Last night it was The Devil all the Time, a Netflix original. If you EVER, EVER needed a reason to NOT live in a little, nowhere town in Appalachia in the 1950's and 1960's, you can find it here, in Knockemstiff. With all this murder, it's not hard to understand why the population doesn't increase.
It's one of those slow-burn movies with a lot of dialog and voiceover narration, not unlike Shawshank Redemption, but creepy and violent and not in New England.
Do you understand that I do NOT....now OR then, want to live in Knockemstiff? I was relieved when it was over, but not because it wasn't well done, but because I'd take the risks of the city any day over living in this place where I'd probably die anyway but only after my brain rots out from disuse and I become one of them. And....I'd have to learn the art of expressive spitting if I want to fit in, such as THAT is. It's low on budget and FX, but with an excellent cast and extremely high on cerebral dysfunction. Do you get that I don't want to live in Knockemstiff, even if I do have a pair of bib overalls with one button undone?
