It’s only August, but 2025 has already proven to be a spectacular year for new horror movies. The best of the bunch, Weapons, is arriving in theaters this weekend, but it’s following on the heels of a number of amazing works including Companion, The Monkey, Sinners, The Rule Of Jenny Pen, Final Destination: Bloodlines, Bring Her Back, and 28 Years Later. It may make you wonder if Hollywood will be able to keep the head of steam going and really bring it during spooky season, but I’ll remind you that one of the most exciting titles on the way in the fall is the upcoming Stephen King movie The Long Walk – and it not only looks like a brilliantly brutal cinematic experience, but it sounds like it was also a seriously intense mission for the cast.
Insight regarding the extreme exercise on the set of the new Francis Lawrence-directed film is the lead headline of this week’s edition of The King Beat, but for those of you who are looking for something to watch more immediately should check out Stephen King’s latest social media-posted movie recommendation. There is a whole lot to discuss, so let’s dig in!
