Amazon.com: As creepfests go, 1408 is right up there with The Shining, also inspired by a Stephen King work and featuring a menacing hotel and the wobbly sanity of a writer lodging there. 'It's an evil [bleep]-ing room!' intones Samuel L. Jackson, who plays the smooth but vaguely sinister manager of the Dolphin Hotel. John Cusack is stellar as Mike Enslin, a cynical Everyschlub who writes 'occult travel guides,' but believes in nothing, especially anything resembling an afterlife. What happens in room 1408 of the Dolphin may change Enslin forever--if he survives the first hour. The thrills range from jumpy 'gotcha' moments involving mirror images, to more traditional horror fare like bleeding walls, to truly diabolical touches like the recurrence of the Carpenters' 'We've Only Just Begun.' (Shudder.) The film does a nice job of weaving the operatic horror effects with the truly heart-breaking backstory of the death of Enslin's young daughter and his marriage--perhaps the only two things Enslin has ever believed in. And thankfully, there's just enough humor to leaven the intensity at key moments; Cusack is unparalleled when it comes to delivering a self-deprecating wisecrack, even as his life passes before his eyes. Get your adrenaline pumping and check into this room. Oh, and sorry, no refunds. A.T. Hurley Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Catalogue of horror special effects Our protagonist goes in an hotel that has an haunted room (1408, at least it wasn't 666).

A man stays in a cursed room in a New York Hotel. The Dolphin Hotel's "Room 1408" is actually "an evil room," the hotel manager says, where more than 50 guests have committed suicide there (one drowned in his chicken soup). Ignoring the warning words of the manager, a jaded writer Mike Enslin checks in the room where he encounters a series of creepy events. Mike, who doesn't believe in these paranormal events, must endure the terrifying 60 minutes there. Had it ... Read More Rating: - A surprisingly good and atmospheric Stephen King adaptation I'd put off seeing 1408 for a while, namely based on the fact that PG-13 rated horror just doesn't do much for me. Not to mention that I can't remember the last Stephen King adaptation, except for The Mist, that was actually pretty good. Well, I'm happy to say I finally gave 1408 a chance, and walked away quite satisfied, especially by the longer director's cut of the film that takes up the second disc of this Two-Disc Collector's Edition. John Cusack stars as Mike Enslin, a jaded and somewhat haunted ... Read More Rating: - Good Job It came in perfect condition way earlier then I expected it. I recommend buying from this seller. Rating: - FINALLY A REAL HORROR FILM! MY 1000 TH REVIEW! :-D I watched '1408' with my usual low expectations, but I was amazed to find that someone understood what a horror film is supposed to be! Films like this don't come around often, but when they do, you remember how it feels to have chills run down your spine! While not perfect, '1408' delivers in spades what most "horror" films these days lack to their very core. Cusack makes you believe what your experiencing and while the director's cut ending is better, I found the theatrical ending quite chilling too, Both ...
