1408..Really had a great touch on its viewers..Simply a masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (14 November 2007)

When i first watched the trailer, i thought that 1408 would be a Thriller/Adventure type of movie. But once i saw it yesterday, i totally changed my mind and i'd completely classify it into the horror genre without any doubts.
John Cusack's magnificent and outstanding appearance have presented the character Mike Enslin beautifully that i cant suggest any other actor for that role.He introduces Mike as the father who lost his daughter and left his wife, and he became a man that specializes in abnormal phenomenas as well as writing books. What John Cusacks also brings to the character is that Mike doesn't fear anything since he doesn't believe in anything,which assures the viewers and makes them comfy. The manager of the hotel Mr.Gerald Olin (Samuel L. Jackson) tries to persuade Mike out of going into that room,but Mike insists and he heads on to his mission.
Once he's in the room, all hell breaks loose and Mike becomes really SCARED..leading to a complete 180 degrees turn in the audience point of view as they get scared themselves,and again i say that John Cusack's acting really got into most of the viewers. The director Mikael Håfström has done his part when it came to bringing the pieces of this movie together as well as reaching the point to scare the audience through a new technique, and also a nice sophisticated ending.
1408 is a genuine masterpiece that i'd recommend to any horror movie fan. 10/10
