1408 Loved It ***** (FIVE STARS)

Yet again Stephen King has proven why he is the Master of Suspense.   Ever since his car accident he has left the spooks behind and dove right into the human mind and is focusing on the psychological dilemma's that torment us as mortal humans.   Congratulations to the director Mikael Hafstrom who was able to truly capture the inner anguish of the mind, and yet being able to suspend the realm of reality:  Is it really happening or is it supernatural torture. 

We follow the life of Mike Enslin (John Cusack) who is a writer capitalizing on haunted hotels, the funny thing here is that he truly investigates these hotels to write about them but until now has never seen a real ghost and does not even believe they are real.    Once in this hotel he is warned, by the hotel manager, Gerard Olin (Samuel L. Jackson), even forbidden to stay in this room for it is truly evil.   Mike, a true skeptic, talks his way into the room and is determined to prove that it is not haunted.    Thus is when the drama begins.   

You must go see 1408 for it is a step above the rest, not to mention its in a whole new genre.  Yes this is a horror movie, yet its not a monster movie or a film full of CGI effect to scare you, however like I mentioned the new Stephen King is able to take everyday life and twist it around and portray it in a fantastic creepy new way.  Was Mike Haunted by ghosts or was he truly haunted and tormented by his past and the memories that live within his own mind? 

Wow this film was wicked good, and you must go see this film, again its not designed to scare you out of your mind -- even though it probably will.  Instead, its intended to make you use it, and dwell inward you.   Go see this movie I'm most certain you too will love it.
