So, when you think of Stephen King movies, which ones come to mind? Shawshank Redemption and Misery or Maximum Overdrive and Thinner? Some are great, some are atrocious. This one was just fantastic. John Cusack plays Mike Enslin, a writer that tours haunted locations and gives the people what they want.
After a few years, Mike is cynical. Very, very cynical. And room 1408 just wants to prove him wrong. Let me just say, this movie is creepy. I jumped several times. Let me also say, this movie is hilarious. I know, it doesn’t seem like the two could coexist, but they do. Mike has no respect for those that read what he writes. And he continues to try and joke his way out of a bad situation.
It is movies like this one that make up for flicks like Thinner. King has great material and in the right hands the movies are great too. The screenwriters did an impressive job turning a short story into such a solid movie. It’s definitely worth seeing. Go right now.
