1408 John Cusack and Samuel L Jackson

Re: 1408 John Cusack and Samuel L Jackson
I watched this a few days ago. It has to be the most overratted film of the year. From the IMDB comments I was expecting the greatest horror film of all time but it was a bit poo.
Not scary in the lightest, stupid and entirely predictable false ending.
But for some reason I'm obviously in the minority as every review I've seen people love it :-\

I'll let you know what I think in a bit, the guy keeps putting his hand infront of the camera. ;D

I have heard that is more than annoying ;D
Re: 1408 John Cusack and Samuel L Jackson
lol, "It has only just begun." ;D I felt kinda cheated to be honest with you, after seeing all the previews and hype it reminds me of "The world awaits." You're hoping for the ride of your life and then it's whoops. Some of the scenes were actually actually funny, self-folding toilet paper, the Carpenters, I don't know if a melting phone was supposed to be scary. Then when I saw the ending I was stunned, "That's it?" Okay... at least you saved me some money, you should have caught me before I spent a few bucks on "The Secret Window." In both cases the popcorn was worth more than the thrills, and in this just weren't any.
I guess the hardest part was to come up with 4 numbers that add up to the number "13" :)

Idk, maybe because it's Stephen F'ing King! :D It's going to be all his fault if they make a "Scary Movie 5"

You really didn't like it man? I thought it was a really good movie. Its not really suppose to be a horror movie though. Its more of a mind bender. I actually saw an interview with Cusack and thats what he was saying. I actually read the short story that Stephen King wrote and I thought the movie went pretty well with the story. YOu should read it man.
