Just got back from seeing 1408 with John Cusack. It had a lot of potential but
it really fell short of all the rave reviews that I read. It was trying so hard to be the Shining. Sadly disappointed by this one. Anyone else get a chance to see it? Thoughts?

1. My first thought was that it would be a rip off of the Shining
haven't seen it yet.

2. They really tried to get The Shining feel. The hallways in the hotel looked exactly
like the ones in the Shining. They had some good tension built up and just couldn't sustain it or bring it to a decent conclusion. I'd advise waiting until it comes out on DVD.

3. It got really good reviews, but you never know.
I had high hopes for it too. I guess I'll wait for the DVD - thanks for the heads up.
