Critics Consensus

Relying on psychological tension rather than overt violence and gore, 1408 is a genuinely creepy thriller with a strong lead performance by John Cusack.

Another actor may have made 1408 seem as thin and fake as an episode of Tales from the Crypt, but Cusack lends it that badly needed extra milligram of conviction.

Cusack always manages to underscore panic with irony.

2/5

You leave the film once again feeling that Stephen King is either not quite as good as his reputation or that most film-makers can't replicate the subtleties of his style.

A-

That claustrophobic atmosphere, paired with complex storytelling and strong performances, makes 1408 a great watch, not only for the first time, but for a rewatch as well.

8/10

The viewer is never bored, stuff happens so quickly and so often in this film that it was extremely difficult to take notes on it because I almost always missed something.

4/5

A tense, visually complex, and well-acted experience that, while not a true horror film, should satisfy those looking to bite their nails for almost two hours. [Full review in Spanish].

A writer with something to prove, or disprove? John Cusack delivers as always. This movie will mess with your mind, and emotions. A psychological thriller that will give you jumps, scares, chills, and unwanted tears. You'll know what I mean at the end.

Not sure how I missed this Stephen King story (novel and movie) but wonderfully spooky-scary, if that is what you are looking for, as I was. Cusak gives a strong performance and the special effects necessary in the latter half are admirable; always difficult to translate the imaginary/supernatural to the screen believably.

It was not the greatest. Mildly entertaining. Unnecessary sad scenes. Why delve into such a morbid subject? Even for the sake of a "decent movie". It was mediocre at best. Good acting, but plot was nonsensical. Terrible ending. The writer, directors, actors, and producers all have better work out there. Sorry, but, no.
