Summary
In post-WWII rural Ohio and West Virginia, a young man named Arvin Russell grows up surrounded by violence, faith, and corruption, shaped by his troubled father's grief. As he comes of age, his path intersects with a sinister preacher, a murderous couple, and a crooked sheriff, forcing him to confront the dark forces that have haunted his family across generations.
The Devil All the Time is a 2020 crime, drama and thriller film.
The calibrated figure is built from 900 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 928 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 405 of whom clear the calibration test. 7,929 other films from the 2020s form the cohort it is ranked inside.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where The Devil All the Time lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2020s (7,930 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 900.
