The surprising effect of watching THE LONG WALK after such a divisive and worrying week in America -- is the message of hope, sacrifice, and brotherhood the film embodies. These themes break through the stormy, dystopian clouds of gloom from this adaptation of an early Stephen King novel of the same name, blindsiding viewers with the perfect answer to tyranny, authoritarianism and the state: Love. Yes, love. John …

Take a road, a few military props and a small group of young actors and you have the essentials of "The Long Walk". This is story is, in essence, a condensed metaphor, for walking the passage of life, its hopes, its dreams, nightmares and what life truly means to each of us, when its about to end. This is, in its own way, also a harsh repudiation of state sanctioned violence. Where the young are brutally sacrificed, …

This review contains spoilers. As you can probably tell, this isn't a "good movie 10/10" type review and I honestly don't know how to write a good one without spoiling things. I believe these spoilers are necessary to understand just how disappointing the film is and that they don't deter from the movie's "experience". You can already guess that half of the characters will die after the first night and that the main …

I started watching the movie thinking it would be a knockoff of The Hunger Games or maybe Battle Royale, but with a smaller budget. Instead, I found a film that makes little sense and has an even worse ending. The story follows a small group of boys who sign up for a government-organized event where they must take part in an endless walk with 50 participants. The rule is that the first 49 who stop, for whatever …

neutral · AI labelView post →So I was just thinking "The Long Walk" is the best King book/novella that isn't a movie. (Technically it was a Bachman book, but semantics.) So I google it to see if I missed one. And it turns out that one is in production, and our very own @markhamillofficial.bsky.social is in it!

neutral · AI labelView post →THE LONG WALK is one of Stephen King's most harrowing books, and the film adaptation doesn't seem to be shying away from the intensity. It's been rated "R" for "strong bloody violence, grisly images, suicide, pervasive language, and sexual references."

neutral · AI labelView post →Hmm. Don't want to get into spoilers, but the film changes the ending of The Long Walk and I don't like it. The book is a great testament to the futility of trying to come out on top in a fascist society by playing their games by their rules. The ending makes it clear doing so will destroy you.

Stephen King's first ever story (that he wrote, not the first published) finally makes it to film, The Long Walk, which remains one of his darkest ever tales. It's not only chillingly timely, but it walks among the very best of King's adaptations on film. youtu.be/ceyBsCp0dDs

positive · AI labelView post →The Long Walk was the most under appreciated film of 2025. David Jonsson and Cooper Hoffman's performances are still something I think about. A relevant and gutting film.
positive · AI labelView post →Just wrapped up the Comic-Con panel for The Long Walk. Hope everybody in Hall H enjoys the first 22 minutes of the movie! Funnily enough, they had to black out a particularly brutal first death in the movie. Too intense for SDCC! The movie does not flinch, trust me!

positive · AI labelView post →sure but also The Long Walk is a very well made, well acted film with some pretty major issues, first and foremost being it doesn't use the character, plot or world building details — that you'd miss being on your phone — to make a cogent point. it's maybe MORE frustrating with your full attention

For me, 2 things come to mind; Berserk & the Long Walk Berserk may sound controversial, but I just didn't have a good time watching the 90's anime. I felt angry while watching it. I just didn't like the characters for how dickish they were (especially Guts & Casica) and the setting was too miserable for me.
