1408
a.k.a. Hey, those digits do add up to 13...
8/10
I don't want to spoil too much of this movie because I actually enjoyed it a lot. Needless to say, it was filled with a lot of horror film cliches, but the method in which they were done was exquisite. The film is about an author who wrote one good drama, but has started writing cheesy stories about horror hotels and graveyards that he has visited... and each one was a wash. He gets a postcard about this hotel with the room 1408, but the hotel refuses to book him the room. After a lot of pressuring, the hotel gives in and rents him the room. In the room, things start out slowly at first, but soon the roller coaster of "What the Hell..." begins. You see the life this author led and what led him to this point and watch as he goes through his own personnel hell. All in all... I enjoyed it.
See this film...
