i just watched1408 again today and god it was a great. i really haven't liked many horror movies that have came out in the past 4 years there's a couple of good ones every now and then, but for the most part they've all been shit. most are just a gore fest for no reason other then to have gore (hostel and the last two saw flicks) or a remake of a japanese movie where the antagonist is some kind of fucked up dead kid.
1408 was the opposite hardly any gore there was a kid but not fucked up and the best part of it was it was actually scary. the showing was sold out and the audience did nothing but they did nothing in the good way it made people uneasy there were a few shock scares but for the most part it was a great physiological horror movie. there was alot of that nervous laugh after the scares that trying to release tension laugh like "ha ha haaaaa..." they did a great job of setting John Cusack's character he did everything a actual person would do. if you get the chance go see the movie it's awesome.
during this movie there's a really great scene where John Cusack really breaks down and you see some really damn good acting. i almost forgot how good of a actor he was he's in so many great comedies but to see him show some real soul during this movie made me realize how great of a actor he really is. he gonna be one of those people that probably won't get the recognition he deserves now but people who discover his work will realize how much of a genius he is.
