Scared the living hell out of me!

This is it! This is one of the best ghost movies since I watched The Others, with Nicole Kidman. It also is one of the best Stephen King adaptations since Misery. And I'm not considering The Myst here, which I also think it's great, but 1408 is much better.
Everything in the movie have it's merits, since the production, the script, the performances, the actors themselves, everything shines here.
When you see the main character Mike entering the room, you start to have that tickle, like, despite everything seems so normal, boring and stuff, still, something isn't right with that place, you don't wanna go in there, you don't wanna stay there. And boy, when things really starts happening, it comes those shivers through your entire spine. I'm not kidding, I've sh*t my pants watching this on the big screen and I still do when I watch it from my DVD.
And when you watch it, it's so intense that it's like if you were there with John Cusack, experiencing the whole thing. You are really dragged into the movie. I love movies that can drag you into the experience.
The actors really pulled it out, the direction is amazing, the effects are superb, I mean, just go watch it. Ten skulls... I mean, stars, easily! Plus, this is the movie that really brought me into Stephen King. Yes, I've watched The Shining before, and I'm still a huge fan of the movie, but when I first watched years ago, I was more interested in science fiction literature. But after 1408 and The Myst, I've read the 1408 tale from King and started to get interested by his work, and bought The Shining and Dreamcatcher books to read.
So, in a nutshell, just watch this movie, pal. Simple, just watch it. If you like horror or supernatural stuff, you'll thank me, believe that!
