Watch 1408 For Free

Why so much hype?

Sorry, this movie sucks

A Disappointing Continuation

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Well well well,for me this is one of the best philosophical stories I have watched on the screen, besides best performance for John Cusack in his whole history, I saw it as a person who entered the life we know, suffering, struggling, living in agony with few moments of joy and happiness, I changed see even when he think he is safe and OK and finds out he is not, he is still living his true life, every pain you can imagine is in this movie, prisoner, phobias, loss, isolation, death, and weaknesses, I know may be I can not explain what I c as good as u can figure it out when u watch the movie from this perspective, All respect to everyone involved in that movie, I gave it 9 just because the sound tracks could be better It's not an horror movie, it's something else from Stephen kings

The film starts interestingly enough with a good build up to the infamous room 1408. The room itself is pretty damn scary with some really jumpy moments of ghostly activities. The effects are very solid looking and the claustrophobic paranoia pulled off really well. The problem is that when he leaves the room for the first time the story becomes confusing and pointless. The ending (of the theatrical version that I saw) is very weak indeed. Overall I would say that you can watch it but be prepared for it to get boring when the scary room has been left behind and even when it is rejoined. Effectively scary room that has little other reason for watching.

This movie is enjoyable - but embarrassingly predictable. The acting was .... over the top. (to a point that it was rather funny) The pacing of the movie is its greatest flaw. Twists and turns happen at a time when it can not possibly be happening, considering the length of the movie - which renders those twists (unsurprisingly) pointless.There are some great scenes that reminded me on something out of a Lovecraft story - but all in all - it was a simple story of redemption.

In a world that's over saturated in adaptations of master of the macabre Stephen King's works it can be tough to stand out. But creams rises to the top and this is one of the best. The premise is pretty simple but fascinating and it's executed marvelously. Relies on tension and mystery for it's scares not mindless gore.
