A mini mix blend of "The Shining" and "The Bates Motel" that causes screams!

Rating: 8/10 (23 June 2007)

I must say "1408" is a well done ghost story of the mind and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. John Cusack is a California ghost writer, who has a unique hobby of traveling the country investigating reports of ghosts in legendary hotels. His work includes spending the night to disprove the theories. Well once he learns about the Dolphin Hotel in New York city it has room 1408 he's now in the big leagues of ghost and terror. The scenes of ghosts, shadows, voices, dreams, are similar and bring viewers to think of hotel terror classics like "The Shining" and "Psycho". The countdown for life is monitored by the clock alarm radio that will countdown from 60 minutes till 0! This film is great mind terror a real good head trip that makes the viewer think is it a dream or real. Overall well done it provides screams like a roller coaster, a viewer is on the edge of their seat.
