The Devil and the Daylong Brothers

It is a terrible movie with lots of music that happens in the southern backwoods.

Or is it a really bad western located in the southern backwoods with lots of music?

Or it is a long music video with singing cowboys set in the southern backwoods.

Whatever it is, please skip it to save whatever few left brain cells. This film is all over the place, without any rhyme or reason. It has a cowboy vibe, but it is not set in the southern backwoods. It wants to be a comedy, but not funny....ever. Maybe it will be an action thriller? Nope. The action is three stooges, slapstick, and no tension. It is three guys hamming it up in front of a camera(not a movie camera, an iPhone 12, maybe) and singing. Yes...that is it.

An epic and wild ride you won't regret. This movie is unlike one you've ever seen! Camp and vengeance underscored with the most powerful bluesy soundtrack. It was "Hadestown" meets "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" with all of Tarantino's guns... come for the fun and stay for the heartbreak and stunning cinematography in this surprisingly touching story about who and where we come from and who we are destined to be....

Brendan Bradley, Nican Robinson and Jordon Bolden played off one another so beautifully and their brotherly banter was one of the most riveting parts of this film, which says a lot since every moment is action packed. And the music!!! It will stay with me for a long time.

Don't read too much into the plot (hey supernatural doesn't), it's a fun romp with great singing and music. It's basically a music video movie with plot sprinkled in to contextualize the songs and tie them together.

The brothers were fantastic, everyone was very talented in the film and enjoyable to watch. The cinematography of the south was beautiful (I'd rather see on film then visit - not a fan of humidity) and visuals were great. Very catchy songs. It's a great movie to drink and sing along to. It's got a basic overall story it follows, the hate is just from those expecting a traditional movie when this is more music driven than story/plot driven. Just don't take it too serious, pour yourself a drink and enjoy the music/movie.

This movie has a killer soundtrack and some really beautiful scenes. The direction is really effective and it added a lot to the story. It was funny and touching, and had characters that were interesting. It was entertaining to see the men live through rules they just hope will guide them on the right path with little evidence that they're right, and do so with such conviction - it really shows the desperation of people to believe in something, that they can somehow be redeemed I guess. A nice look into the folly of man. I really didn't want it to end and I want to see these characters again and spend more time with them.

The Devil and the Daylong Brothers is a wickedly entertaining, blood-soaked symphony of Southern Gothic revenge, supernatural intrigue, and foot-stomping blues. This genre-bending masterpiece follows three estranged brothers-Ishmael, Enoch, and Abraham-on a relentless, music-fueled quest to hunt down the father who doomed them before they were even born. Sold to the Devil for their father's personal gain, they now work as collectors of souls, chasing down those who made deals with the Devil just like their old man. Their ultimate goal? To settle the score with him once and for all.

With a richly woven mythology and an electrifying mix of action, horror, and dark humor, the film never lets up. The music is nothing short of spectacular-soulful, bluesy, and seamlessly intertwined with the narrative, heightening every moment without ever feeling intrusive. The lead actors deliver powerhouse performances, balancing grit, charm, and pitch-perfect timing, making these blood-stained antiheroes impossible not to root for.

Thrilling, stylish, and dripping with Southern-fried menace, The Devil and the Daylong Brothers is a wild, vengeful road trip you won't want to miss.
