I could have sworn I reviewed this before...
But what the hell.
1408 is a great movie for experienced Bluelighters. The movie is a K-hole from hell. It starts out slowly, giving you a firm grasp over the main character. One things get going, however, they don't stop.
A lot is left open to interpretation. The basic timeline of the movie, the motivations of some characters, the fate of other characters, the ending.
Okay... the entire movie is one giant headfuck that doesn't give any concrete answers or resolutions. Once the story actually gets rolling, you can take it in any number of directions.
All in all, I really enjoyed this movie. I can't wait for the DVD release. Hopefully it will include some good commentaries and the original ending (which didn't test well with audiences).
All in all, this isn't so much a "catch it on the big screen" flick as it is a "rent it and watch it while under the influence... and again while sober... and again just for the hell of it" flick.
Four solid stars.
