Horror at its Finest

Normally, I would turn down a movie about a haunted hotel room, but this one seemed different. At first, everything ended up being the same, and then the story really started to role, and I couldn't tear my eyes off of the screen.

The story revolves around John Cusack's character, who is a write that tells stories about the most haunted places in the world. With the bland, unoriginal story evolving into terror each moment, I couldn't help but feel I was given a brand new experience, each second evolving into a more and more unique story. Taking a spin on an old idea and making it new gets bonus points from me.

Now usually, I'm disappointed with the acting in movies like 1408, but I couldn't help but feel relieved when the film ended. The acting in the movie was great, and the charac...

1408

1408 is a pretty good tale that replaces scares for genuine chills. The movie takes it time getting started but once it does, it's a good ride. The movie does a good job using disturbing visuals and setting up scenes with much intensity. John Cusack is well cast and good in the lead performance but Samuel L Jackson is badly underused and Tony Shalloub(thanks matt) is just wasted. The movie is a lot better than i thought it would be but other's may disagree.

Recommended to everyone!!!

I thought it would suck, but i got proved wrong. This had to be one of the best movies ever known to man kind. I dont know why other people didn't enjoy it as much as my friends and i. If you take time to try to understand the movie then i promise you will never blink. This movie was fantastic and completely out the box and random. Unlike other horror films you could not predict what was going to happen next. It wasn't even scary. I would recommend this movie to anyone of any age in any country (that speaks English). If i had never seen this movie my life would be incomplete. This movie definitely is number 1

Cusack Saves Movie

This movie was a roller coaster for me. I loved the first half, but by the end I thought it was just ok. I loved the concept, but it got a little too crazy. Even when a movie is completely out there, I still expect it to be real in it's own world if that makes sense. Having said that, John Cusack is wonderful as always. He always finds a way to bring in the light humor that is Cusack even in this dark thriller. I will never look at a hotel room or We've Only Just Begun in the same light.
