Top class horror/thriller

Rating: 9/10 (3 July 2007)

I'd read positive reviews of this film so I had a look at the trailer, boy it looked good.Written by Stephen King, starring Samuel L Jackson and the God that is John Cusack, I was really looking forward to this cookie.
Cusack plays a horror writer who spends the night in the infamous room 1408 of the Dolphin Hotel, a room that legend says, no man nor woman has stayed in for an entire night.
After having to endure the new wave of 'horror' that has spewed out of Hollywood such as Hostel and House Of Wax in the past it was a real pleasure to watch such a riveting well acted and nervy film as this.No all out gore for gores sake, no nubile teens running around to keep the male audience awake, no, just a good old fashioned horror movie that keeps you guessing to the final frame.
Quite reminiscent of the classic 'The Shining', this
