nearly perfect 9/10
I think 1408 is one of the best haunted house films in years, it's got great pacing, mixing past, present, and explanation without being boring, using old tools in new creative ways, to avoid any cliche... just a fantastic movie with no noticeable holes. Probably the best Stephen King adaptation ever made outside perhaps The Shining, Pet Sematary and Misery. Fantastic buildup, and easy to believe the room is effectively terrifying, with a lot of subtlety to truly mess with your mind.
