Recently directors have failed time and time again to capture the essence of what makes the rather prolific... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~433712696964 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 10:49:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_433712696964?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_400164097668?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pmills1210 - A funny thing happened on my way to see 1408. When I went to purchase my ticket for the show, my ticket seller informed me the theater where the movie was showing had no air conditioning. I was also told that I could get a refund within the first... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~400164097668 Tue, 7 Aug 2007 18:33:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_400164097668?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_392097599108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cmaw63 - I'm a fan of psychological thrillers. Not the blood and gore, slash 'em, gash 'em type...but the kind that distorts reality creating an edge of your seat mind ride. I was more than ready to go when a friend asked me to see 1408 with her... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~392097599108 Mon, 16 Jul 2007 21:58:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_392097599108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_390619303556?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author videodude - Generally, a Stephen King story can go one way or the other when it comes to screen adaptation: it could really really suck or it could be really really great. For every Misery or The Green Mile is a few dozen waiting in the wings that generally suck:... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~390619303556 Fri, 13 Jul 2007 20:03:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_390619303556?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_389838048900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author xmovieloverx - Before I begin my review, let me state that there has only been one horror movie ever to have scared me. The Blair Witch Project. I had really begun to give up on the horror genre, simply because we seem to be given thrice as many blood and guts... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~389838048900 Thu, 12 Jul 2007 05:39:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_389838048900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_388441542276?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lyoness913 - I just want to start by saying that I haven&#146t seen a movie so creepy in a very long time. I&#146ve read review after review of 1408 by Epinionators as well as by critics, but I still wasn&#146t prepared for what I saw.

But I found myself drawn immediately into this adaptation of a Stephen King short... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~388416638596 Mon, 9 Jul 2007 11:46:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_388416638596?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_385788579460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author drummell - 1408 is based on a short story but the horror novelist Stephen King. Mike Enslin, played by John Cusack, a paranormal, ghost, haunted places writer, is searching for a new adventure. He doesn't believe in what he researches, which is probably why... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~385788579460 Wed, 4 Jul 2007 00:04:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_385788579460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_383587880580?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mongkut - I like ghost stories, or should I say I like movies involving ghost stories. I loved ghost stories as a kid, especially those alleged to be true. As an adult I find most written ghost stories are repetitive or at least remind me of things I&#146ve... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~383587880580 Fri, 29 Jun 2007 12:41:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_383587880580?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_383522213508?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jordan_tar - Stephen King's short story "1408" was a rare treat - a genuinely chilling, uncanny piece from someone whose talent at writing such things has been steadily on the wane for years.

They range from the strange and obsurd to the hack and slash throw back of the 1970's and 1980's.

But "1408" is not your average ghost story.
