Decent thriller

Rating: 7/10 (10 July 2010)

I really liked most of Stephen King books, but many of the adaptations of his stories into movies were weak, dumb and usually don't made justice to the original material. Fortunately, this is not the chase of "1408", a very decent thriller, inspired in one of the stories of Stephen King. Despite having some clichés of the ghost-film genre, this movie has enough tension and thrills to kept me entertained until the end. The performances were pretty good and the atmosphere was very well made. Even when the script and the characters aren't the most original thing that you could imagine, the whole thing worked very well, at least for me. "1408" without being a masterpiece, works very well as a decent thriller.
7/10
