I wake up in a hotel room with the mother of all headaches, covered in raspberry sauce and wearing pants made out of newspapers. There is a note next to me that reads 'Write more Criticker reviews ya dingus'. A TV is playing, showing a movie starring John Cusack. It tries to set up an intruiging mystery and it even succeeds in the beginning but then random shit starts happening and oh it's like Dante's Inferno except hard to care about. Ok. I stumble out of the room into the harsh light of day.

Has amazing build-up and a great, eerie atmosphere along with a spooky score. The last third of it though is dull, predicatable and it seems like Hafstrom ran out of ideas and just added this part out of nowhere. Still, a pretty decent horror film.

It started creepy, and then got really creepy, and then got boring. But the last five seconds of the movie was slightly creepy again. A nice attempt, but at least John Cusack is always fun to watch.

At the beginning the movie created a thick atmosphere of suspense, but after a while it got a bit too predictable, just standard ghost movie scary parts( ghosts in the mirror, phones ringing, rivers of blood etc. etc...). Most of the points are for the psychological and dramatical aspect of the movie (is it real, or is it all in his head?). Nice plot twist at the end though!

It started out fantastic and the hotel manager's resistance to renting the room was exceedingly well done. The first couple of minutes in the room are genuinely creepy due to the surreal aspect of it. However, once the shock scares start the movie really takes a nose dive in terms of frights. It does, however, pick up literally right at the end of the movie.

1408 is a film marked by good scenes with Cusack and Jackson and a well controlled build up of tension however is let down by some of the overly dull sections towards the start and an overly predictable plotline, even if some of the twists towards the end come as a bit of a surprise. While the atmosphere of the room quickly builds throughout the first signs of paranormal activity, the predictability of the shocks numbs the interest of the movie later on. Overall it's pretty good though.

Cusack is solid and the movie starts out strong with a nice buildup about the room delivered by Samuel L. Jackson. The atmosphere and early scares are pretty good; however, the intensity never really ramps up to a point where you feel sure the the room should break the main character. After a strong start, the back half is just a bit disappointing in this regard. Still, nothing is particularly "bad" - so, at worst, this still remains a perfectly serviceable psychological horror/thriller.

The scares start out great, small things that just make it all very eerie. Then it starts becoming way too Hollywood big and eerie become jump scares and noise. Cusack keeps me interested though and does a great job in a tough lone man role.

Cusack's performance really elevates the movie above its standard jump-scares -- good thing, too: outside of a small (but effective) role filled by Sam Jackson, this is largely a one-man show. While the movie isn't as scary as it should be, John makes sure it's always engaging. Hafstrom has a slick directorial style, and I think with the right script, he could make a top-notch horror movie. This isn't it, but it's a start -- the "mailroom demolition" sequence is particularly memorable.

1408, the best King adaptation since, well, The Shining, is about as mind-churning and bizarrely startling an American horror picture as you will see with a PG-13 slapped on it. Cusack is great here in a mostly one-man show. I'm willing to venture that this will be the best scare-fest of the year.

Benoit Delhomme is the cinematographer. That's about the only nice thing I can say about this godawful movie. Boring, cliched, predictable scares. The biggest problem is that when you set up a situation where ANYTHING can happen, then NOTHING is surprising, or interesting. Oh look, the room fucked him over again, what a shocker. All the backstory crap with the dead child was painfully bad and utterly transparent. And I've never seen such poor acting from Cusack. What a waste of time.

Very good and convincing performance by John Cusack, Samuel L. Jackson only had a small roll in the film, but he did fine as usual. The story itself wasn't bad, perhaps a bit predictable at times. There aren't a lot of thrills, just creepy and suspensful at times. Don't expect a scary horror film that makes you sleep with the lights on at night, and it's not a deep psychological film either. Watch it for what it is and enjoy John Cusack's performance, don't go in with too high expectations.

