Some people are born to be buried. That’s the takeaway from The Devil All the Time, Netflix’s new film, and a new trailer gives us a first look at the star-studded thriller.

In Knockemstiff, Ohio and its neighbouring backwoods, sinister characters — an unholy preacher (Robert Pattinson), twisted couple (Jason Clarke and Riley Keough), and crooked sheriff (Sebastian Stan) — converge around young Arvin Russell (Tom Holland) as he fights the evil forces that threaten him and his family. Spanning the time between World War II and the Vietnam war, the film is based on Donald Ray Pollock’s award-winning novel.

Behind the camera is director Antonio Campos, while the cast also includes Bill Skarsgård, Mia Wasikowska, Harry Melling, Haley Bennett and Pokey LaFarge. You can see them all in action on 16th September.
