Welcome to the Death March Lottery The Long Walk (2025) is a haunting adaptation of Stephen King’s early dystopian novella, finally brought to the screen by director Francis Lawrence. If you’ve never read the book, go in blind. That’s the best way to experience the movie’s slow-burning tension, emotional gut punches, and existential horror. The premise?

Toxic Delays & Indie Vibes The Toxic Avenger (2025) isn’t actually a 2025 movie—it was made in 2023 but spent two years in distribution hell. Why? Because Lionsgate reportedly thought it was unreleasable. Enter Cineverse, the same indie distributor that got Terrifier in theaters. They finally launched it with limited showings in late-night slots, even in Austin, TX (the supposed debut city). So yes, the film arrives with a ton of baggage—but is it worth the wait?
