1408

[nenena]

So... There was a movie made out of the fucking scariest story that Stephen King ever wrote?! And it had Samuel L. Jackson in it?!?! And nobody told me?!?!?!

Wow, am I out of the loop.

Now I must see this film. The trailer looks good. But I'm nervous because, well, if I had to pick a Stephen King short story to adapt into a film, I definitely wouldn't have picked "1408," no matter how damn good (and how fucking scary) of a story it is. I just don't think that forty pages of a guy sitting alone in a hotel room and slowly loosing his mind would translate well to the big screen. But who knows, I may be wrong. And like I said, the trailer looks good. And the reviews have been good, too.

Did anybody manage to catch this movie? Was it any good? Thoughts?

I watched and enjoyed it muchly. I have no idea how faithful it was, but it certainly held my attention, and was pretty. And the soundtrack's really nice.

Jackson doesn't show up in it much, though.

Also, don't go in expecting much from the plot itself, since it's mainly there for the sole purpose of establishing the Real World and then getting the guy into the hotel room. Outside that, the movie's lovely.
