Well done, but...

Rating: 6/10 (22 June 2007)

The story of a man who checks into a hotel room wanting to dispel rumors of haunted hotels rooms only to find that something very odd is actually happening at 1408, 1408 is well done by all technical means. Great camera angles, good acting, good sound, good special effects. But at the same time, I never really connected with the film. I did enjoy the plot, and was interested to see where it went, but some of the horrors faced in the room are mildly cliché, and while the main character was well developed, I never really found myself fearing for his life. So, all in all, it was an entertaining but ultimately forgettable film for me.
