An Unexpected Surprise!

Rating: 7/10 (12 August 2008)

1408 is a very good horror movie, as much as I didn't expect it to be. I guess I should've known it would be this good seeing how it is based on the literary work of Stephen King. 1408 follows a man named Mike Enslin. He believes, after much trial and error, that there is no such thing as the paranormal. But then he stays at Room 1408 in the Dolphin Hotel, and discovers that paranormal activity is most definitely real!
The reason this movie was so good (besides the fact that it's based on a King book)is that the acting was simply remarkable on John Cusack's behalf, and most of the other actors as well. Also, it was portrayed very well on film, thus making it very easy to buy into. After seeing the movie you might actually believe in the supernatural. So needless to say, I'd recommend this movie, and after seeing how well done it was, it seems impossible for any fan of scary movies not to like this one as well.
