My favorite movie is.... oh, i don't know! How can i write about that?

I love so many films… especially the horror movies; people look at me and say: you? You are a girl! …. Yeah I’m a little girl… of course, I love other kinds of movies too.

Ok, I must choose just one movie.


One of my favorite movies is “1408” (2007), because this movie is about a book, no, actually a short story by THE master Stephen King (clap clap!! Ohh! You are the best!). This movie was directed by Mikael Hafström who did an awesome work, basing the film in one of King´s books and "maintaining the idea"… and, of course, it’s a psychological horror film!

The story: Mike Enslin (Cusack was cast to star in the film, being the only important character) is our guy, he is a skeptical man who, after the death of Katie (his little daughter), writes books about paranormal situations that happen in many places

He receives an anonymous postcard from “The Dolphin”, an old and posh hotel in New York city, the message says: “Don’t enter 1408”. Of course, Mike decides to go to the Te Dolphin hotel and checks into the fabled room 1408… but the hotel will not rent him (or anybody!!) the room. Arriving at the Dolphin Hotel, Mike talks with Gerald Olin (the hotel manager), who warns him about the fact that no one has ever lasted than an hour in 1408. Gerald says that many people have died there. Enslin doesn't listen to him and enters the room anyway.

In the creepy room, Mike sees strange things, supernatural things... (for example: the digital clock resets itself to a 60-minute countdown of his life!!! ) He's either going to have to confront his past or succumb to madness.

Ok, it's not the best horror movie that's been made, but is different enough. The main subject is about Enslin's battle with mind over matter and reality over fantasy. I think it’s a psychologically thrilling movie that leaves you gasping in the end.

Come on! Give me a chance, see the movie and tell me your opinion
