Director: Mick Davis
A courtroom stenographer's quiet fury boils over in Walden, a 2023 American horror-thriller starring Emile Hirsch, streaming with Persian dub and subtitles on K-Time.
What is Walden about?
Walden Dean spends his days transcribing other people's crimes, word for word, sentence for sentence, while something in him keeps score. Diagnosed with a terminal illness, he stops waiting for the justice system to catch up with the guilty parties he has watched slip through it for years. Director Mick Davis builds the film around Hirsch's controlled, increasingly unsettling performance as a man who decides his remaining time is best spent settling accounts. Shane West, Kelli Garner, and Tania Raymonde round out a cast caught in the fallout as Walden's private ledger of grievances turns into something far more physical and far harder to undo.
Cast & crew
Emile Hirsch anchors the film as Walden, working opposite Shane West, Kelli Garner, and Tania Raymonde, with David Keith and Steve Coulter filling out the supporting bench. Mick Davis directs from a script that leans into slow-burn dread rather than jump scares, giving Hirsch room to carry long, dialogue-light stretches on presence alone.
Context & significance
At 102 minutes, Walden sits in the lane of character-driven American horror-thrillers built around a single unraveling protagonist rather than an ensemble body count, closer in spirit to a courtroom drama gone wrong than a slasher.
