murderous sons. Think Flannery O’Connor with a much higher body count. Director Antonio Campos, the acclaimed auteur behind “Christine,” returns with a cast of heavy hitters that includes Tom Holland as an orphan who can’t seem to escape his family’s violent past; Sebastian Stan as a cop on the take; Riley Keough and Jason Clarke as a couple with a sadistic hobby; and Robert Pattinson as a perverse priest. Campos spoke with Variety about why he adapted Donald Ray Pollock’s novel and what he’s missing about the movie business in the age of Covid-19.

Robert Pattinson’s florid preacher is one of a gallery of geeks and grotesques in this grisly smalltown tale
This gruesome, violent, backwoods-gothic noir is directed by Antonio Campos (known for his more intimate chillers such as Afterschool and Christine) and adapted from the 2011 novel by Donald Ray Pollock – and it’s the author himself who supplies the deadpan drawl of narration. In the small town of Knockemstiff, Ohio (name not made up), grisly horrors metastasise over generations.
Tom Holland plays Arvin, a troubled orphan teen, haunted by the loss of his parents; his stepsister Lenora (Eliza Scanlen) has a chilling connection with a creepy local couple, Carl and Sandy (Jason Clarke and Riley Keough), who have a penchant for driving around picking up hitchhikers: these trusting young men tend to go missing afterwards. They’re also connected with the corrupt cop, Sheriff Bodecker (Sebastian Stan) and Lenora’s path...

The cast that director Antonio Campos had to work with on his film “The Devil All The Time” is staggering, including Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Mia Wasikowska, Bill Skarsgård, Sebastian Stan and more. But while many of them live oceans apart from the small town where his film is set, Campos says they each brought a distinct outsider’s perspective to the seedy side of American society.
In fact, though the characters in “The Devil All The Time” are all meant to be inhabitants of Knockemstiff, Ohio, the film features at least three Brits, several Aussies and two other Europeans (Skarsgård and Stan). The film’s only Americans are Haley Bennett, Riley Keough and Pokey Lafarge.
Campos said that while the film’s supporting cast of extras is all made up of locals and he didn’t intentionally cast non-Americans, they still captured the authenticity in Donald Ray Pollock’s story.

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.

Spider-Man, Pennywise, Edward Cullen, The Winter Soldier, and Dudley Dursely are part of the unholy ensemble assembled in The Devil All the Time: a black-as-sin slice of Southern Gothic based on the novel by Donald Ray Pollock. Set between the end of World War II and the Vietnam War, the film presents a sprawling tale of violence and misery passed down through generations. At the center is Arvin Russell (Tom Holland) an essentially decent young man whose father (Bill Skarsgård) had returned from the war traumatized into a religious fervor that leads him to prostrate himself in front of a home-made woodland crucifix every night, fighting, as Arvin says, “The devil all the time.”

It would’ve been improbable, ten years ago, to imagine the mind behind Afterschool directing a high-profile Netflix production marked minute-for-minute by recognizable faces, not least of which are the current Spider-Man and Batman. Yet major funding and marquee names have not dulled the uncompromising worldview of Antonio Campos, whose latest feature The Devil All the Time—adapting Donald Ray Pollock’s novel of the same name—weaves the decades-long vision of a small Ohio town in bleak (and I mean bleak) registers.
But when photographed by the brilliant Lol Crawley and featuring Robert Pattinson as a predatory southern preacher, The Devil All the Time is hardly some improbable offer. I talked to Campos about his collaborations, the Netflix machine, and something that seems worlds away from his form: laughter.

Devil May Care: Campos Composes Heady Southern Gothic
For his fourth feature film The Devil All the Time, based on the 2011 novel by Donald Ray Pollock (who is on hand as a guiding omniscient narrator), director Antonio Campos aims for something more ambitious with a sprawling Southern Gothic saga, intersecting three distinct storylines spanning eight years infected by turbulent events. Southern Ohio and West Virginia become the backwoods foreground for a tale of violence, trauma, and virulent corruption from both the law and the pulpit with a dizzying set of connected characters.
Its existence as a two-and-a-half-hour narrative which is cohesive, compelling and at times repulsive is a feat, though there is enough material to justify an expansive mini-series.…...

Antonio Campos excels at making damaged or heinous characters front and centre, getting under the skin of a socio-psychopath or delving into mental health issues and depression, Campos finds entertaining ways to portray very difficult topics. Working on equally compelling television he returns with his latest feature in four years, The Devil All The Time, masterfully adapted from author and film’s narrator Donald Ray Pollock. Directorial efforts on the small screen have certainly paid off here, as his latest is a satisfyingly complex weave of disturbed killers, sinners and memorable characters played by a stellar cast. The razor-sharp character focus inherent in his other films is broadened into a twisted tapestry, and his adaptation...

Netflix is on a roll with new original programming lately. September alone has already welcomed such huge hits like unnerving horror I’m Thinking of Ending Things, romantic comedy Love, Guaranteed, sci-fi drama series Away, comedy horror mash-up The Babysitter: Killer Queen and so much more. But of course, there’s still a few other big releases to come, too, and this week (September 16th) is bringing arguably the biggest one of the month.
You may know Tom Holland as Marvel’s current friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, but the young actor is happy to be taking a darker turn in The Devil All the Time. The psychological thriller – based on the Donald Ray Pollock novel of the same name – tells the story of an Ohio man named Arvin (Holland) who must contend with an onslaught of bad people seeking to harm his family.

