An excursion through the psychological intrigue of the human mind that is precise, tense, atmospheric and performed with great dramatic intensity.

A faithful and creepy adaptation of [King's] 2002 short story.

Even as haunted hotel King movies go, 1408 is certainly no Shining. Not even the TV-movie version.

It reminds us what it's like to be scared in a theater rather than overwhelmed by buckets of blood and gore.
June 22, 2007
A genuinely disturbing and ingenious piece of horror that's as much a brainteaser as it is a feast of visual creativity.

Another actor may have made 1408 seem as thin and fake as an episode of Tales from the Crypt, but Cusack lends it that badly needed extra milligram of conviction.

1408 is another Stephen King adaptation where the main protagonist is a writer. It is also a fine psychological horror movie and welcome change of pace from the ultra violent, gore polluted, torture porn flicks currently infecting cinema.

Like shacking up with a cheap hooker in a moderately priced hotel, 1408 delivers dirty thrills with few frills.

Definitely one of the best King adaptations in years ... and I've seen 'em all.

The success of 1408 rests squarely on [John Cusack's] Hawaiian shirt-clad shoulders, and he pulls it off. The role, that is. The tacky shirt stays on pretty well the whole time.

The movie attempts a false ending that doesn't quite work; the picture feels prolonged, dragged out, and its ennui lessens the impact of some of its more terrifying fillips.

1408 is one of the good Stephen King adaptations, one that maintains its author's sly sense of humor and satiric view of human nature.