A very forgetable horror flick. Many of the set pieces are vague gestures at better movies that came before it (e.g., Jacob's Ladder, and, of course, The Shining) and, ultimately, very little of it is successful at being spooky. It doesn't help that Cusack seems positively amused by how ridiculous the script gets, barely suppressing a wry smile then hastily trying to pass it off as his character's psychotic break. At least there aren't as many cliches as the usual modern horror dross.

There's a 70 minute B-movie horror masterpiece lurking in this ultimately bloated effort, which has a terrific first half (using The Carpenters as a harbinger to bleak malevolence just one terrific touch) and an unusually powerful and intense performance from Cusack to anchor things. Loses its way in the second half once the claustrophobic confines are violated, and goes on much too long towards a weak resolution. Still fun, but oh what could have been with the back half largely chopped out.

Worlds better than I expected. Cusack is great and Jackson lays it on so thick you can't help but fall for the room's mystique. Respect to anyone that can turn a good film out of King's novels. He's shooting a paltry five out of sixty-three (may not be accurate count).

Scary in an atavistic way and thankfully low on the blood and gore, but ultimately nonsensical. It certainly looks as if Cusack is being set-up and drugged by the hotel manager, but we never get any answers or motivation.

1408 is a very good psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat for the majority of its runtime. Cusack gives a great performance in the lead, and the film's plot allows us to watch him get put through a terrible situation. It becomes less interesting as it progresses, but it's still an intense film that will get your heart rate up, so I say it's worth a watch.

There are a few scares here and there but the film is way too polished to take you very far into that atmosphere. Cusack is pretty good in this and the film is far more psychological than I expected. Samuel L. Jackson makes an appearance and instantly takes you out of this movie perhaps a sign that he's become overexposed now.

Room 1408 is a spiritual place, purgatory up to heaven or down to hell. Movie's got good fibe and interesting effects. Samuel L. Jackson is as good as he always can be. But the story fails to put too much cheap scary effects and they did not chew the story enough to make it sharp and clean. Like that it's a half way job easy to watch, easy to forget. Old hotel rooms are nice sources for horror flicks; so many people, so many stories to tell about.

The first 30 minutes of this movie are probably the most effective build up I've seen in a horror movie this side of The Shining. When he was unlocking the door to room 1408, I had chills down my spine. Unfortunately the rest of the movie doesn't entirely live up to the first 30 minutes, but it does continue to be intriguing and fairly creepy throughout.

It was alright. Very scary and tense in some places, kind of boring in others. John Cusack is a great actor who seems to be improving with age. I loved the back story of his family and wish it had come out more in the movie. I'm still not sure what the creepy look at the end was supposed to symbolize, but it was off-setting to say the least.

Really enjoyed this when I first saw it 15 years ago. Have seen it once or twice since and still think it holds up. Saw a bit tonight in passing and feel it's one of the last really good atmospheric thriller/horrors I've seen in the last 20 yrs. **Edit. Ended up re-watching in its entirety tonight and it remains a wonderful descent into madness. I continue to get a little creeped out by it. Nostalgia and just a solid thriller imo. 8.2

First few scares were good but after a while it became quite obvious everything was happening in his mind and he wasn't in danger, which took away the horror aspect completely. From that point on it just became a boring, over used drama about a man who lost his daughter. It was sad but not what I was hoping to watch. Camera transitions were cool and John Cusack's acting was fine too. If it wasn't for this two reasons, I wouldn't give this movie more than 20.

There's things I really enjoy about this film, but then there's John Cusack. I like him as an actor...usually. I'm not so sure horror works for him, though. He acts like Nicolas Cage going crazy in....The Wicker Man or something, and there's very little transition from complete skeptic to terrified. I needed more of a balance and rise in tension. I liked that the room was basically a character in the film, though. That was a nice touch

1408 is a decent thriller with good performances from Cusack and Jackson. The 1st half of the film is definitely stronger, establishing the protagonist and building the anticipation for the spookiness to come. The 2nd half drops the ball slightly, delivering few decent jump scares but fluffing the emotional resonance required for what the thematic exploration of grief the film was going for. Håfström should have stuck to the book's ending, as neither the theatrical and less so the DC work.

