I expected much better!!

Rating: 6/10 (1 October 2007)

When I knew that '1408' is based on Stephen King's short story which carries the same name, I had a feeling this is gonna be one good horror movie....But after I watched the movie, I was shocked with how shallow this plot is. The direction is very good and it really created the atmosphere this kind of movies need, the acting was fine and the cinematography too especially in the last scene inside the room. But the plot did ruin all this, they didn't even explain why the room is so dangerous, they just had Samuel L. Jackson saying 'The room is Evil!!!' and that's the only explanation for what happens althrough the movie. If you only want to watch a movie to entertain and scare you VERY much, well this one could be what you want...but don't waste your time searching for an explanation for what's happening!!
