Hey guys
Today I'll show you a horror film called: "The Devil All the Time"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
Willard and his son pray at their makeshift crucifix
The film flashes back during World War II, while Willard Russell is serving in the Solomon Islands
He and other soldiers find their colleagues skinned and crucified by Japanese soldiers
we could see the pain in the eyes of the crucified man,
an experience that you would not wish even on your worst enemy
Willard ends the crucified man's agony with a bullet through his head
After the war, on his way home to Coal Creek West Virginia, Willard passes through Meade, Ohio
He stops by a diner and orders himself a nice meal
Willard meets Charlotte, a waitress at a diner
Willard instantly falls in love when he sees Charlotte's gesture to a homeless man asking for a meal
He also meets a photographer named Carl Henderson
On Willard's way home, he rides with his Uncle Earlskin;
and he shows him a gun that he says Hitler used to kill himself
When Willard goes home, he immediately tells his mother about Charlotte
His mother says that he wants him to meet a woman from church
One day, Willard visits the church with his mother; and the preacher that time is Roy
Roy is a bizarre evangelical preacher
The preacher pours a jar of spiders over his head while giving sermons to demonstrate his faith in God
The people in the church are in shock with Roy's gesture;
but it makes them believe more in the words that he is saying
Eventually, Willard and Charlotte marry and move to Ohio, where they have a son whom they name Arvin
The couple is saving up money to purchase a house
Willard gathers up planks; and he makes his crucifix for his prayer ritual
Willard writes a letter to his parents, telling them that he is now praying again
One day, Willard sees his son with a black eye;
and he tells his son he should fight back against the bullies
Willard and his son go out to pray at their spot
He tells his son that he should pray as he meant it
Two men pass by, while Willard and his son are praying;
and the men begin talking naughty things that they will do to Willard's wife
Willard finds the two men and beats them up
Willard goes back to his son, and tells him that is how to fight back
It is a really messed up thing to say to a growing child
Eventually, the doctors diagnose Charlotte with cancer
Willard believes he can influence God with a hardcore prayer, to remove cancer from his wife's body
One night, Willard is drinking his pain away; and the bartender lady offers her prostitutes
He believes that God is asking him to make a sacrifice for his wife
So he prays to God, and then sacrifices Arvin's dog,
kneeling before a rustic cross that was erected by him previously behind the house
Arvin is angry at his father for killing his dog; and he asks his father to bring his dog back
Nevertheless, Charlotte dies despite Willard's efforts
Willard commits suicide by slitting his throat
Arvin sees his father, and immediately reports to the sheriff with pie smeared all over his face
The sheriff thought it was blood
Years earlier, Helen Hatton married Roy Laferty
Helen and Roy later have a daughter named Lenora
During a sermon, Roy's face is bitten by a spider, and his head swells up
Roy locks himself in his room; and through this isolation, he prays to God
When his allergies settle down, he walks out from his isolation
The following day, Roy and Helen visit Willard's parents; and Helen reads Willard's letter
She then leaves Lenora with the old couple before driving off to the woods
While Roy and Helen are praying in the woods,
Roy surprisingly stabs his wife in the neck with a screwdriver;
and blood spews out from her neck
Roy tries resurrecting his wife with prayers, but fails horribly
Roy drives away with his brother;
and he tells his brother that he is planning to tell the incident to the police
His brother tells him that he sounds like a crazy man;
and the police would not believe his smelly bullshit
Eventually, Roy leaves his disabled brother in the car; and he hitchhikes
Carl Henderson and his wife Sandy pick up Roy from the streets
Carl parks the car in the woods; and he forces Roy to take off his clothes and touch Sandy
Roy refuses to have a nasty hormone game with Sandy
Roy, with a gun on his face,
contemplates the afterlife that he has been talking about in the church
Roy says his daughter's name for the last time; and Carl shoots him in the head
In 1957, Arvin goes to live with his grandmother
There he meets Lenora, who becomes his adopted stepsister
He grows up to be fiercely protective of Lenora
One day, local boys bully Lenora; and Arvin stands up for her
Afterward, Arvin goes with Lenora to visit her mother's grave
Lenora wipes off blood from Arvin's nose; and they talk about their parents
Arvin tells Lenora that his father might still be alive
Lenora says that she has already forgiven his father
Lenora tells Arvin to forgive his father for his sins
Lenora grew up to be god-fearing; and she is not certain that her father killed his mother,
making it easier for her to forgive her father
On the other hand, I believe Arvin would never forgive his father,
because the trauma that his father gave him is tattooed in his head
He might have nightmares of the incident even when he is now grown up
One day, A new pastor arrives in their town
The people are told to bring meals to the church to welcome the pastor
Arvin's grandmother brings chicken liver to the church, because it is all that they can afford
The pastor tastes the chicken liver; and he begins a sermon about poor people
The pastor continues shaming the old woman for bringing chicken livers
The pastor says that he is making a sacrifice by eating all of the chicken livers
The old woman goes home crying; and Arvin comforts her
It is very obvious that the pastor appreciates the meal;
and what he did to thank the woman is the opposite of kind
Eventually, Lenora grows close to the new pastor
she walks by the pastor's house because it is raining
At the same time, Arvin waits for Lenora's bullies; and he beats them up one by one
This scene greatly reflects the effects of his father's attitude when he was younger
The pastor takes Lenora to the woods, where he says to be his prayer spot
minutes later, the pastor seduces Lenora to take off her clothes, and begins tongue massaging her
Lenora believes that she can feel the lord's presence when the pastor is touching her
