The Long Walk
This is exactly what I thought it would be, and more. And I wasn’t disappointed in the least. I would say most of the time, when a film is exactly what I think it is, I tend not to enjoy it as much. Most people would probably say that. However, in this case, the film being exactly what it’s marketed as is exactly what it needs. There’s no surprises, no sudden twists or turns. But at the same time, it’s still so new and is jam packed full of monstrous and heartbreaking moments. It’s not surprising, but it definitely catches you off guard. There’s not too much to talk about in terms of story. Again, it’s exactly as it seems. Walk or die. The thing I loved the most is how personal it gets between the characters. It’s not just strangers who walk and do whatever. They all connect with each other, which helps the audience get a better understanding that everybody is a somebody. It’s a very character driven film, which is usually my favorite kind. Not just one character, either. Everyone matters in some sense. Not always the sense you think, but everyone matters. Most of the performances by the cast are god-tier. Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson show why the future of film is in good hands. Ben Wang and Tut Nyuot are also phenomenal, and dark horse candidates for best supporting characters for this year. The cinematography and lighting are also fantastic, and one of the main reasons I stayed drawn in. You might think that there’s only so long that you can watch people walk, but the visuals really help give this a gritty but beautiful look. Tragic, but beautiful. Overall, it’s easily one of the best horror films of the year, and definitely one of the best Stephen King films out there. I would recommend it to all horror/thriller fans. This film is officially Berry Approved, so go see it now!
