Partially, it's also because the ending to 1408 couldn't have been more trite. They keep promising, but the films do not deliver.
#ROOM 1408 FREE MOVIE MOVIE#
Partially, it's because we really haven't been delivered a truly horrific horror movie or psychologically terrifying film in a long, long time, despite all the Hollywood marketing campaigns to the contrary. I doubt just about anyone could see this film and not be disappointed. And, if he recycles a bit, even unintentionally, he's entitled, I suppose. It's not his fault if people want to adapt his stories. I don't dare be too critical of Stephen King nor his work.
That said though, one has to wonder given that the film, Secret Window, was an additionally similar themed novel about a writer who goes mad, and there's The Shining, about a guy who goes crazy in a hotel, etc., well…I'm hedging, but I'm guessing there are only so many horror story concepts out there? If the world's most prolific horror novelist begins to recycle a bit? (gulp) Like I said, this is an apology statement. I've not read his short story, and one never knows then how faithfully it has been adapted. It was called, Identity, in case you want to see it again-I think I might and, honestly, I would rather have had a sequel to Identity than this new film, if that tells you anything.Īpologies? Well, ok, I'm going to apologize to Stephen King from the outset, because, regrettably, this review is going to be harsh. And, yes, John Cusack has previously done a psychologically disturbing horror film that takes place mostly in hotel rooms that's pretty scary. It's called The Shining which has been made into a major motion picture and an ABC mini-series. Source? Of course, the screenplay by Matt Greenburg, Scott Alexander, and Larry Karaszewski is based on a short story by horror meister meister horror Stephen King called, "1408" – you can order the book below if you'd like to read the original.ĭéjà Vu Factors? Yes, you've seen a horror story about an evil hotel by Stephen King before. Ok, let's get some of the easy stuff about 1408 out of the way first.ġ408? 1 + 4 + 0 + 8 = 13 Hotels don't usually have a floor numbered 13 due to superstitious types, so the 14th floor is really the 13th floor, and the digits of this room number add up to 13-which would be even worse for the superstitious types.
