The Long Walk (2025) Movie Review, ENDING Explained & Changes From The BookDescription
Fresh from the theater, we break down Francis Lawrence’s The Long Walk (2025)—the new Stephen King adaptation starring Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Mark Hamill, and Judy Greer.
We start spoiler-free with story setup and tone, then move into book vs. movie changes (pace rules, state-by-state selection, and a reworked finale), before a full spoiler discussion on character arcs, themes of authoritarianism, grief, and survival.
We also share production nuggets (yes, the shoot was in Canada) and why the performances had us in tears. Along the way, we place The Long Walk inside 2025’s horror boom and the current wave of King projects.
