imdb.com/title/tt0450385/I was really looking forward to see this movie. The main reason was because I was living under the false impression that it stars Hugh Jackman, so I quite shocked to see it actually starred John Cusack Second: because it's based on a Stephen King book, and in my view this recommended it as a potential fantastic movie. My final opinion about it is pretty undecided. Overall it was great. The scenes that take place in room 1408 are tremendously scary, they've managed to create a really good mood with the help of lights and music. It's the kind of scary movie that plays more with your mind, not the one that relies on much blood and dead people to scare you. But what I didn't really like: I was expecting a bit more of it. I was actually waiting for an explanation behind the strange events taking place in 1408, I was thinking the main character would go and investigate the secrets behind it. Or maybe that was the idea, not to know why the room was evil? From what I noticed, that room kind of had the habit to play around with a person's weak points, since it kept reminding the main character about his daughter. I have to say Stephen King has a great way of creating evil places, that seem to have a personality of their own (like he did in Pet Semetary as well)

I would like to see it sometime.. It looked really interesting, especially since most of the movie revolves around Cusack's character.
