Room 1408

[maxime803]

I saw that movie a little while ago and I absolutely loved it, Based on the short Stephen King horror story of the same name, 1408 is about supernatural writer Mike Enslin, an author of two successful books on supernatural phenomena. As research for his latest book, Enslin is determined to check out the notorious room 1408 in a New York City hotel by personally staying as a guest in the fabled room. He believes that 1408 is just a myth perpetuated by stories and rumors that Enslin has collected for his past works. However, hotel manager Mr. Olin has strong objections to Enslin's stay and only warns him of possible danger to come. Enslin is determined to go anyway. But what Mike Enslin is about to experience is no myth, as 1408 truly is a room where the guests don't check out by noon. I'm not gonna say anything more about that movie, Anyone who hasn't watched it yet, has to watch it! :) Enjoy! :)

This movie was just outrageous, even for Stephen King, but I do know that if anyone but John Cusack had been in the lead, I probably wouldn't have been able to tolerate it. Cusack is an actor, for me, who has the ability to rise above mediocre material and make a film seem much better than it is.
