20 Terrible Movies That Do NOT Deserve Their Fresh Rotten Tomatoes Scores

Score: 64% (Average Score: 6.30/10)

Consensus: The Devil All the Time's descent into darkness can be harrowing to the point of punishment, but it's offset by strong work from a stellar cast.

The Devil All the Time might only just have a fresh score, but this is another case where a film this bad getting anything over 40% feels far too generous.

If there was one word to sum this movie up it would be... 'Nauseating'. And no, that's not just because of all the morbid content this hurls at viewers. It's a film that seems to think it's very deep but the whole thing just feels wildly pretentious, since the picture's philosophical dialogue is irritating as hell and the movie never really says anything very interesting. There really aren't many things more irritating than an empty, unintelligent film that thinks it's smart, as Devil very much proves.

That RT consensus is also inaccurate. There are a couple of disturbing scenes but the film is far too shallow to be particularly harrowing, while the majority of the acting is genuinely abysmal. Most of the cast, including talents like Tom Holland and Jason Clarke, give stilted and bewildering performances complete with ludicrous accents.

So, how did such a bad movie get a fresh score? Although it's solidly directed and a couple of the actors do strong work, the cons far outweigh the pros here. Still, each to their own.

Deserved Score: 20-40%.
