One of the Best Horror Films In Years

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2019)

8 July 2007. 1408 sets a new standard for horror films since The Blair Witch Project (1999) and rivals The Shining (1980), The Omen (1976), and The Exorcist (1973) for its ability to bring something new and innovative to the horror genre. Strangely, its not some much the John Cusack gives an Oscar performance rather that the script and special effects work so well with his acting and on-screen time that the combination is a special, heightened horror experience that one has not witnessed in years. One of the best movie (any movie) of the year, this is a must see, standard textbook film for any serious student of the horror genre.
