Film ThreatPete Vonder Haar
1408 isn’t great cinema, but does an adequate job in spite of its flaws. Read full review

EmpireNick De Semlyen
Not up there with the best King adaptations, but a fun Gothic yarn that, like all good ghost stories, is simple and dripping with dread. Read full review

The A.V. ClubScott Tobias
In the end, 1408 amounts to little more than a radical shock-therapy session for a man still finding his way after the loss of his daughter. Read full review

It's an overblown campfire tale that doesn't know when to stop. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJ.R. Jones
Adapted from a Stephen King story, this trite but watchable chiller plays like a scaled-down version of "The Shining," with Cusack driven over the edge by hallucinations of his abusive father and dead daughter. Read full review

One night in 1408 stretches out until it ends up feeling more like a routine three-day business trip. The scariest thing in it may be the way the clock radio has a way of turning itself on, loudly, of its own accord. The song is always the Carpenters' "We've Only Just Begun." Now THAT'S horror.
