1408-Good or Bad?!
Question:
1408-Good or Bad?
1408 was a very good movie, was it not? Has anyone read the short story? Did anyone not like the movie?
Answers:
Personally, I think everyone MUST see 1408! I love scary movies and I loved it. It was unpredictable, suspenseful and very original. (I hadn't read the short story it was based on when I went but now I have and I can tell you that Hollywood changed enough to keep it interesting even for folks that already read the story.)
It's not gory. Some movies depend on blood and guts and gore to get an emotional reaction from the audience. No, not 1408! It scared you with the unknown, the wondering what would happen next but it wasn't gross. But, definitely, I was gasping at parts! I mean, you could almost see people in the audience leaning forward in their seats eager to see what was going to happen next!
John Cusack and Samuel L.Jackson gave excellent performances! And the things that happened, well, at first you're wondering if it's coincidence or truly something evil then things escalate and you're just breathless wondering what's coming next.
I loved it and am recommending it to everyone. One of the best scary movies that I've ever seen! Much better than the short story iti's based on. If you were thinking of buying the Stephen King book that contained the story 1408, save your money. It was awful.
