Welcome to hotel hell?.......no thanks!!!

Rating: 1/10 (29 December 2007)

First of all my comment doesn't have spoilers because there is absolutely nothing to spoil. The film is based on a short story by Stephen King. He is a very good writer and I have not red the story but the movie seems to have a very poor adaptation. There was no logic, structure; plot and I just don't know what's going on.
It wasn't entertaining or psychologically thrilling and also stupid e.g. If the room 1408 of the hotel is evil then why did the hotel manager (Samuel L. Jackson) keep the key safe instead of throwing it away? And giving it to someone after being persistently persuaded for barely 5 minutes.
There are 3 kinds of fear in a horror movie, 1: When the villain or monster is after someone. 2: The suspense or mystery of something bad that is about to happen. 3: The sudden "BOO" moment that makes you jump out of your seat. 1408 had absolute none of these and 1 + 4 + 0 + 8 = 13 wow so scary (sarcasm). Overall it was an absolute rubbish & disposable film that was forgotten in 15 minutes. The best horror movie of 2007 is Dead Silence.
