creepy and disturbing

Rating: Null/10 (15 November 2007)

"1408" is a strong movie, very frightening but intense as well; a lot of torment is given by many shocks, stomach turning thrills and suspense. It's about a ghost story but scarier than other ones; has certainly some flaws, the film scheme is not that perfect but the evil is shown with a terrifying impact and the fear you feel over the course of the movie is prolonged. John Cusack delivers a superb performance and the story makes sense, a couple of years after "Derailed", a work by the same director that wasn't a masterpiece.. The adaptation of Stephen King's novel seems to be quite faithful and that's another reason why the story is enthralling.
