I went to go see 1408 yesterday. I enjoyed it even though it was not as scary as I had expected. It was based on a short story from Steven King. It was quite interesting as far as the typical haunted hotel movies go. While watching it I was reminded of a much younger me whose goal was to go around the world exploring haunted houses. Of course this has not come to be but it sparked my intrest in the movie. Basically it the movie was just creepy not scary. This would probably be a movie I wouldn't watch again unless it happened to be on cable. I kinda wished that it was more than just a short story, I believe it would have been a great book. A book about a hotel where there were 56 deaths in one room. I think the book could have spent a little more time into each death with a more gruesome details. Gotta love grizzly stories. I did also want to say though I really enjoyed John's performance.....he pretty much made the movie for me.
