1408... 8/10 for me...
went to watch 1408 just this afternoon at around 3.30pm... managed to catch the start as we were busily buying snacks before reaching the cinema.
the build-up of the storyline is pretty good, with Samuel L. Jackson (the hotel manager) teeing up this freak room, and discouraging John Cusack (the horror story writer) to check into room 1408, including upgrading him to the penthouse suite. of course, he rejected... and so check into room 1408 he did.
it's based on Stephen King's 1408 bestseller... so die die must watch...
what happened in the room was freaky to say the least, but I'd say that the graphics and actings were the more outstanding points of the movie. the movie is overall pretty good as it actually relates to us, especially those who travel a lot and stay in hotels... actually half way through the movie, both Jo and I wanted to leave as it really freaks us out... not that it's all bloody and gory stuff... just that it makes you not wanting to continue watching... *which in a way a success for a horror movie... ...* (note: we finished watching the movie in the end okay...)
I wouldn't go to detail on the movie as I won't wanna to spoil it for those who haven't watched. Personally, I think it's a good watch, and seriously - if you do not have a 42" plasma and a home theatre system, go watch at the cinema...
