Not Cusack's best work(this could contain bits of a spoiler)

Rating: 1/10 (24 June 2007)

I looked at my watch at least a dozen times during this movie. The more times I look at my watch the worse the movie It is two hours of my life I cannot get back.
Don't get this wrong I love most of John Cusack movies. From "The Sure thing to Serendipity. He is a very underrated actor.
But this is one movie I think he would like to forget.
He lays Michael Enslin a cynical writer who debunks a lot of these so called haunted houses and the people claim they live in.
He gets a post card from "The Dolphin Hotel " telling him to not stay in room 1408. After many calls from him and his publisher's lawyers he goes to the hotel and asks to stay in 1408.
The Manager keeps telling him not to go into that room, any room but that room since there is pure evil in this room.
It keeps you wondering what is really and what is not. It twists and turns away too much and Mr.Cusack seems to overplay the part in this one.
My suggestion rent it when it comes out in a couple of months. It is so not worth the $10 dollar ticket or what ever you pay for movie tickets in your area.
You really want to save some coin, wait till it comes to your local library in a year or two.
