A haunting tale from the king of horror - Diversions

A haunting tale from the king of horror - Diversions:

Many of the films that borrow from the works of Stephen King are hit or miss. Secret Window, Dreamcatcher, Hearts in Atlantis and The Green Mile are just some of the more recent ones, but only the last one could be considered a real success. The premise of 1408 doesn't make it stand out special amongst the rest: a story about an author who investigates haunted hotels and then finally finds a haunted one feels like an unoriginal clich�. But thanks in part to the always enjoyable performances of John Cusack (The Contract) and Samuel L. Jackson (Home of the Brave), as well as a rather fresh take on an old subject, 1408 is a must-see for horror fans and a quality film all around.
