1408 (2007)

Director: Mikael Hafstrom (Derailed and some foreign shit, his name has that 'a' thing with a circle over it and the o has 2 dots over it, so he's probably Scandinavian or Klingon)
Stars: John Cusack (High Fidelity, Must Love Dogs)
Samuel L Jackson (Pulp Fiction, Deep Blue Sea)
YesNoSoso: 0

I don't get it. This movie got respectable ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. One reviewer said it was one of the best adaptations of a Stephen King (its his short story). I thought it sucked. A shitload. I like John Cusack, well I like it when he doesn't do generic hollywood crap (which has been with an ever increasing rarity) but frankly this movie is beyond him. He's pretty much forced to single handedly carry the movie through its frights and derangment and simply doesn't have the chops.
