Rated lower than it deserves to be

Rating: 9/10 (31 May 2020)

This movie is innovative. It pretty much delves into psychological and existential horror while also containing contemporary horror elements.
If you put yourself in the character's shoes, you will quickly realize why it's such a fearful experience. At first, most of the encounters will seem like everything is being staged by the hotel staff but as time goes by, stuff gets crazier... To the point that one might start to question what's real and what isn't. Some people like to disect this movie for having 'crappy' or 'weird' vfx or whatever but I disagree, I believe they were intentional.
The jumpscares in this movie are well timed and feel liked well earned, unlike most modern horror films.
The hype this movie sets up for room 1408 does simply not disappoint. A must watch horror film IMO!
