- 1408 is a film that follows Mike Enslin, played by John Cusack, a corny horror novelist who specializes in writing about the scariest, spookiest places he’s ever been. Although he spends a lot of time in “haunted” places, he has never seen any paranormal activity and does not believe in ghosts. He then receives a cryptic postcard from the Dolphin Hotel in New York City that states, “Don’t stay in 1408.” Intrigued by this gesture and not at all deterred, he goes against the wishes of the postcard and of the staff of the hotel and books the room, hoping to finally get scared.
Review:
This is the ultimate sleeper pick. This movie is not very well known or well talked about in horror movie communities, to my knowledge anyway, and after a second viewing I firmly believe this is one of the best horror movies. 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. The pacing is something to look up to, it keeps you engaged from the moment you turn it on to the moment it ends. It is scary and certainly anxiety inducing. This is a great adaptation of a Stephen King and even if you don’t love Stephen King, you will love this movie if you are a horror fan. There are not many problems with this movie. Sometimes the directing style is a bit dated and the acting can be a little slapstick at times, but it doesn’t fully take away from how good it is. It is definitely not perfect, but it is entertaining and quite dreadful.
Score
8/10
One of my favorites! Glad you guys did an episode on 1408!!
Baby Max has seen more movies then adult Max! loves, Buffalo Bill.
John Cusack was my first childhood celebrity crush lol. He makes the movie for me, but I'm obviously biased. It was a fun watch in the theaters. Not a perfect movie, but very enjoyable and popular when it came out. Funny to hear Sydney say its obscure (maybe just a little before your time)
Congrats Max!
The cutest little potato! Congrats Max! ❤
Daddy Max!
Great episode! I'm still giggling!
Drs gave my mom 9 months to live and she passed 2 weeks later. The vet gave my dog 6 months to live, a year and a half ago, and he’s still kicking. I swear these people just take a guess at life expectancy.
They can't really know!
Take a shot every time Bryce says John Cusack. 6 minutes in and I'm hammered
You guys need to watch Bone Tomahawk. Go in without any spoilers if you can. 😳😱 WILD ride.
@@michaeldiamond2755 that was reviewed september 2022!
@@HorrorMovieTalk 😃I need to find that episode!!
Love this movie. It's perfect for Halloween time. Like a non stop funhouse of horrors.
And when the caller brought up Whitney Houston, I was sooooo waiting for Max to say, "Who is Whitney Houston?"
@@JB-pl1iu Whitney who-ston?
You three are a good team, but c’mon Max: anyone can get a a baby for a prop. I’ve got 2, Bryce has a couple at least, Sidney could get one anytime.
Hey will there be a In a violent nature episode
@@robc4399 due to our schedule getting thrown off by multiple things, and there being lots of new releases these past couple months, it is not likely we will get to it until it goes to streaming. Sorry :(
Are we going to have to submit Late Night with the Devil as a Patreon watch? That movie was great!
@@wesmartin1168 there are so many new movies coming out this year & we’re trying to keep up. that one may or may not be already in the wings though👀
@@HorrorMovieTalkyou said you were waiting for me to pee my pants for that movie to be reviewed. I’ve been sitting soiled for weeks now, and still nothing…
