So simple yet so engaging… oh there will be blood and yes I will watch
I remember reading that book years ago and thinking how the simplicity of it all made it so horrifying. Can't imagine the level of stupid or desperate you would have to be to enter the contest. The two black guys in the trailer were brothers. I wondered when I read the book "have these brothers already said their goodbyes to one another? Because one has to die for the other to win".
Stephen king serial killer minded ass was probably like one day I was watching the ny marathon on tv and was wondering why were people so happy even when they lost. They were happy that they got through the race and that they accomplished such a challenge. Well I didn’t like those smiles , I didn’t like that they got to go home feeling like they accomplished something even if they lst, i I don’t think the stakes were high enough, there is no glory in losing. So I decided to make a story about only 1 win only 1 person being able to go home and how the losers suffer a violent fate. Yeah now that’s a story that needs to be told. Win or die
Cinema needs more of this . Is been awhile since ive watched something besides a super hero flick
Do you even go to the theater? Only a handful of super hero movies come out a year
I never really daw much that interested me everything is a revival of a dead franchise like housepart. A lot of it is a nostalgia grab wnd live action disney movies i cant releate to a lot ofshotrhey put out annd if it looks interesting is on the appple kr amazon app instead of a theateical release.
Budget under 10 million.. let's go low budget flicks.. show hollyweird we don't need big budgets to make good movies
This looks very interesting

"The novel that’s arguably Stephen King’s darkest has been made into a new movie, and it just debuted on Rotten Tomatoes with a perfect 100% critics’ score.
Film adaptations of King’s work have come at a consistent rate since Carrie was released way back in 1976. A few of these movies - The Shining, The Shawshank Redemption, Misery, Stand By Me – are now considered cinema classics.
Then there are the King adaptations that are not considered cinema classics. King himself has slammed a few of the biggest stinkers based on his books: infamously terrible movies like The Lawnmower Man, Dreamcatcher, Graveyard Shift and, most notorious of all, the one King directed himself, Maximum Overdrive.
September 2025 sees the arrival of yet another King movie adaptation, coming after The Monkey and The Life of Chuck, and ahead of The Running Man. Whether it hits or bombs at the box office is yet to be seen, but critics thus far appear to be on-board with the latest sojourn to the King universe.
The Long Walk Debuts With A 100% Rotten Tomatoes Score
The Long Walk comes out in theaters September 12, and reviews are starting to come in on the long-awaited King adaptation, leading a so-far-spotless RT score. Based on King’s dark 1979 novel, published under his pen-name Richard Bachman, the dystopian drama concerns a twisted, Hunger Games-like competition, in which young people must keep walking or die, with no finish line.
Only 12 critical assessments have been compiled thus far, but The Long Walk currently sports a 100% fresh rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
What This Means For The Long Walk
An early RT score of 100% bodes well for The Long Walk as it gets set to release. At the same time, there have only been 12 critical write-ups counted so far, and early reviews do tend to be the most positive, skewing results.
These few enthusiastic early assessments of the latest King adaptation praise the film for handling its dark, dystopian premise in a way that yields a genuinely emotional experience. Stars Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson are singled out for their fine performances, both being lauded as rising movie stars.
First reviews of The Long Walk rank it among the best King movie adaptations, drawing particular comparisons to early films like Stand By Me. Director Francis Lawrence also gets his praise, with critics calling the movie possibly his best.
Reviewers commend The Long Walk for taking what was in its day a stark Vietnam War allegory and reworking it in a way that gives it new relevance in light of today’s issues, helping the film to become one of the best of 2025.
If such sentiments continue being expressed in further reviews, The Long Walk will indeed take its place as one of the highest-ranked King adaptations on RT, but there’s still a lengthy stroll ahead as more critics have their say."

Powerful movie
Tut Nyuot as Arthur Baker
Tut Nyuot plays walker #6, Art Baker, who grew up dirt-poor in Louisiana. He is also a religious boy, and he feels he has nothing to lose by undergoing The Long Walk should he make it to the end. His wish is to go to the moon in a rocket, but he also wants to make some friends.Nyuot played Shen in The Witcher: Blood Origin (2022) and Tyrone Stevens-Mensah in Dark Money.
I saw the movie tonight it's not for the squeamish.
Mr. Nyuot put in a good performance, but I had a very hard time believing that he was from Louisiana and it's not the accent.
