A Fun Enjoyable Psychological Thriller From King

Rating: 7/10 (14 July 2010)

Its been sometime since one of King's works have made it to the big screen, since most of his works go straight to video or television with the likes of IT and The Stand. With 1408, King brings us a serious but enjoyable psychological horror that mixes well with a thriller too.
Performance wise, John Cusack and Samuel L Jackson are on top form and for Jackson it proves he can go for the more deeper smaller screen films in the cinema. Cusack and Jackson work well together here, and show some good moments together.
The eeriness of the film is evident a lot, and we are really messed with psychologically and so you feel like you are getting a good experience. The setting is creepy and you are given the King experience, some moments really grab you and shake you with shock while others entertain your basic nerves.
Really this is a film for King fans, unless you are a horror fan in general you may be surprised, so give it a try.
