John Cusack's best and strongest performance yet. Very different take of a horror story and done well.
Sometimes leaves you wondering what is going on and where is this going.
John Cusack plays a writer who likes to stay in hotels that claim to be haunted. With titles like "10 nights in a haunted hotels" to his name, he hears of room 1408 in a New York hotel where many of its guest have met a strange end. Samuel L Jackson plays the hotel manger with all the cool you would expect from him. Reluctant at first, Jackson allows him to stay in the room that no one else stays in because as Jackson puts it "the room's just evil". What follows is Cusack giving us his best performance even when the film goes a little off track and becomes confusing. That said, this film is a very different take on what scary films should be and is well worth a look.
