Review of 1408 (2007) by Spangle — 02 Feb 2016
1408 is a great psychological horror flick that does a fantastic job create a creepy atmosphere and maintaining it throughout the film. John Cusack turns in a great performance, as does Samuel L. Jackson in this well-crafted film that really has a lot more going on beneath the surface than you would anticipate from a film of this type.
The horror is never cheap and the psychological element really does mess with you and scare you pretty thoroughly at times. However, this film truly rides on atmosphere and its well-adapted script with a seriously spooky air to the film and well made characters.
As a whole, 1408 lived up to my expectations and managed to exceed them, but really delivered a thought-provoking look at many different elements that make the film worthy of a closer look.
