THE LONG WALK
The film
A group of teenage boys compete in an annual contest known as “The Long Walk,” where they must maintain a certain walking speed or get shot.
One of the very first published Stephen King books, actually under the pen name Richard Bachman. Really enjoyed this. Really tense, great core cast, and so much more violent than I thought it would be. They are legit walking the entire movie and I felt worn out just watch these guys go through it. The basic premise is highly ridiculous, but if you just get on board, it’s quite a ride.
