Believe it or Not, "1408" Might Actually Be Good.

i think most of you people are clutching at straws...
i loved the film - and it angers me to see the reviews above blastin the film - u think you're all that because you can slate a film on your computer - BIG FUCKIN WHOOP - grow up or go out there and prove me wrong by making a better film with all that money you've got!

Very good.

Intriguing treatment of the story. Adaptations of Stephen King novels/novellas are often diappointing when brought to the screen but this one delivered. If you're watching it as a non-stephen king reader, it's still a very good movie - pace, intrigue, love, loss, 'an evil f***ing room'.

Excellent performances from Samuel L. Jackson (of whom I'm not generally a fan)and Cusack (who proves that his best work comes from his inherent cynicsm).

It was pretty bad.

If the director had any idea how to develop a character, it might have stood a fighting chance. Instead, we see all the typical movie garbage about overcoming obstacles in your life through a supernatural phenomenon. John Cusack (spelling?) looked too much like his annoying sister (I think they're related, otherwise it's a sad coincidence) for me to care much about any of his characters anyways. I kept expecting it to break into a cell phone service commercial.

The director simply took a basic formula and added a bunch of gory and surprising crap to make it seem scary.

Don't see it unless you're looking for a comedy.

I loved it, it reminded me a little of the Silent Hill movie, which i loved with a passion, but they didn't do as well as they could have with it. 1408 has everything the others don't, and do. Suspense, a bit of comedy... it's a genuinely disturbing movie, for once. It's both in your face "BOO" style, and "holy **** what the heck is going on!?" sorts, you know, phycological terror sort of thing. I don't think there is anyway to improve on it, it was just that good, i know i'm gonna buy it when it comes out!

I saw it on Friday. It was pretty darn good for a PG-13 thriller. It was very creepy the whole time, and at times it got a little scary, but mostly it was interesting, and original. I've never seen anything like it. It kept me on the edge of my seat with its intensity the whole movie as well. Good stuff...

It was an o.k. movie but I expected it to be better. Previews made it look really scary but it was just o.k.

i liked the action in it

it was ok

i swear this movie is gonna be kick ass!

Finally...a true suspense thriller movie!!!!! I am soooo looking forward to seeing it - and John Cusak is so great to watch as well.

John Cusack has the ability to carry just about any film. Ithought the previews looked great. I do have concerns that Stephen King Books are not always adapted well to film so I guess we'll have to see.

hello...its a story by Stephen King of course its not going to be your typical Hollywood thriller.

I loved the short story "1408" that Stephen King wrote. But the adaptation to film is COMPLETELY different.

But yes, I do want to see it.

it's the only time a trailer made me freaked out. i'm definately pumped for it, and even more so now that the critics love it too. i hate modern "torture-porn" horror flicks, so a good old fashioned suspense/thriller is just what the doctor ordered.

I have been waiting for this movie for a while I hope it is as good asit looks to be
peace

dude. i loved disturbia. and this looks good too. i'm deff. gonna go see it.

i might see it. seems interesting.

I'll probably see it. I mean it's got great critic and user reviews. I've heard its not especially scary but that its just a really good movie out and out.

i might check it out but im not sure if it will be good at all.
