Okay so I've read the short story and was waiting to get the movie from Netfix but the wait list is sick long so I just ended up buying it over the weekend LOL....I watched it this morning before getting out of bed and I'm honestly not sure if I liked it or not...I liked it..but something was missing from it IMO...It lacked a certain something but i just can't put my finger on it..... here's the write up of it... "In this thriller based on a Stephen King story, writer and paranormal debunker Mike Enslin (John Cusack) is determined to demystify the ghostly events of room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel, even though the clerk (Samuel L. Jackson) begs him to rethink his plans. Mike needs to write another book, and room 1408 may be his big ticket. But will he survive even one night?" Has anyone else seen this? What did you think of it? Did it seem to you like it was lacking something?

I think it got a lot more hype than it deserved. It was certainly not a 'scary' movie and certainly did not live up to the quality of the book. It was very disjointed and seemed to lack cohesiveness. Not a movie that I would recommend.

I thought it was awful to be honest. I expected way more based on the trailer (a big mistake on my part). It was just a whole mish-mash of scenes thrown together with no real coherent thread...yet another Stephen King story that failed to ranslate to the big screen.

No, Raven I haven't watch any movies in a long time. I am to buay doing other things, I see you like Movies. I hate watching a movie and then in the end it doesn't make sense it has you wondering. I had to check it out.

I was looking at this going "Why does than name sound familiar?" until you said it was a Stephen King story, so of course I have read it. I haven't actually gotten to see the movie yet, but now that you mention it, I really want to. I'll have to see if I can find it and then get back to you after I've watched it! =P

this movie has a lot of twist. i seen it once so i think i need to see it again. some of the movies who has twist i tend to watch it three times before i get it. maybe you need to watch it again before you find that something missing.
