One of Steven King's best.

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 2009)

1408 is a spectacular scary film. Not only is it a scary film, it's also a tear jerker. John Cusack stars as Michael Enslin, a haunted destination author who is told not to go to room 1408 at the Dolphin hotel in New York. He goes there anyways. Once he gets there, the manager of the hotel Gerad Olin(Samuel L. Jackson) tries to bribe him out of it by Scotch and Knicks tickets. But of course he refuses. So he stays in the room. Appaerently, there have been fifty six deaths in that room. One person even drowned in soup while staying in that room. Michael goes through tons of stuff. The room even gets inside his head and causes him to see things and people from his past. 1408 is a fantastic film. If you exclude The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, then this is his best film. All of Steven King's horror films usually suck. 1408 is one of the rare few that actually doesn't and is a great film. John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson are amazing actors. Both are probably on my favorites list. Supported by scares, drama and a great cast, 1408 is a top notch scary film.
