Stephen King’s suspenseful thriller, The Long Walk, is now available to rent or buy in the UK. If you’re looking for a truly unsettling movie this Halloween, this film—based on King’s 1979 novel—follows a group of young men who risk everything on a dangerous journey for a chance at a life-altering prize.
The idea is simple: just keep walking. However, the men are really risking their lives, because there’s no clear end and only one person can win. They have to walk at least three miles per hour, or they face deadly consequences.
The cruel villain known as The Major is in charge of this difficult task. As the men start to weaken, he shows just how heartless he is, sending a frightening message to everyone else.

You can now watch The Long Walk, which came out earlier this year, on Prime Video and Apple TV+.
You can rent the Ultra HD movie on Prime for £15.99, or buy it for £19.99. It’s also available to watch with an Apple TV+ subscription.
Francis Lawrence directed this thriller, which features Cooper Hoffman as Ray Garraty and Judy Greer as his mother, Ginnie.
I’m so excited to see Mark Hamill as The Major in this new show! He’s playing this really powerful figure who oversees all these young competitors – seriously talented guys like David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, Charlie Plummer, Roman Griffin Davis, and Ben Wang are all part of the cast. It’s going to be amazing to watch him interact with them.
Critics loved The Long Walk, giving it an 88% score on Rotten Tomatoes based on 278 reviews. Slate magazine called it a remarkably streamlined and powerful version of Stephen King’s story.
ComingSoon.net called the movie “perfect” and deeply affecting, saying it’s a film that will truly shake you. They also noted that the violence in The Long Walk isn’t entertaining – it’s intensely disturbing.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film is full of the strong emotions and genuine feeling that define the most successful Stephen King adaptations. However, it’s still a tough watch.
According to Variety, director Francis Lawrence’s The Long Walk is a gripping and unexpected dystopian drama, even if it doesn’t quite reach the level of emotional intensity it strives for. The film is deeply rooted in themes of individual character and broader societal values.
The Long Walk is available to watch now on Prime Video and Apple TV+.
The latest issue of Living Legends is now available! You can purchase Ariana & Witches at newsstands or online for only £8.99.
