What a disappointment. What starts as an interesting premise just slides into silly episodes of ridiculous imagery, hallucinations and mumbo jumbo that becomes tedious. John Cusack is always interesting to see on screen and there is a trust that you invest in him as an actor. but sadly here his character is abrasive and selfish and sadly argumentative. Cynical. As a result as he bounces off walls (that drip jam/jelly/blood/yawn) you end up not giving two hoots how he is coping. I actually think 1408 is an allegory for DETOX. I mean that the film is about drug addiction and 1408 is the detox (room) that one endures and the demons faced during.
