There is an important thing that people should realize about horror movies. Its not the 'starts' and the gross scenes, that make a good horror movie, its what the movie can do to your mind. Evil Dead with all its 'jumps' and walking hands and blood sprays is nothing but a laugh riot, something i was shit scared of when i was in 2nd grade. Thats the best it'll ever get to. But, if you want classy horror, you need to check out movies like Omen. 1408 falls in that category.
No plot summaries here, but its about a ghost buster's (John Cusack) experience in a haunted hotel room. Considering that the entire plot unravels in a room, its done mighty fell to keep the ol spine chilled. That apart, its a regulation decent horror flick.
That they left the ending inconclusive has not found favour with me.
I saw it with my buddies, but yeah, watch it alone for a better scare. Guaranteed, you won't die of fright or shock. If you're at it, check out Jason's Ladder and The Blair Witch Project.
Performance 8/10 (Cusack basically)
Concept 6.5/10 (i told u i didn't like the ending
screenplay 8/10
technical 8.5/10
Overall 7.7/10
