Watching it. Isn't this based on a Stephen King short story?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1408_%28film%29
1408 is a 2007 American psychological horror film based on the Stephen King short story of the same name directed by Swedish director Mikael Håfström, who earlier had directed the horror film Drowning Ghost. The cast includes John Cusack, Samuel L. Jackson, and Mary McCormack. The film was released in the U.S. on June 22, 2007, although July 13 (a Friday the 13th) is mentioned as the release date in the trailer posted on the website.

The film follows Mike Enslin, an author who specializes in the horror genre. Mike's career is essentially based on investigating allegedly haunted houses, although his repeatedly unfruitful studies have left him disillusioned and pessimistic. Through an anonymous warning (via postcard), Mike eventually learns of the Dolphin Hotel in New York City, which houses the infamous "Room 1408". Interested yet skeptical, Mike decides to spend one night in the hotel although manager Olin (Jackson) warns him strongly against it. Mike has a series of bizarre experiences in the room.

That's an understatement.

John Cusak is good at playing a guy going out of his mind.

This is a really good scare 'em movie! I usually don't like them because the plots are so lame and hack 'n slash. But this is really well done.

Cusack is a great actor and is doing a great job!

Something you don't think of is most of the movie is just 2 characters, Cusak and the room.

"I was out!!" but, was he?

I don't quite know how to interpret that 'almost smile' he had on at the end though.

That movie with a good 5.1 or 7.1 setup in the dark is scary as shit.


For those of you that are not "in the know."
