Scary stuff.

Rating: 8/10 (23 October 2008)

This is a good horror movie, really good. It has a used kind of plot but the movie uses it in a very different frightening way. When Cusack first arrives at the hotel, only in the lobby you are starting to get bad vibes, because you know something bad is coming up. And when the hotel manager (Jackson) is starting to warn Cusack about staying in 1408, and telling him everything that has happened there, it only gets worse. I really felt that i didn't wanna see what happened when he went in there. I did NOT want Cusack to walk into that room. Now the really scary parts begin. But scary is good. 1408 delivers what it wants, a scary, mystical, psychological thriller with a really intense mood. Very different from other fast made mediocre horror movies, which seem to just come every single minute. Movies like 1408 is rare, also because of the actors. Good, talented actors stars in this movie. Its not many horror movies which stars this kind of actors. But i think that maybe this is because its a Steven King based movie. Then its not just an ordinary horror movie and draws different kind of thinking, actors and creators. A 8/10. Scary, tense, good acting and nice plot. See it.
