FILM 1408 Well I went to see it last night and I can honestly say that it was a load of crap. It was not suspenseful or frightening. After the film ended my mother in law and I turned to each other and both said at the same time "Well that was a load of bollocks!". Felt like getting my money back for false misrepresentation. It was so boring that I had to pinch myself from not falling asleep. I would recommend to anyone that they wait for the video.
Has anyone else felt the same about a film they went to see. The hype just doesn't match the film!  [Edited 9/5/07 6:10am] "I may not agree with what you say but I'll fight for your right to say it"

One film that has got a good write up is Death Sentence with Kevin Bacon. My sister in law has seen it and says that it is a good film. As for 1408 I guarantee you will be disappointed!! "I may not agree with what you say but I'll fight for your right to say it"

[Edited 9/5/07 6:10am] Yes, I've been played by the hype before and it always irritates me. As far as this movie goes, here in the states there was no hype about this movie and I thought it was a good movie. So did everyone else I talked to who saw it. It was one of a few Stephen King stories that translated well to film, IMO. I use www.rottentomatoes.com which has a ton of reviews from all over the country to look at what the majority says about a movie before I go and see it. Sometimes though, people just don't get the movie.  | |

[Edited 9/5/07 6:10am] Yes, frequently - especially when it comes to horror or thriller films. My best examples have to be 'The Village' and 'Lady in the water' - hey, same director! The trailers were brilliantly edited but the whole experience of sitting through both was about as memorable as Victoria Beckham's solo career! I actually walked out half way through 'Lady in the water' and got my money back - it was the most boring plot ever and hardly scary at all. As for 'The Village,' which was tipped as 'the #1 worldwide thriller,' again a completely dull plot that didn't really go anywhere complete with an instantly forgettable cast. I also think 'Star Wars: Phantom Menace' was really overhyped and I know I'm not alone there. | |

The critics either want to kiss Stephen King's ass or they were pissed!!!  "I may not agree with what you say but I'll fight for your right to say it"
