Anybody seen that new movie 1408? I love horror movies...

I'm wondering if this one is worth the money? :shrug:

1. I haven't...

But, there was a previous thread:

2. I saw the poster from the street, and thought it was a period piece.

From a distance, it looks historical and shit.

3. 74% fresh on rottentomatoes.com; 2.5 stars out of 4 on Slant; 8.4 on IMDb

Sounds like it's worth checking out.

4. It got two thumbs up on Ebert & Roeper - I haven't talked to anyone

who's seen it but I think the reviews are pretty good and I LOVE John Cusak - a good liberal from the great city of Chicago.

5. Honestly, Ebert and Roeper's opinions don't hold much weight with me.

Ebert is probably my least favourite reviewer ever, haha.

7. Thanks!

6. saw it..loved it. Cusack is amazing - story breaks down a bit around 70 min. in

enjoy!

8. Were you really scared? Was it as least as scary as The

Shining? Also, blood and guts don't scare me...

9. It doesn't hold a candle to the Shining. No blood and guts, so I give them props for

carrying a story without gore, but I was really disappointed after reading all the great reviews. It just didn't live up to all the hype for me.
