    For PG-13 horror... it was pretty sweet. Yet, it was like the story - it left me wanting more.

    This is true and happened to me last night. I'm in the middle of reading 1408 right now, and last night I started watching the movie (alone, at about 11:00 pm). About 45 minutes into the movie, I heard a loud bang in the kitchen. I got up, checked it out and found nothing. About 10 minutes later into the movie, I hear another odd noise, only this time it's upstairs. I check it out, find nothing and am a little amused this is all happening during the movie. I am so "into" the story; between the book and the movie, you know? Then I hear some loud footsteps coming from above me, and I swear someone's out of bed. I pause the movie AGAIN, this time it was right after the part when Mike was out on the ledge , so I was completely absorbed in the movie. I go upstairs and find nobody is out of bed. That was enough for me! The house was just so quiet and dark (and add the fact my street has no street lights and it was super windy), and for the first time ever, I actually shut the movie off and watched something else! I got spooked!

    I'll try to finish the movie tonight...and will probably finish the story during lunch...either way, it's been an interesting and entertaining experience. Great read and movie (so far...)...

    i thought it was a very good attempt at adapting the story for the silver screen, although was very disappointed that they didn't include the 'my brother was eaten by wolves on the Conneticut turnpike' and the 'nine! this is nine! we have killed all your friends!' parts and changed his background a little. but i guess that's the movies for you. overall though i think they nailed the suspense part perfectly.

    I LOVED IT.... John Cusack is my favorite actor and for him to play in a Stephen King movie.... It was heaven!!

    Well I thought it was pretty good, but I'm a sucker for the imagination Mr. King opens up for me so I was in a little darker place but like it was said before its the movies, so it was a good try....yay my first post...Thanks reading

    1408 was one of the better movies made fron Mr. Kings books. It helped me with the fact that my own deceased daughter's name is Katherine.

    I believe that the movie was not as good as the story. I think that there were a lot of details that deserved to make it into the movie that didn't. I just didn't feel as threatened watching the movie as I did when I read the story.
