Psychological to the max.

Rating: 7/10 (23 June 2007)

"I am not going in that room." And as well you shouldn't, one crazy little room indeed. Well, Stephen King sure knows how to creep people out with his stories, even though this is only based on a short story by King, its still very well elaborated and plays out very well as a movie. This movie was extremely psychological and 100% haunted house type of scary. 1408 definitely has its twists and turns, and definitely questions the paranormal. I found myself waiting and wondering what other creepy element will scare the hell out of me or definitely freak the hell out of me and Mike Enslin (John Cusack). This film was incredibly intense, well, psychologically intense anyway. I was disappointed to see Samuel L. Jackson having only a minor role, although he's an important character, he's only in the film for about 20min; 20 very important and creepy minutes. In my opinion, this film was pretty stunning, it just wasn't you're average and ordinary slasher(well, not exactly slasher)/horror/psychological movie, it was even more than that, it broke through those boundaries and created something imaginative and something worth watching. Sure, things that happen in this film are still questionable, but hey, it's a room from hell, so it can do what ever it wants. Music is good, definitely pumps up the creep factor to 10. Acting is also really good, John Cusack did a great job, it really feels like this character is going mad and you feel like joining him in the process. There's only so much you can do inside a room, and there's only to much that can happen in room 1408.
