Good movie. typical Stephen King movie. the plot was similar to how IT went. very slow, plot building, then WHAM BAM people start dieing type of thing. I didn’t read the book so I cant compare. its like a tarrentino film, if you dont like stephen king, you wont like it… his stories just are unique.
Some of the parts where scary some where more plot building. Sam Jackson was awesome… i love him as an actor.
The ending was one of my top ten movie endings… i got teh chills…

I would tell people to see it on DVD,only if someone else rented it.
Luck for me I went to the Transit Drive-in & saw Transformers before 1408

I’ll download the xvid later and see how it is. I thought the previews looked stupid.

oh i saw this. i’m not sure if i was scared, just more or less freaked out i guess?
anyway, i definitely thought it was also a tad bit sad. i’d suggest to just wait and rent it.

I liked it enough… There was only one time when I flinched, but it was pretty well done.
SPOILER:
I wasn’t sure if my comprehension of the ending was accurate, and I don’t believe what I WANTED to happen is what they intended, but:
I wish when they played the tape recorder and heard the girls voice, it implied that the both of them were now stuck in the room together, similar to what happened 3/4 of the way through the movie. When the room took over his laptop and spoke out to her to come to the room alone etc… that really happened, etc.
As I tried to say, I doubt this was the intention of Stephen King or the director, but it would have been cool if the movie ended that way

i thought the beginning was good… suspenseful. then it just went nuts… and boring… was not scary at all… But awfully cool plot and twists…
3.5 / 5 for me probably higher if it actually scared me

Maaaybe 2/5. I thought it sucked. I’m all for sci-fi, but this was just dumb.
But like you said, I’m not a Stephen King fan. Maybe just wasn’t my type of sci-fi.

1/5 I thought it was awful. Being a fan of Steven King I’m sure the book was good.
