Nothing like the "Bates Motel"

Rating: 8/10 (18 September 2007)

As Scary movies go this one is OK, but after the first jump out of your seat moment i.e the clock radio switching itself on and playing the spooky Carpenters Song , you sit there expect the other jump out your seat moments which is a shame.
On the Positive side, this movie does make good use of the one location scenario like cube, and story wise 1408 does have a point to it i.e the backstory with regard to his Daughter.
On the negative is that John Cusacks character does escape the room in the Theatrical version, which misses the point that the room is
1. To Quote Samuel L Jacksons character a "Its a F**K**G Evil Room" 2. 59 People have not survived it.
Pace wise the movie moves along nicely, and due to its one location nature its unfortunate that this makes Mr Jacksons part as Hotel manager small.
However its definitely worth a watch.
