1408 (2007)
Oh Stephen King, why do people like you? How can they find you scary or even mildly entertaining?
OK, so you had me with the freaky clown in "It". But as soon as it turns out the thing is really a giant spider, I pretty much hated you.
Much like I hated this movie.
From now on, I must go with my instinct. No more of this "Premonition", "23", "Bug" shit. No more watching Ebert & Roeper, thinking someone might convince me that a movie I predict is going to suck might not.
I don't even want to talk about this movie because it's a waste of time.
It's not good.
Period.

I'll give King The Shining, but that was mostly Jack's doing that I liked the movie of it. Same goes for the Dead Zone and Christopher Walken. That makes me realize, I've never actually read a Stephen King novel...

CF are u into those movies? there seems to be a real trend of that whole like horror/torture/creepy thing going on, about people being confined to small spaces and terrorized. i try to not watch them as much as possible.

Ian-you make a good point. I don't think I've read any of his books either.
But yes, The Shining was fairly excellent.
Jon-I suppose if I thought about it, I'm not really into those movies at all. However, Vacancy was decent. Perhaps it's because it wasn't about anything supernatural or King-esque. I guess I was trying to be more open minded, but I made the mistake of trying too many times.

1408 was a damn shame... 1) Why cast Samual Jackson if he doesn't even get a chance to really act 2) Why use crap special effects that completely take the viewer out of the picture? I mean, they were on par with 'The Frighteners', which back in 96 was cutting edge, but now just seems really out-dated... Though, Jake Busey's teeth still gleam like the dickens!
