1408

Usually, the majority of Stephen King movie horror adaptions have been horrible - just look 'dreamcatcher' or 'secret window' for example - while others such as The Shining, The Stand, and 1408 are genuinely creepy.

In 1408, John Cusack, who hasnt aged in like the past 20 years, is a paranormal writer who documents his experiences in so-called' haunted houses across the country. Not believing in any of the paranormal when he gets a postcard telling him not to stay in 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel he of course jumps at the change to stay im the room that has claimed 56 lives since the hotel opened. The entire rest of the film is mainly John Cusack acting as we see the psychological pressure this "evil fucking room" puts on him.

It was very clever and genuinely creepy. If you're looking for a good suspenseful psychological thriller, then this is one not to be missed!

Samuel L. Jackson briefly co-stars as the hotel manager, altho he's more of a minor role than the commercials make it out to be.
