This movie is 94 minutes and up until minute number 93, I was aching to love it, praying for a surprise ending and hoping not to be disappointed.

As you can guess, none of that happened.

Even though the premise is immensely interesting (no one has ever lived in hotel room 1408 more than 60 minutes) it falls apart rather rapidly.

It's borrowed interest from the TV show "Dallas" (remember that JR getting shot was actually just a dream) and "Groundhog Day" (where your punishment is to relive the same day over and over) and "Misery" (the author sees a waitress in a restaurant who looks exactly like the villain who tried to kill him) to "The Sixth Sense" (I see dead people.)

I could go on and on. Every couple of minutes you realize they've stolen some schtick from some other movie.

Simply dreadful.

Steven King had nothing to do with this movie. Or if he did, getting hit by that car up in Maine several years ago did some pretty serious irrepairable damage.
