Has anyone here seen "1408?" I've read a few somewhat mixed reviews on it.

Yes, saw it yesterday. It's a pretty good horror, lots of shocks (although admittedly I do shock easily). IF you like horrors I'd recommend it. If you're squeamish at all I wouldn't.

I've never been into the "bloody" horror stuff. I really like movies in the vein of The Shining, The Others, The Gift, Misery, Rosemary's Baby, Stir of Echos...more mind-tripping stuff than highly gorey.

Plus, I've always been a little partial to J. Cusack too...

It's not that bloody, just lots of scares and some nasty, thought mostly out of focus/tilted off camera photos. If you like the movies you list I think you'll like this. Give it a go!

Kc, I'm with you on those movies. I don't watch the bloody, gory, how many different ways can we kill somebody, movies.

I really enjoyed this. When it was over it felt like only 30 minutes had gone by. Wonderfully fast paced.

For those that have seen this, did you notice how the ending scene was recycled from "Misery"?

I didn't get the same vibe from this movie as The Ring at all, Dolphinschild. Completely different kind of scares. I don't want to say too much.

btw, it's rated PG-13, not R, so that in itself says a lot toward the content.

Also, right now it has a very respectable 77% rating at Rottentomatoes.

Thanks Naja, I appreciate the info. I have to becareful of the kind of thriller/scary movies I go see. So since it is not the same vibe and it is PG-13 I am sure I will be ok. I don't like the hack and slash kinds either. I like good suspense, make you keep thinking kind of thriller's.
