My second favorite of the year, might actually put in my top 50 of all time. Good movie.

Rating: 8/10 (20 October 2007)

The set up for the movie is great. Samuel L Jackson plays a Hotel manager for the Dolphin, and he is the one that sets it up perfectly. Yes we have the main actor John Cussack, playing a not so famous writer, that writes about Ghosts, or in his reality the fact he believes their is no such a thing as Ghosts,by the fact he has gone to many hotel's that claim paranormal activity, and had has yet to encounter such an experience, he is basically skeptical and humorous about it with witty lines. So when Cussack decides he wants to check out 1408 a room in the Dolphin Hotel, the room at first is off limits, but Cussack and his lawyers find a loophole to get in. Here is the part that shone so well, Samuel Jackson try's every trick in the book to get Cussack not to go in the room, not for the sake of Cussack, for the sake of not cleaning out the mess, he goes about telling him the history, very convincing and sets up what could or might happen perfectly, this is key part, of the movie to the transition to main event, to Cussack experience in 1408.
OK, am not going to start spoiling the movie. But Samuel Jackson sets up very well. This movie actually creep me out, for a couple seconds, that hardly ever happens. had the type of ending I like. I recommend this movie, to people that like a good scare, or a good story. It might be confusing here and there, for some, but is part of the intricacy and what makes this movie interesting in the first place.
