1408 Movie Review
1408, starring John Cusack and Samuel Jackson, was one of those movies that started off a little slow. What I thought was going to be a long, drawn out character development quickly turned into interest and ultimately led to later suspense as we waited to see what was going to happen.
Considering the other options in the horror lineup in the past few years, 1408 was a welcome change and almost made me think “an updated Shining”. Several plot twists and different angles on what was going on kept you guessing throughout the movie even with several obvious foreshadowed events.
If you are tired of watching the normal cut-em-up, all gore movies that have been presented more for shock value than true, make you think horror - then this movie is a must see. The writers did an excellent job putting the twists in 1408 and the directors and actors definitely pulled it off.
