Fourteen Oh Eight is a great movie. I managed to purchase the Director's Cut on accident though. It is still good, but there are parts in the movie that aren't in the acctual movie. Be careful when purchasing the Director's cut because there is a different ending than the normal movie. Personally, I think the original ending, or should I say, ending that apears on the regular version or movie version, is much better. Some beg to differ. See for yourself. Hands down, great movie. If you haven't seen it, either pick it up, or find someone who has it. You won't be disappointed.
Here's why. Stephen King's psychological horror rarely ever shows its face on the screen the way it appears in his writing. This movie captures a lot of the mental torture that Stephen King writes so well (embodied in room 1408). I typically always see Cusack as playing himself in every movie he's in. Fortunately, this role appeals to that character. I would say see it and judge for yourself. I specifically enjoyed the background music and director's choice of camera angles. I also appreciated the mix of surprise horror and psychological. All too often, a horror film loads up too much on one angle and is predictable at times. 1408 is a fresh perpective on horror, and needless to say a spectacular performance.
Not bad, actually follows the story (book) closer than most. Interesting concept, but then King has a way of writing out of the box. I'm a King fan but would recommend either way :)
