On the other hand, many X users are genuinely excited to see the movie, eager to experience the thrill for themselves.

The Bottom Line

Whether some see it as a clever marketing move or are genuinely excited to watch it, a few things about The Long Walk can’t be ignored. First, the movie is based on the 1979 novel by the “King of Horror,” Stephen King, whose cinematic adaptations, including Carrie, The Shining, It, The Shawshank Redemption, and Misery, have captivated audiences worldwide.

Second, The Long Walk is directed by Francis Lawrence, known for Constantine (2005), I Am Legend (2007), and the Hunger Games series. Early reactions describe the film as powerful, brutal, gripping, and a brilliant Stephen King adaptation featuring Oscar-worthy performances. While it appears poised to be one of 2025’s genuinely scary films, whether it’s marketed cleverly or not remains in the hands of the filmmakers.
