Swedish director Mikael Hafstrom creates a compelling ride of a movie. Every beat of the film is weighted with significance, and our mounting dread becomes almost intolerable.

An entertainingly hairy paranormal affair.

Swift, sharp adaptation of Stephen King's short story (from the "Everything's Eventual" collection).

The horror wouldn't work without Cusack, who makes what could have been a rote acting exercise--Be tough! Now angry! Now defensively funny!--a cathartic ritual instead.

As thrillers go, 1408 leaves too much room for fun.

One night in 1408 stretches out until it ends up feeling more like a routine three-day business trip. The scariest thing in it may be the way the clock radio has a way of turning itself on, loudly, of its own accord. The song is always the Carpenters' "We've Only Just Begun." Now THAT'S horror.

In the end, 1408 amounts to little more than a radical shock-therapy session for a man still finding his way after the loss of his daughter.

1408 has become something of a 2000s classic when it comes to horror. There's a growing tension and intrigue that comes from an odd place; an unusual kind of scary that plays with something more subtle. The film builds into some great moments, but leans more on its atmosphere and scares rather than brilliant writing, with most of its greatest moments peaking earlier on. The issues there might also explain why we ended up with at least a few alternative endings which substantially change the conclusion and tone of the film and fumble with the characters.

Filme bacaninha, mas não é marcante.Começa bem e se segura até a metade mas perde o suspense em meio a exageros. Enrolou até na hora do desfecho que na real não traz nenhuma revelação.

I don't see any point, and it can be an allegory to hell or anything, i don't think this is a way to present allegory.
