The first half is a good film, with a large number of plots and suspense repeated one after another, raising everyone's curiosity to a very high position. I wonder what secrets this house hides? Especially how an atheist was succumbed to, and killed.
Finally Cusack died. Judging from the last recording of his daughter, he died not of hallucinations, but of abuse by real demons. 1408 is a demon. In the room, there is absolutely no reason at all, no rules of operation. Whoever enters the room is in a very unfair position from the start and is doomed to fail. On the surface, Cusack wanted to challenge this house. His belief was based on atheism. In reality, there were no ghosts and gods in nature. He believed that the most he faced was that some people deliberately pretended to be ghosts.
But the so-called challenge does not exist in the film at all, because the room itself is the devil, and the challenge competition actually becomes a one-way abuse. Someone in the discussion area asked what to do if we entered the house instead, such as throwing things out of the window, such as lying on the bed all the time, etc. Obviously these are useless. Everything in this room is virtual. The scenery outside the bed is all fake, and the time is also fake. Even if you sleep with your head covered all night, you still wake up without an hour. What the male protagonist faces is not man-made deliberate fooling, but the oppression of supernatural forces, which is doomed to the fate of the male protagonist who will die no matter how he struggles.
It is because of such a rogue setting that the whole film loses its interest. The well-crafted suspense becomes a kind of folly, the anticipation of the hero's wits being replaced by a depressing plunge into the abyss of endless despair.
