The Long Walk, one of Stephen King's oldest un-filmed published works, will arrive in September in wide theatrical release. In The Long Walk, 100 young men participate in a walk down US Highway 1. It is a death march for 99 participants and a dream come true for the lone survivor. These contestants are to keep up a pace of three miles per hour or risk a warning. Three warnings, and the attending military patrol will shoot the straggler dead. The intense trailer created plenty of buzz.

The celebrated king of body horror, David Cronenberg, returns to the genre he helped define after a long absence with his new feature, Crimes of the Future. It is a film that is a vision distinctly and uniquely his own. It has a talented and attractive cast. It comes back to body horror in a big way, and yet the film narratively underwhelms.
Alexandre Aja's latest film, Never Let Go, stars Halle Berry in post-apocalypse survival mode with her two boys. This has strong A Quiet Place / Birdbox / Arcadian vibes going for it. The trailer for the September 27 release just dropped. You can check it out right here.
