If you love dark futures, rebellion, and eerie worlds that feel too close to our reality, 2025 has been packed with dystopian gems worth watching before the year wraps up.

From post-apocalyptic thrillers to deeply emotional sci-fi dramas, these films remind us why dystopian stories never go out of style.

Based on Stephen King’s chilling novel written under his Richard Bachman pseudonym, The Long Walk takes place in a near-future America where teenage boys are forced into a brutal endurance competition – walk or die.
