For this movie review of “1408,” The Dude on the Right was utterly thrilled to find a horror/thriller movie totally well done without the slasher-film mentality. Sure there are lots of pictures of folks who killed themselves and their loved ones in room 1408, but mostly this movie is all about mind games that might be nightmares or might be reality, and they’re lasting for a little over an hour once you enter the room. To quote the Eagles song “Hotel California” you can check out, but you can never leave. In the end you just have to decide how you want to check out of room 1408.
