Nice way of spending an evening

Rating: 7/10 (27 September 2007)

A guy that doesn't believe in anything paranormal any more lives his life sleeping in "haunted" places and writing reviews about their scare factor. When someone points out a specific room in a hotel he searches out its history and finds it interesting enough to give it a try. After settling in for the night it starts like any other night in a "haunted" place - nothing happens. But it doesn't quite stay that way.
1408 is a fun little film where most of the events happen in a small contained area - a specific room of a hotel. It is a little predictable but not to the degree where that becomes irritating. The things that happen as the film rolls on are varying between fun and mediocre standard stuff but all in all add up to a nice way of passing the time. Effects add to the film as they aren't half bad and there's more than enough events to keep the pace up.
All in all a nice little half horror. Not (really) scary, not great, but fun.
