1408- Scary Psychological Thrill-Ride

Rating: 9/10 (10 February 2008)

This movie scares anyone. Even people who are not usually scared by horror movies. I had to turn it off at night and watch it in the morning because I was scared. It's heart-stopping. Warning though: If you're looking for violent blood-splatting thrills, this is not the movie. But if you're looking for a pop-out thrill ride with chilling images and mind-bending elements,this is the movie for you. John Cusack is doing a one man show most of the whole movie and I gotta say that he should have gotten a golden globe or Oscar for best actor. He was that good. He's an underrated actor who deserves credit. He lets you know he needs to get out of the room, and even though it's risky, he thinks it over and makes your heart stop with his Tour De force performance. One problem I had with this movie was the marketing campaign. Two of them. The trailer made me think this was going to be another Shining, just a copy of it. But I was wrong, of course. 2nd one was that Samuel L. Jackson was acting like an important character in this considering the posters with his face next to Cusack and trailers seeming that he might be evil, but really, he's in there for about 6-10 minutes. So he's really not that important. That's probably the only problem I had with this movie. I loved it, best psychological horror movie I have ever seen.A must see. 9/10.
