Durham (Philadelphia, PA) I'd put off seeing 1408 for a while, namely based on the fact that PG-13 rated horror just doesn't do much for me. Not to mention that I can't remember the last Stephen King adaptation, except for The Mist, that was actually pretty good. Well, I'm happy to say I finally gave 1408 a chance, and walked away quite satisfied, especially by the longer director's cut of the film that takes up the second disc of this Two-Disc Collector's Edition. John Cusack stars as Mike Enslin, a jaded and somewhat haunted author who travels around to supposedly haunted places to debunk their myths. Upon hearing of the bloody history of the Dolphin Hotel's haunted room 1408, Mike ends up taking it on, despite the warnings of the hotel's manager (Samuel L. Jackson). Needless to say, Mike gets much more than he bargained for, and it isn't long before he starts becoming a believer. Directed with efficient dread and perfect pacing by Mikael Hafstroem, 1408 is carried by a spectacular performance from Cusack, and some truly scary moments to boot. And while the theatrical version of the film isn't bad, it's the director's cut with an alternate ending that really deserves your attention, making 1408 one of the better Stephen King adaptations to see the light of day in the past few years. All in all, if you're in the mood for some great suspense that actually will keep you guessing how it'll all end; 1408 is definitely worth a trip.  Good Job November 14, 2008Bret Cavin (woodland hills, california) It came in perfect condition way earlier then I expected it. I recommend buying from this seller. FINALLY A REAL HORROR FILM! MY 1000 TH REVIEW! :-D November 11, 2008! MR. KNOW IT ALL ;-b (TRI STATE AREA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful I watched '1408' with my usual low expectations, but I was amazed to find that someone understood what a horror film is supposed to be! Films like this don't come around often, but when they do, you remember how it feels to have chills run down your spine! While not perfect, '1408' delivers in spades what most "horror" films these days lack to their very core. Cusack makes you believe what your experiencing and while the director's cut ending is better, I found the theatrical ending quite chilling too, Both versions are available on the two disc collector's edition which is the edition I recommend. The DVD transfer is excellent and there are some interesting extras included. Imagine,... a horror movie that's actually scary.....what a concept! I think I'll be watching some cartoons before I go to sleep tonight! :-I Excellent shocker, very effective November 4, 2008Chris Wood (UK) A good Stephen King adaptation can make for a great film and while this is no Shawshank Redemption, it stands as a strong horror movie and one with a very creepy atmosphere and some great, jump in your seats moments. John Cusack's performance holds this film together and he is very impressive as a writer whose job involves exposing haunting as fake. His cynical hack attitude makes the rising tension that much more effective. We see someone doubting his sanity and beliefs as the things he sees appear increasingly impossible. Samuel L Jackson gives strong support as the hotel manager who tries to persuade him against staying in the cursed room. This is a very good shocker, strongly recommended. 1408 November 3, 2008Lindsay R. Odell The movie stayed true to Stephen King's short story. Of course they had to add some extra body to the story to make a full film, but at a King fan I was very pleased. | |||||||||||
