    So now it's the time for me to do a review on the very first film from Netflix which is actually distributed by. So now that I have a new TV because the other one didn't work, it's makes those horrific noises. Now that I can watch anything I want now is the time for me to review the first Netflix film. This is just the beginning. To start off we have The Devil All The Time. Now this is one those movies that you'll see that these characters have their own stories weave together. If you have directors like Guy Ritchie, Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, Steven Soderbergh and many more, they can do exactly that. You mainly focus on the main characters played by the main actors. Bill Skarsgård as Willard Russell who is a father of his son, Arvin. After the war, he went home and he has a rustic cross in the forest behind his house. Spider Man actor, Tom Holland is Arvin who is a grown man who lives with his grandmother Emma and Lenora, his adopted stepsister. Jason Clarke as Carl Henderson who takes pictures of his victims before killing them with his wife, Sandy. Sebastian Stan as Lee Bodecker who is a dirty cop who will do anything to protect his position and he is Sandy's brother. Mia Wasikowska as Helen Hatton who is the wife of Roy Lafferty who believes in God. She also stars in Lawless with Jason Clarke. And then we have Twilight star, Robert Pattinson as a corrupt preacher Preston Teagardin who is charismatic but moral and he has the hots for Lenora. Yeah, you have a helluva good cast in this even for a Netflix film this is something that they pull off well. The fun fact is, you get to see Jake Gyllenhaal name in the credits because he produced it. If you haven't heard of The Devil All The Time even if you are a fan of crime drama's then you haven't got a Netflix account then maybe you should look at Wikipedia or look at any movie websites and maybe it'll get you infested or is it because you think movies from Netflix are not memorable. Or that you don't like the dark tone of it. For what this movie is, this is a good film. It had a narrator telling the story about what's happening, it took directions that I didn't expect, it's based on the novel taken place after years of World War II, it's just an all-around good movie.