Antonio Campos delivers a star-studded, darkly comic psychological thriller set in the postwar American Bible belt
“There’s a lot of religion going around with this thing,” says Mickey Rourke’s shell-shocked gumshoe in Alan Parker’s Angel Heart, a devilish mix of neo-noir intrigue and gothic horror based on William Hjortsberg’s page-turning novel. The same could be said of The Devil All the Time, a similarly genre-bending tale of twisted faith and postwar trauma, adapted from Donald Ray Pollock’s 2011 novel, which drew comparisons with Flannery O’Connor, William Faulkner and Cormac McCarthy. Set between the aftermath of the second world war and the gathering storm of Vietnam, it’s a labyrinthine tale of hardscrabble lives and monstrous deaths in woodsy environs, littered with fanatical fornicating preachers, misguided, faith-fuelled sacrifices and tortuous family legacies, passed unforgivingly from one generation to another.

Tom Holland on Brutal Character in Netflix Film: “I Had to Go Places Mentally I Didn’t Know I Could”
Hearing Tom Holland’s name typically evokes images of a web-slinging Peter Parker on a quest to save the world while getting the girl, an occupational hazard of starring as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Some of that surely will get displaced once global audiences get introduced to his latest character, Arvin Russell, a brutal and bloodied young man on a quest to fight the forces that have threatened his family in Antonio Campos’s The Devil All the Time.

There is no reason to care about anyone in Antonio Campos’ “The Devil All the Time,” . More a pileup of scenes and tragedies strung together than the Altmanesque kaleidoscope of intersecting lives it could have been, this slog of an adaptation from Donald Ray Pollock’s terrific Appalachian gothic is dead from the start, with stars like Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson eagerly doing their best to resuscitate the corpse for a nearly two-and-a-half-hour running time.
Director Campos has excelled in mining the masculine and feminine in much smaller-scale movies like indies “Afterschool,” “Simon Killer,” and “Christine,” but that once nimble and focused approach — generally on films that chart an individual’s psychic unraveling into a murderer, sociopath, or suicide case — doesn’t translate successfully to a broader canvas. “The Devil All the Time” has to juggle so many characters that it becomes incoherent and basically boring onscreen, bobbing more...

Blood is spilled by devout Christians, psychopaths and ordinary folks in The Devil All the Time, and if God is watching, his response never varies: He keeps out of it.
Antonio Campos’ (Christine) adaptation of the even more violent 2011 novel by Donald Ray Pollock brings a lot of talent to bear on material descended straight from Flannery O’Connor via Cormac McCarthy. Set in the ’50s and ’60s in two rural Appalachian towns, it ties faith and violence together in a less showy and obvious way than many of its predecessors.

The only aspect of this year that’s felt like business as usual when it comes to entertainment? August was pretty dead. September, however, is another story. Moviegoers willing to risk the trip will finally get to see Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, at least in the parts of the country where theaters have reopened. And those staying home won’t want for options, either, thanks to some ambitious new science fiction and horror series; an extremely of-the-moment TV movie; and new feature Charlie Kaufman, and the long-awaited return of Fargo.

Netflix movie The Devil All the Time has released its first trailer, showcasing an impressive ensemble within a bleak piece of dramatic Gothic Americana. Indeed, the film is headlined by Marvel’s current big screen Spider-Man, Tom Holland, opposite DC’s imminently-debuting big screen Batman, Robert Pattinson, setting up a collision course of characters so seemingly epic, it might just make you forget to wish they were in their respective crimefighting outfits.
The film was directed by Antonio Campos, who worked off a script he co-wrote with brother Paulo Campos, adapting Donald Ray Pollock’s 2011 novel of the same name. Bearing a story spanning from World War II to the 1960s, the film is set in the rural Ohio town of Knockemstiff, centering around a young man (Holland) who not only discovers a dark secret about his family, but becomes threatened by some of the corrupt locals, most notably a...

In about a month’s time, Netflix is releasing one of its most anticipated movies of the year, The Devil All The Time, an intense psychological thriller from director Anthony Campos featuring an all-round incredible cast. In the lead is Spider-Man star Tom Holland, but his role here is nothing like the friendly neighborhood wall-crawler and you can now see the British actor as you’ve never seen him before in the first trailer for the film up above.
Based on the award-winning novel by Donald Ray Pollock (who provides the film’s narration), The Devil All The Time sees Holland joined by a host of A-list actors. Namely, Jason Clarke, Riley Keough, Sebastian Stan, Eliza Scanlen, Bill Skarsgård, Mia Wasikowska, Harry Melling, Haley Bennett and Robert Pattinson, in what looks to be a scene-stealing role as a twisted preacher.

The trailer then introduces us to an unholy preacher (played by Robert Pattinson), a twisted couple (Jason Clarke and Riley Keough), and a crooked sheriff (Sebastian Stan) in a series of scenes played around this voiceover: “How and why people from two points on a map without even a straight line between them can be connected is at the heart of our story in Knockemstiff.
