A Great Movie for the Genre While I enjoy most of the movies based on Stephen King books, they all seem a bit cheap and apart from the old ones (Misery, IT, Shinning, e.t.c) the latest (after 2000) are a bit crap. Save your keyboard, I will not change my mind about that.
Great exceptions: Secret Window and Riding the Bullet.
Great disaster: Dolan's Cadillac
But 1408 has it all. I like the screen play, I like the fact that you will many times say "it is over" and it ain't, I love the performance of John Cusack, it is a GREAT Film.
Sometimes, only 2 or 3, I felt there was a rush, but we can not make a movie of 4 hours (again!).
Bravo to the Director and Screenwritters, they walked out of the book but managed to keep the original chill.
I believe that people who will not like it are those who can not separate "Horror Fiction" from "Terror" and "Gore" genre.
Great Movie!!!
p.s. I never come back to my reviews for a dialogue, this is not a Democracy.
