An instant classic. A stunning, shocking and mind-blowing edge of your seat thriller. Even at the end you'll still be amazed. It runs on pure fear-fuel. It's terifying and unforgettable. It's gripping, original and riveting. It's one of the best supernatural thrillers in a long t...( read more)
Please note that this review refers to the theatrical version, and not the Director's Cut DVD release which features a completely different ending.
Mike Enslin is a cynic. He is the author of books that detail and debunk popular ghost stories and haunted hot-spots, and it quickl...( read more)
This Stephen King adaption is a rather lame horror film in each and every regard. The acting and camera work can't be blamed, they are doing decent jobs here. The problem either seems to be the original story (that I don't know) or the adapted script, because if you have seen a h...( read more)
I can never be truly afraid of a Stephen King movie as I know he just makes things up -- with never a concern with realism. In this case, Mike (John Cusack) is a scary-things author who doesn't believe that anything is actually paranormal. Of course that is until he runs into R...( read more)
"It's an evil fucking room."
What Stephen King novels have not been made into movies? It just feels like it only needs his name and the movie is already in production. There aren't that many King adaptations that are actually good. 'The Shining', 'The Green Mile', 'Shawshank Red...( read more)
Starts out great! But, unfortunately, it dulls when the action starts to pick up.
Horror like action films and romantic Comedies has fallen prey to the disease that is formula. There hasn't been a full blown, original horror film in a long time. But now I have faith the genre can be saved thanks to a film called, 1408.
1408 is a notch above the reg...( read more)
Why is the room haunted?
The movie should have ended when he woke up on the shore, it would have so made sense. This way it is just scary for no reason. But it is also very morbid and insane in a disturbing kind of way, which I could easily relate to, considering my own nightmar...( read more)
I know it's Stephen King's..but I totally hate the ending, 'nuff said.
1408 is one of the good Stephen King adaptations, one that maintains its author's sly sense of humor and satiric view of human nature. full review
An entertainingly hairy paranormal affair based on a King short story, 1408 sets up its star -- and its audience -- for a blood-curdling, bone-chilling night of horror. full review
If I ever check into a hotel room and the clock radio is playing the Carpenters, I'm going to freak out. full review
When it comes to Hollywood's treatment of his works, Stephen King hasn't always hit the jackpot. But with this smart and highly entertaining ghost story his luck may change. full review
Swedish director Mikael Hafsrom, who scored with Evil in 2003 and fizzled badly with Derailed two years later, seems to have regained his footing. full review
John Cusack is virtually a one-man show in the claustrophobically chilling 1408. full review
1408's mixture of supernatural hullabaloo and spiritual awakening is sturdily propped up by Cusack, whose performance is equal parts caustic cynicism and empathetic turmoil. full review
An excellent creepy psychological thriller horror. I don't like to be a spoiler in my reviews, so.. let's just say. Go see this ! You'll like it ;-) Enjoy.
i thought it was a good movie because stephen king is my favorite author/writer..at first i so excited bcoz its like it wud keep thinking what's in that room..but the ending is very disappointing..it is...
First real movie I have seen in awhile. Not all about the SFX or the unrealistic storyline. A truely watchable flick that makes and delivers no promises. One to watch if you can appreicate a good movie. Not for for those looking for cheap thrills, but for true movie buffs.
I thought it would be better, but it was the biggest disappointment I have ever saw. The beginning gets you all excited then when you start to see the horror part you are like thats it, please. To me, it was a waste of money. I say little kids about 2 or 3 can watch this movie. It should be rated G. I like horror where it scares you to death.
I love this movie!!!!
Its not that scary, but still keeps your eyes on the screen
Finally a good movie! There's a good storyline and the tension is at the right level. You can feel it if something is going to happen, but you don't jump a mile off your seat. It has a good ending, which confirms that everything that happened in that room was real.
P.S.: I've read some posts saying John Cusack died, but that's not true...try watching the movie better next time.
