Mr. King will be pleased!

Rating: 7/10 (31 October 2007)

Another movie based on a Stephen King novel but for the first time since The shining, a good one.I never thought Mikael Håfström would survive in Hollywood after Derailed but 1408 shows another side of the director which has not been internationally known until now. The movie is classic King-style with a chosen victim who will destroy evilness from inside. The script is not that well written but okay. It is very well directed thou with amazing horror-scenes. John Cuack is perfect for the main character, compleseant and arrogant but we in the audience know it will cost him. I never red the book but if Stephen King is not pleased, i still think you will be.
