1408 thinks "scary" means turning the lights off and slamming a kitchen drawer.

Even the popcorn looked bored during 1408.

1408: every character holds the idiot ball with both hands and a strap.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in 1408?
Everyone praising the 1408 performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Hot Take: 1408's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched 1408 last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

The cinematography in 1408 is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Look, I wanted to love 1408. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Unpopular opinion: 1408 is the most overrated film of the decade
Just got out of 1408 and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
