A mystery thriller with surprise twists

Rating: Null/10 (16 September 2007)

This film is about a writer researching for his book on haunted hotels. He checks in into room 1408, and mystery unravels.
The suspense was well created and maintained throughout. There was nothing very scary, but I must say that this film kept me on the edge all the time. John Cusack did a fine job in portraying his fear, helplessness and desperation. Towards the ending, I was so disappointed by the fact that he got out of the hotel room just like that, I thought the film could not have ended worse. Then, a surprise twist revived the story and made it even more thrilling! There were several plot holes in the film, but it was still enjoyable to watch.
