I love scary movies and I loved it. It was unpredictable, suspenseful and very original. I hadn't read the story but I hear even people who read the Stephen King story it was based on were in suspense waiting to see how much Hollywood changed the written story.
I really like the movie. It's not gory. Some movies depend on blood and guts and gore to get an emotional reaction from the audience. No, not 1408! It scared you with the unknown, the wondering what would happen next but it wasn't gross. But, definitely, a psychological thriller. I was gasping at parts! I mean, you could almost see people in the audience leaning forward in their seats eager to see what was going to happen next!
John Cusack and Samuel L.Jackson gave excellent performances! And the things that happened, well, at first you're wondering if it's coincidence or truly something evil then things escalate and you're just breathless wondering what's coming next.
I loved it and am recommending it to everyone. One of the best scary movies that I've ever seen!

I'm thinking the ones with low reviews may be because they read the story and it differs a bit with the movie. Seeing the previews there are some definite differences between the two.
I'm looking forward to it and will try not to compare it to the story, but it'll be hard.

The first really scary movie I've seen in a long time. It's really intense, but it also has a lot of substance as well. I'd highly recommend it.

Awesome movie! It didn't rely on gross blood and guts to get you scared, it actually built tension and had suspense. I read the story and still didn't know what was coming in the movie since Hollywood changed it. In this case, they changed it for the better! Great film! You should see it.

Honestly, I'd wait for it to come out on DVD...it is not worth spending the money....First of all, it wasn't that scary......it's more of a psychological thriller than anything.......
I was dissapointed...I expected more especially when a story line isn't explained or carried out...

I loved it! It was very twisted.. ..Not a scary as I thought it was going to be. It did make me jump a few times, but it also made me cry. I definitly recommend it!! Go to the theater!

i saw it and i was pretty scared DURING the movie. when i got home, i wasnt scared at all. usually when i see a scary movie im usually scared for a couple days. i think the movie was more creepy than scarey actually.
