I recently watched the Laos movie 🇱🇦 The Long Walk (2019) on Shudder. The storyline follows a little boy as he discovers that he has a unique gift to see dead people who help him in life and he also helps them in the afterlife. We also see the boy 50 years in the future who has now mastered his powers. He uses his skills to return back in time to when his mother passed away that changed his life forever.
This picture is directed by Mattie Do (My Dearest Sister) and stars Yannawoutthi Chanthalungsy (Love Beyond Death), Vilouna Phetmany (The Signal), Por Silatsa, Noutnapha Soydara and Chanthamone Inoudome (Dearest Sister).
This movie is so well put together with fantastic character development, subplots and a methodically but perceptive fly executed storyline. This is a slow burn, which is the perfect way to team a story like this. The characters and their meaning within the overall premise is fascinating. This had a Sixth Sende vibe in a lot of ways without it being a secret in anyway...you just wait to see how the pieces of the puzzle fit together. Everything is obviously going to be sad, but you're still dying to know what happened and what's going to happen. The ending of this movie is so good.
In conclusion, Long Walk is a wonderful paranormal story about life, death, dedication triumph and peace...I really loved this movie. I would score this an 8.5/10 and strongly recommend it.
