Last Saturday I have bought 3 DVD movies at Plaza Fair Makati. One of it was 1408. I was lucky that I have got a clear copy of this movie. And yeah it is a horror movie. The movie was really good with its effects and the story itself.

1408 is a 2007 film based on the Stephen King short story of the same name directed by Swedish film director Mikael Håfström. The cast includes John Cusack, Samuel L. Jackson, and Mary McCormack. The film was released in the US on June 22, 2007 although July 13th is mentioned as the release date in the trailer posted on the website. The film has been rated PG-13 in the USA for thematic material including disturbing sequences of violence and terror, and frightening images.

Author Mike Enslin's (Cusack) search for the supernatural has come up empty and as a result he's resorted to writing books in which he falsely claims to have had supernatural experiences. Despite the writing of these books his personal belief in the supernatural is far more skeptical. His latest research subject for these books is a hotel room in New York City with an ominous past. In his determination to prove the room is not haunted, Enslin may have stumbled into a real-life horror story.

Sad to say that I have bought the DVD with the alternate ending (bad ending) where John Cusack's character died. He survived in the original movie. The movie is a bit complicated with some twist in the story but I recommend watching this movie. I enjoyed watching it. For more info go here.
