NEW MOVIE 1408 NOW AVAILABLE ON HERE

1408 NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE NEWEST ADDITION TO THE WEBSITE ITS THE NEW MOVIE 1408 FEATURING JOHN CUSACK IN A HORROR MOVIE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE REALLY GOOD.

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FROM IMDB.

Based on the short Stephen King horror story of the same name, 1408 surrounds supernatural writer Mike Enslin, an author of two hit books focusing on supernatural phenomena. As research for his latest book, Enslin is determined to check out the notorious room 1408 in a New York City hotel by personally staying as a guest in the fabled room. With the intention that 1408 is just a myth perpetuated by stories and rumor that Enslin has collected for his past works. However, hotel manager Mr. Olin has strong objections to Enslin's stay and only warns him of possible danger to come. But Enslin is determined to go through and convinced that the horrific past of 1408 is just mere coincidence and a myth. But what Mike Enslin is about to experience is no myth, as 1408 truly is a room where the guests don't check out by noon. Written by mystic80.

HERE IS A REVIEW OF THE MOVIE 1408 FROM DVDTALK

There seem to be two distinct flavors of Stephen King film adaptations. Either it's a full-on scare-the-dickens-out-of-you night at the movies or it's the journey to the center of the insane mind. "1408" falls into the latter category, yet a large percentage of the middle act wants to play by the now familiar rules of suspense cinema. It's a confusing mix, but then again, "1408" is a difficult movie to decipher.

Mike Enslin (John Cusack) is a non-fiction novelist specializing in the haunted attractions of America. Urged to try spending the night at the Dolphin Hotel in the cursed room 1408, it takes everything the hotel manager (Samuel L. Jackson, in a five-minute cameo) has to try and convince Enslin to change his plans. The author won't budge, and embarks on a stay that will challenge his skeptical nature, forcing Enslin to confront a torturous past with his deceased daughter and a lifetime of disbelief.

Swedish director Mikael Hafstrom made a dent on the American film scene with the 2005 thriller, "Derailed." A nicely detailed piece of trash, "Derailed" couldn't help but fall apart in the final reel, so it comes as little surprise that "1408" also suffers the same fate.

Adapted from a King short story, "1408" has to fill a 90+ minute running time with a concept that should rightfully take up about 30 minutes. However, Hafstrom is skilled at the build up to the hotel room sequences; giving the audience a nice feel of Enslin's testy personality before he's subjected to a barrage of nightmares.

It's takes a good half hour before we even get into the dreaded hotel room, and once it arrives, there's really nowhere for "1408" to effectively go. This is an origami-paper-thin concept about psychological confinement, and the screenplay works up a summer-day-20k sweat trying to fill the narrative with bits of character dimension and generic suspense. The director is actually able to breathe some life into the majority of the picture, drizzling on the required bits of evil and alarm; but he's punishing Enslin for sins the audience surely won't be invested in.
