Review of 1408 (2007)

By Rob Vaux (1,125) for Flipside Movie Emporium (617) on 22 Jun 2007

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 22 Jun 2007

while things may go a bit overboard in 1408, the story has a unique and unexpected way of doubling back on itself that more than compensates…

Review of 1408 (2007)

By James Sanford (927) for Kalamazoo Gazette (860) on 22 Jun 2007

The majority of the movie is built entirely around Enslin's scary safari into his subconscious, and Cusack gives a high-powered performance…

Takes what was a basically straightforward (albeit kickass) work of fantasy-tinged horror and turns it into something completely different…

Review of 1408 (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 22 Jun 2007

This is the most mature horror movie of the year - far more adult and sophisticated than the tedious Hostel Part II…

Review of 1408 (2007)

By David Medsker (361) for Bullz-Eye.com (1,091) on 22 Jun 2007

It is relentless and unsettling, and as a bonus, it turns a Carpenters wedding staple into a murder ballad. That, my friends, takes skill…

Review of 1408 (2007)

By Jeff Otto (229) for cinemaobsession.com (37) on 21 Jun 2007

Finally, a good old fashioned scary movie. And hey, it's PG-13 so why not bring the kids along for a little psychological scarring…

Review of 1408 (2007)

By Larry Ratliff (323) for San Antonio Express-News (323) on 21 Jun 2007

Cusack, a talented everyman but not quite a slick leading-man type, spends much of his time alone, battling the elements as it were…

Review of 1408 (2007)

By Rob Salem (22) for Toronto Star (3,601) on 21 Jun 2007

Even as haunted hotel King movies go, 1408 is certainly no Shining. Not even the TV-movie version…

Review of 1408 (2007)

By Ted Fry (163) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 21 Jun 2007

A genuinely disturbing and ingenious piece of horror that's as much a brainteaser as it is a feast of visual creativity…

Review of 1408 (2007)

By Carla Meyer (580) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 21 Jun 2007

Handsomely shot and well-acted but only modestly involving for much of its length, 1408 doesn't perk up until its final half-hour…

By Gary Thompson (1,554) for Philadelphia Daily News (1,596) on 21 Jun 2007

Director Mikael Hafstrom creates effective atmospherics, and for a good long while 1408 manages to avoid the crutch of F/X…

Review of 1408 (2007)

By Lisa Rose (163) for Newark Star-Ledger (1,745) on 21 Jun 2007

There's ghoulish fun and Hichcockian suspense until the film hits a narrative wall around the 60-minute mark…

Review of 1408 (2007)

By Rick Groen (1,350) for Globe and Mail (2,419) on 21 Jun 2007

Really wanting to get into our heads, 1408 tries awfully hard to play both sides of logic's boundary line -- tries and fails, and then succeeds,…

While it springs from a fairly pat premise, the execution is superb, eschewing cheap scares for throbbing, intense shocks…
