One of Stephen King‘s perceivedly most “unfilmable” stories has finally gotten the screen treatment. The Long Walk, which the horror maestro first released back in 1979, was adapted for the big screen and is now hitting on-demand streamers after its theatrical run.

The Long Walk was one of King’s releases under the pseudonym Richard Bachman and is beloved by millions. It is also a precursor to fellow dystopian survival stories centered on children like Battle and The Hunger Games (King himself once even said as much in his Entertainment Weekly review of the latter).
