A film which reassures that the horror and thrill legacy has not been entirely reduced to blood and gore

Rating: 8/10 (22 June 2007)

This was truly one of the best horror films I have seen in a long time - a film which reassures that the horror and thrill legacy has not been entirely reduced to blood and gore.
A non-stop scare ride, 1408 is well worth seeing and features rich performances by both Cusak and Jackson,as well as other stars.
The film provided the audience with genuine fright, delivered by a colorful script and a terrific story by Stephen King.
The graphic effects used retain traditional style while at the same time delivering traditional frights and scares, usually sudden and unexpected, but sometimes anticipated and all the more terrifying.
Surprises are abounding, and emotions are evoked throughout.
I strongly recommend seeing this truly frightening film.
