![]() All in all, a tight little old fashioned ghost story that I enjoyed very much, Cusack or no Cusack. ![]() If someone couldn't follow the movie, the story will make even less sense. If everything needs to be explained to that level, what is the point of watching these kinds of movies? Also, some are criticizing the adaptation from the story yet admitting they haven't actually read the story. ![]() It isn't complicated and it isn't exactly groundbreaking. The man is being assaulted nonstop by a supernatural force and cannot tell what is real and what isn't. It was pretty straightforward and very well done. What other explanation does there need to be? I'm not sure how some people could not follow this movie, or what they were looking for. Dread Central 1408 is an impressive feat for a PG-13 horror movie (although I saw the unrated director cut), a quality and entertaining movie that does not need to break down into needless violence or gore in order for the fear and suspense to break out. I see people saying the character wasn't set up and his 'behavioral changes' from cynical writer to emotional basket case were not explained. For starters, 1408 has what few contemporary horror flicks have: a classy build-up. I absolutely despise John Cusack - I mean, I really hate him he's the reason I never saw it before now even though I adore Stephen King - and I still enjoyed the hell out of it. ![]() There are so many bad reviews for this movie.
