1408

[HannibleL316]

Watch this film if you havent yet done so!

I read a couple of bad review on it so I was expecting much going to the cinema, but it turned out suprisingly good!
And very scarey in places too!

I find its usually a hit or a very big miss imo with Stephen King movies, but when done well, its done very well!

Anyone else seen it?

Nope but now I want to. Chances are I won't go to the cinema but I'll try and rent it when it's released. To be honest I'm not 100% up on what it's about. This may require a bit of searching when I have my lunch.

Well I told some people to go watch it yesterday and told them how good it was...
They saw it last night and thought it was OK, but nothing special.
Must of been as I wasnt expecting much I thought it was good and with me telling them this it got over-hyped for them lol

This is off IMDB.com ...
Based on the short Stephen King horror story of the same name, 1408 surrounds supernatural writer Mike Enslin, an author of two hit books focusing on supernatural phenomena. As research for his latest book, Enslin is determined to check out the notorious room 1408 in a New York City hotel by personally staying as a guest in the fabled room. With the intention that 1408 is just a myth perpetuated by stories and rumor that Enslin has collected for his past works. However, hotel manager Mr. Olin has strong objections to Enslin's stay and only warns him of possible danger to come. But Enslin is determined to go through and convinced that the horrific past of 1408 is just mere coincidence and a myth. But what Mike Enslin is about to experience is no myth, as 1408 truly is a room where the guests don't check out by noon

I went outta my way to see it back when it came out three months ago, im one of the "it was ok" types, couldnt figure what the buzz was about or the good rotten tomatoes reviews...

[HannibleL316]

Well I think its clear, if you go into it not expecting much you will like it alot!

[HannibleL316]

Rented it last night and it was a totally different ending to what I saw in the cinema!!! LOL

Went to the special features on the DVD aswel and there was no alternate ending feature!?

In the cinema I got the ending where Mike Enslin lived and at the end he was sitting in a room with his wife and they played his recorder back and they heard his dead daughter talking.

In the DVD ending I saw last night he died! And Samuel L Jacksons character went to his funeral and went up to his wife to try and give her some of his belongings he found in the room (the recorder etc...) but she wouldn't accept them and he went back to his car and he played back the recorder and heard Mike and his daughter talking!

Did anyone know there was alternate endings? lol

[Gabriel013]

Stupid if they don't give you both endings on the DVD. There might be a Theatrical DVD release coming.

[HannibleL316]

Maybe because mine was a rental DVD. It did have other special features on it though.

It did say Directors Cut on the main page aswel so maybe that has got something to do with it.