On the other side of the story, Carl and Sandy are preparing for their trips
Sandy's brother is a sheriff; and he is starting to hear about the scheme his sister is doing
The sheriff is planning to run for a position, but his sister's scandal may affect his reputation
The sheriff is doing a lot of sketchy things on the side that the people may discover because of his sister
Later on, Carl and Sandy continue with their usual skit
They pick up another victim, and bring him to their spot beside the dam
Sandy offers the victim alcohol; and Carl insists on taking pictures
The victim agrees; and Carl stages the photographs
Eventually, Carl harms the victim, and continues to take pictures
On the couple's drive to another spot, Sandy reveals that she does not like what they are doing
Carl offers Sandy a nice meal at a motel; and she agrees
When they get to the motel, Sandy reports his husband to the authorities
Going back to Lenora's story, Lenora tells the pastor that she is pregnant with his child
As expected, the pastor denies her accusation
The pastor suggests to Lenora to find a way to terminate her pregnancy,
because she will bring disgrace to her family
Not having any desire to carry disgrace to her family,
Lenora plans to end her own life by hanging herself
After the unfortunate event, the authorities examine Lenora, and find out she is carrying a child
The authorities inform Arvin; and Arvin believes that the pastor is the father
Arvin begins following the pastor; and he discovers that the pastor is seducing another young lady
Arvin follows the pastor to the woods, and sees him having sex with the horny young lady,
fantastic but too fast Arvin then follows the pastor to his house;
and he sees the young lady giving fellatio to the pastor
After his discoveries, Arvin confronts the pastor
Arvin confesses the pastor's own sins to him
The pastor realizes that Arvin was spying on him and his hormone activity;
so he tries to explain himself
But Eventually, Arvin kills the pastor, and he runs away
This is the climax of the movie
I have the urge to punch the pastor myself,
and get a huge relief when seeing Arvin kill him because he really deserved it much,
for he even dares to play such a nasty hormone game in the open wild
Then the film abruptly transitions into a lighter theme with jolly music
The sheriff goes to the people that he is doing shady business with
He wraps his gun with a thick cloth as a silencer, and proceeds to kill the henchman
The sheriff then goes upstairs, and kills the boss
This action frees the sheriff from scandals he might encounter when he runs for his election
his only problem now is his naughty sister
The sheriff's sister and her photographer husband are picking up strangers again
This time the couple picks up Arvin, tying their stories together
The couple interviews Arvin, and asks him where he is headed
Arvin feels something wrong with the situation; and he seems uneasy
Arvin sees the gun from the photographer's back;
and he prepares for the bad things that are about to happen
Arvin grabs his own gun; and when the photographer is about to threaten him,
Arvin quickly responds with gunshots, which kills the photographer
Sandy is in shock with Arvin's action; but she also has a gun with her
Sandy shoots Arvin, but unfortunately, it's revealed that earlier, Carl unloaded Sandy's gun
Arvin shoots Sandy and kills her
After killing the couple, Arvin gathers the couple's items that may be useful to him
After the incident, the sheriff gets notified of the tragedy
Eventually, the sheriff begins his investigation;
and he finds his sister's naked photographs with different men
He burns these photographs to get rid of the pieces of evidence that his sister is a whore
Arvin visits his childhood home in Ohio
The man by the station recognizes Arvin;
and he tells Arvin that his childhood home burned down ages ago
Arvin thanks the man for helping him the night his father died
They reminisce about the terrible incident;
and I think this is Arvin's way of healing his wounds from the past
The man reports to Arvin that the sheriff who helps him, happens to have a sister who recently died
Arvin realizes that the sheriff's tragedy is his own doing; and he immediately leaves
The man notifies the other authorities of Arvin's arrival at Ohio;
and this news got to the sheriff looking for Arvin
The sheriff remembers the night that he helped little Arvin as he was looking for his sister's killer
Arvin then proceeds to look for the same spot that he and his father used to pray
He finds makeshift crucifixes that lead to the spot where his father died
Arvin digs for the remains of his old dog;
and he gives it a proper burial that he promised when he was a child
Arvin hears a rustling in the leaves; and he hides in fear
The sheriff announces his presence, and looks for Arvin in the woods
Arvin prepares his gun as the sheriff comes near him
Arvin commands the sheriff to give up his weapon, and says that he is also armed
The sheriff tells Arvin that he is wanted for the consecutive murders of the preacher,
the sheriff's sister, and the photographer
Arvin confesses that all of the people that he killed deserve it;
and he tells the sheriff that he has a photograph of the sheriff's sister naked beside a dead man
The sheriff finds Arvin; and Arvin immediately shoots the sheriff
The bullet goes to the sheriff's torso; and the sheriff immediately loses his balance
Arvin disarms the sheriff of his weapon, and shows him the photograph of his sister
The sheriff dies; and Arvin leaves his body in the woods
Arvin hitchhikes; and a hippie picks him up
Arvin's mind wanders off; and he begins thinking about his life before all of the unfortunate events
He begins wondering about enlisting himself to become a soldier;
and he is not certain where life will take him
He falls asleep with the thought of gratification that somebody is giving him a ride somewhere
The movie ends with somber music that wants the audience to feel comfortable,
despite all of the gruesome scenes and series of unfortunate events that happened to the main character
Maybe that is what life is all about that moment of gratification where you relax,
even when life takes you to places that feel like hell
It is at that moment when you feel secure, in the most bizarre places
In this case, Arvin's ride to nowhere in the vehicle of a stranger
We must find those places in this terrifying world,
which highlight the comfort that we should be thankful for
