My cable was out today, so I decided to rent a movie. Not much looked good, and I wanted to scare myself a little, so I chose 1408. I know it has been out for a little while, but I am a John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson fan, so decided to give this one a try. It is based on a Stephen King story, and... read full review »

Before I begin this review, I'd just like to say one thing. People who talk during the entire length of movies should be put on a blacklist and banned from movie watching forever. Even in their own homes. On to the review.

 

Plot: Mike Eslin researches and debunks hauntings at locations all over...

WARNING: This MAY contain mild spoilers of this movie. I tried not to, but otherwise, my critiques made no sense.



I loved the story written by Stephen King, so when this hit the theatres, I broke my usual rule about NOT going to see a movie on opening day when the theatres are crowded with screeching, laughing, stupidly-horsing-around kids, and went right out to see it with my girlfriend.

It was a well-casted movie, with strong, supporting players adding even more lustre to Cusack's very emotional role. As a writer-type myself, I can see where he would be coming from with his reactions to things...

Now plenty of people are avid Stephen King readers, I am one of them.  Many people are avid movie goers when John Cusack touches the big screen, I am also this person.  Imagine my delight when I found out that one of my favorite actors was making a horror movie based on a short story by my all time favorite author!  Now when I say short story by Stephen King, I mean short.  This book story is about a man that goes to a hotel to write a review based on it's actual "scare" factor.  The main character in the story is a famous book writer that dispels old haunted folklore stories and credits... read full review »

This is a great movie. John Cusack really picked a good movie this time. Most of his other stuff just had a boring story line, he is not a bad actor himself. This movie was mostly unpredictible. In the middle of the movie, there's a scene where it almost gave away the end, but the unpredictible ending really made up for that.

The movie's opening was confusing and disappointing. However, as the movie progresses, the plot becomes more entertaining. The twist in the play was good and unpredictable--took me by surprise. The scene in the hotel was freaky. The plot moves a little too fast. Maybe a little more build up in the beginning will be better.

This was a great movie.  My thing about loving a movie is how was the ending?  This ending was excellent!  Clever!  Original.  I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes Steven King and John Cusack.  What a great combination!

Good movie! I saw it in theaters and I still want to buy it. John Cusack is a good actor in this suspenseful movie. The acting is great and the end blew me away. I'm not a big reader, so I did not know what was going to happen...
