What really freaks me out about this movie, is that it really reminds me of when I had a horrible trip on acid. I experienced, what felt like, a never ending cycle of horrible events repeating over and over, which I thought was hell, and that satan was torturing me, and every time I thought it was about to stop, it would start over again, and it really truly felt like this movie in a sense.

Does anyone else think John Cusack gave an awesome performance in this film? I thought he did great. Especially in parts where sudden realization sets in for him and how he reacts to them. It’s like you can actually see his mind taking a brief moment to register what just happened. Like when he suddenly believes he’s being spied on by a camera in the ceiling vent. Or when he’s crawling through the vent looking down into the other room, and she looks up at him, then he yells “Jesus Christ!” And recoils. And obviously one of the most important ones, when he has the whole “I was out!” scene.

7:47 "As you are, I was. As I am, you will be." - best scene ever.

That window scene is one of the most effective scenes I have ever seen in a horror movie. I absolutely love it.

"as you are, i was, as i am, you will be", terrifying reality

1408 was attacked by critics and called mediocre when it released, but that's total bullshit, this is a classic and one of John's best performances!

Still the creepiest part to me melting phone--

This is the movie I reference when someone asks what a "bad trip" feels like in your mind.

I love people who "see through" a movie, not just "watching" a movie.

Samuel Jackson: 52 people have died in this room.

That "I WAS OUT" moment resonates with anyone who has ever gotten back with an ex and realized you done fucked up getting back in again.

That awful parking job that Mike pulls 9:20 at the post office is why he gets it in the end.

1408 was such a hardcore story from King at the time. The thing that struck me when I listened to the audiobook is that, unlike many of his stories that deal with evil, this one had a very hard edge with absolutely no hint of the "tongue in cheek." -- just the purest, most straightforward, succinct, compact, concentrated example of something evil that I think King ever wrote. Short and sweet, and 100% black as hell.
