Dog’s Movie House: “The Long Walk” Not Just Excellent Stephen King Adaptation, But One Of The Best Movies Of The Year!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here! I’m one of those unusual kids who found Stephen King before I was ten years old. I gravitated towards his style of writing and was fortunate enough to be possessed of the maturity and understanding to enjoy his works. The first book of his I read was Firestarter which, while entertaining, wasn’t his scariest book. As I grew older my interest and immersion in all things Stephen King only grew, but as a budding movie buff I found the inconsistent nature of the cinematic adaptations of King’s work! For every classic like “The Shining” there was a “Graveyard Shift” or “Children Of The Corn.” Now, four decades later, we have one of the most incredible adaptations of King’s work ever but to film. It’s titled “The Long Walk” and it is as harrowing, disturbing, and emotional as the story that serves as it’s inspiration!
