The most terrifying thing is the kind of fear that comes from people's hearts

Although it is old-fashioned, I still have to say that the most terrifying thing is the kind of fear that comes from people's hearts.
This is yet another film that changed Stephen King's novel. There are no bloody scenes, no scary pictures, but these do not affect the ups and downs of the plot, especially at the end, I thought that the protagonist finally escaped from room 1408 and was relieved for him, but it was not over. So much so that I didn't know what was going to happen in the ten seconds after the last film.

    "God won't help you directly, but it will hint you indirectly. From the hotel manager's dissuasion, to the sofa at the door blocking the steps, to the elevator opening to suggest that you leave quickly, and finally the air conditioner is broken, someone repairs it and suggests to leave the room, God can help. With so many, I still remain unmoved. If I choose to pretend to be forced, I can only choose to repeat or commit suicide. I am struck by lightning." There was introspection in the horror, and several settings were brilliant.

    The disadvantage is that it is not scary. The ending was very good, the climax was in the last twenty minutes.

  • Mike Enslin: [describing the room] There's a sofa, a writing desk, faux antique armoire, floral wallpaper. Carpet's unremarkable except for a stain beneath a thrift-store painting of a schooner lost at sea. The work is done in the predictably dull fashion of Currier and Ives. The second painting is of an old woman reading bedtime stories - a Whistler knockoff - to a group of deranged children while another Madonna and child watch from the background. It does have the vague air of menace. The third and final, painfully dull painting, the ever popular "The Hunt". Horses, hounds and constipated British lords. Some smartass spoke about the banality of evil. If that's true, then we've in the 7th circle of hell.

    Mike Enslin: It does have its charms.

  • Mike Enslin: [talk into tape recorder] Hotels are a naturally creepy place... Just think, how many people have slept in that bed before you? How many of them were sick? How many... died?
