Rama’s SCREEN

1408 is an okay suspense/horror, and in that sense I mean, it has its moments that will give a little scare every now and then,… but it has a weak ending.

I think suspense/horror movies need to end with a bang, with the characters receiving what they deserve and with no cheesy resolution.

Mike Enslin (John Cusack) is obsessed with finding out supernatural world after the death of his daughter. He’s never been convinced until he checks into the Dolphin Hotel room 1408. The room toys with him and his difficulty of coping with the loss of his daughter.

Props to John Cusack who gives an outstanding performance…
He actually excels in this movie, playing a father who searches for supernatural phenomenons after having a hard time dealing with his daughter’s untimely death.

This movie’s based on a short story by the master Stephen King.
Makes you wonder sometimes what really is going on in the mind of Stephen King?!

This might not be as great as the classics that were based on Stephen King’s writings such as The Shining, Carrie and all the likes.. but if you’re a big fan of Stephen King or just a fan of movies that can give you the willies,…
then by all means, check into 1408, and hope you’ll survive the day.
