Psychic Team - Fishing

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2009)

Review: movie is about a room in a hotel known for paranormal activity, room 1408. John Cusack investigates the room by staying in it. The room is controlled by a psychic angler team. What he experiences is all based in his mind even though it may appear the room is being physically changed by the events that unfold, so you will see him asleep part of the time after big events. The goal is to enable him to move into the next life by resolving personal issues from his past e.g. his dead daughter appears to him, but after he hugs her she crumbles to dust (like a corpse)  this is not real but is a role play by the psychic angler team. Other role plays involve his anger toward his Father. If all these issues are resolved to a sufficient level, the target-fish John Cusack can be killed  the method of choice being various forms of suicide. However, due to free will it's up to him whether he accepts this or not. He doesn't, so the cycle repeats itself - at which point he decides to take matters into his own hands. This film is based on a story by Steven King - in which he displays a total understanding of this subject matter.
