Unforgettably Amazing!

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2012)

There are a few horror movies that have stuck to my memory over the years, and 1408 is one of the rare few.
1408, in my opinion, is one of the finest and most creative horror movies ever made. It may not be as scary as some of the classics out there, but it is impossible to watch it without admiring its utter originality.
Stephen King (The author of the short story on which this film is based) lets us into a fantastical world where our conceived boundaries between dreams and reality are illusory or even nonexistent. The director's rendition of the story is simply amazing and I'm sure King himself must have been very pleased with the results.
1408 is primarily a visual movie; it is nothing short of a continuous bombardment on your visual apparatus. I mentioned the movie to my brother today and he immediately started recalling specific scenes that he liked. It is really amazing that one can have such vivid memories of a film especially if that film was produced 5 years ago! I believe that 1408 will leave a strong and a lasting impression on everyone who watches it. It is a true work of art.
