1408

Today, you're getting a 2-fer...Two movie reviews in one day....

It's the day after Thanksgiving, I'm home alone (well, no other people), so I decided to try and catch up on my movies.

And so, I watched 1408, starring John Cusack. Again, this movie was recommended to me by friends so I was a bit leery of it. It's based on a novel by Stephen King and I usually enjoy his books, so I decided to try it.

The story is about a writer who travels around the country staying in "haunted" hotels and awarding them skulls for shivers. He received a postcard from a New York Hotel saying to NOT stay in Room 1408. So, of course, he heads straight for New York and that room.

Plot twists galore, a bit of violence (not too much). This is a very good psychological thriller/horror movie. You really don't know where it's going to end and I was pleasantly surprised by where the movie stopped...well, I don't know if "pleasantly" is the right word, but I was DEFINITELY surprised.

My rating: I WANT 0 HOURS BACK...definitely a must-see.

Next up, Zodiac (another friend recommendation)
