      1408--Despair in the House of Horrors

      "Everything is nothing, even I may be nothing, but only this flame is real." Despair doesn't seem so scary anymore. The only scary thing is that when we thought we had already escaped from the sea of despair, we suddenly found that happiness is nothing but a beautiful nightmare, and the despair that has not disappeared is the real reality.

      fierce enough

      Another haunted house movie, but this time for a hotel room. The various hallucinations and special effects are very scary. The male protagonist tried to escape through the window and found that the scene with the walls outside was suffocating... The movie tells us that if you don't die, you won't die... It's really scary, I don't recommend it Watch alone at night. However, it does show that there should be no regrets before death. There is only one life, so you still have to think about it...

      1408

      The name is 1408, it will be better to remember and more suitable for the theme. At first, it was a bit ignorant. The premise is to talk about horror movies. The premise is that there are some things that have nothing to do. It reduces the desire to watch, but the suspense part of the movie is still very exciting. It's my own reflection. It's a bit like "The Night When the Comet Came" (well, I want to watch this type again) I want to climb out of this room, but I find that...

      I never watched it on TV when I was a kid

      When I grow up, it feels really wonderful to look back at the suspense that I didn't solve when I was a child.

      The first half of the textbook-level horror film, the second half of the journey still returned to the universal morality like melodrama, but some surreal scenes (demolition of walls) created without abusing CGI in that era are quite good.

      The heart of horror is the unpredictable. Generic horror experiences must be based on human senses (sound design, with misleading...

      John Cusack - Mushroom and "1408"

      About the Movie:
      It's another Stephen King's Movie;
      the protagonist is also a nervous-minded writer;
      he lives in the famously haunted Dolphin Hotel at 1408.
      If you thought it was a mix of The Shining and Mystery Window,
      you'd only get half a point.
      I'd rather think it's a John Cusack solo show;
      because most of the time he's fighting the spooky room 1408
      by himself, mumbling to himself with that tape recorder used for psychotherapy;
      I often miss the...

    Movie plot

    The protagonist Mike Anselin ( John Cusack ) is a horror novelist. Mike, who takes pretending to be a ghost as his job, is a complete atheist on weekdays. In order to complete his new book, Mike decided to find a "haunted" room to live for ten days, and he was bold enough to choose room 1408 of the most eerie dolphin hotel rumored to be. Hotel manager Gerald Olin ( Samuel Jackson ) took out photos of dozens of bizarre deaths in that...

    As the absolute starring role of the film, John Cusack has dedicated his impeccable perfect acting skills and interprets a middle-aged writer who is suffering from the pain of bereavement, suffering from the heart to make him suspicious, and truly illusory. This is an important weight for the success of the film.  (Mtime.com)
    An excellent and quite good horror film, although it is small in scale, it is well-made. And unlike some horror...

    Movie quotes

    • Mike Enslin: [describing the room] There's a sofa, a writing desk, faux antique armoire, floral wallpaper. Carpet's unremarkable except for a stain beneath a thrift-store painting of a schooner lost at sea. The work is done in the predictably dull fashion of Currier and Ives. The second painting is of an old woman reading bedtime stories - a Whistler knockoff - to a group of deranged children while another Madonna and child watch from the background. It does have the vague air of menace. The third and final, painfully dull painting, the ever popular "The Hunt". Horses, hounds and constipated British lords. Some smartass spoke about the banality of evil. If that's true, then we've in the 7th circle of hell.

      [turns off tape recorder and pauses, then turns it back on]

      Mike Enslin: It does have its charms.

    • Mike Enslin: [talk into tape recorder] Hotels are a naturally creepy place... Just think, how many people have slept in that bed before you? How many of them were sick? How many... died?

    • Gerald Olin: Hotels are all about presentation and fertile creature comforts.
