The Long Walk Review
‘The Long Walk’ May Be One Of The Best Stephen King Adaptations Ever. Director Francis Lawrence’s adaptation of Stephen King’s ‘The Long Walk’ is moving and powerful, with outstanding performances from its entire cast. Stephen King began writing ‘The Long Walk’ in 1966, at the age of 19, while a student at the University of Maine, and eventually published it 13 years later under the pseudonym Richard Bachman.
Rediscovered after his Bachman cover was blown in 1984, ‘The Long Walk’ has since been acclaimed as one of King’s finest early novels and a frightening depiction of a totalitarian future in which citizens are mere fodder for the regime (at the time King wrote it, it was an allegory for the Vietnam War).