The movie adaptation of Stephen King's creepy and disturbing short story with the same name is slowly but surely terrifying in term of psychological horror. but the scare factor in this movie were inconsistent and predictable which is a shame if not the movie could be much better. though fortunately, both John Cusack and Samuel Jakcson were perfectly cast in this movie which their credible acting would eventually save this movie from a total meltdown.

Tends to drag a little towards the end as all the action takes place on the same set for 60 minutes or more. In the same way that "Castaway" was a wonderful exhibition of acting, but a story that tends to plod a bit, "1408" is a great performace by Cusack, and contains some really amazing set pieces ... it just lacks a real sense of things building to a crescendo, and anythiung OTHER than a fairly predictable outcome !

Pure Stephen King. Even though the basic plot line is simplistic, this movie was a heart attack a minute with all the twists and turns a suspense viewer could desire. Overall terror-wise, it is almost equal to "Secret Window". John Cusack delivers a performance above what a person would expect.

I enjoyed the opening of the film with its small build-up. However, it later tries to do twists and turns but it fails to land on its two feet properly. Didn't quite grip me.

The beginning of the movie writes a check that the rest of it can't cash. By the last 2/3, you can tell they've run out of twists and spooky things to throw at the audience, so the plot cannibalizes itself in self-reference. A few seemingly pointless last-minute turns make me wonder whether they were trying to leave the story open for a sequel, or just squeeze a few more jumps out of the audience. Maybe they were just floundering to try and work a satisfying ending out of the story.

I think everyone was shocked at how good this turned out, especially for a Stephen King adaptation. Very few films can make me feel uneasy with atmosphere alone but this is exactly what "1408" did. Yes, everything is a little cliche and it definitely derails in time for the finale but everything else is great.

John Cusack's performance is the reason I recommend this one. The whole movie depends on Cusack and the movie works because of his performance.

No tension in the mystery. Cool ideas and visuals... but weird stuff just happens for no reason.

A nice little horror movie that surpasses the somewhat bland Stephen King short story. It's a nice movie for Cusak to show his chops (as he basically is the only character for the vast majority). It's a bit underrated in my opinion as it's a suspenseful psychological horror that people seem to rate lower because the ending lacks what the first 2/3's brings to the table. It seems to be split pretty evenly on people liking it or not but I'd suggest giving it a try.

This movie is pretty scary, but unlike most scary or paranormal movies it has a sad and revolutionary plot, that this room is more than haunted but offers an in-depth look at how ones life could be brought to suicide! This movie is one to watch if you want a scary/sad tastes in the film.

Good horror themes are borne out of implausible themes just made believable solely through the lead performer, his/her performances and the mood-setting effects of the movie. This movie has good performances, some nice mood-setting effects and lots of eerie atmosphere. In classic Hollywood style it also leaves a last minute twist in the tale. Yet it leaves you wanting for more. Top horror movies make you want to hurry away..and they come back to you in the night for quite some time :).

Like most S.K. novels, the tension building is decent, but the ending leaves you mildly disappointed. Cusack does a good job in the lead role.

A decent idea and some excellent horror visual playfulness ultimately fail to transcend some poor narrative choices (especially in the end) and a lack of coherent visual style. Also, Cusack played against his convention by being charismatic and able to hold a picture on his own.

While it has its occasional moments of brilliance, 1408 suffers from the mediocrity of most thrillers of its ilk. Despite its shortcomings, 1408 will keep your mind working throughout and long after with its inquisitive narrative and signature Stephen King quirk. Ranking among the best King adaptations, 1408 is a must see for any fan of psychological thrillers or Stephen King brand horror.

Starts well, with an excellent forboding build-up and a nice turn by Cusack as a jaded author. However once the scares start the film really falls apart. Everything here has been done better before and there's no consistency or imagination; it's just one cheap scare after another thrown on-screen seemingly at random. I sat through these hoping for some pay-off or explanation at the end, but it never comes. The movie ends pretty much how you figured it was going to after the first half-hour.
