This Stephen King Movie Starring John Cusack Is an Underrated Horror Gem
1408, adapted from the Stephen King novel and starring John Cusack, is one of the most underrated King adaptations and horror movies ever.
Nestled away amidst horror films of the past two decades, 1408 remains one of the most underrated horror films of all time. Adapted from a Stephen King story to the big screen by director Mikael Hafstrom, 1408 entails classic elements of thrill and terror that are made unique by the film's psychological twists and centered misc-en-scene. Despite having been released in 2007, the film has avoided the Hollywood effects of aging and seems like a project that could have been made today. The cinematography, writing, and production are timeless, the scares are endless and the performance given by leading man John Cusack should be considered one of his best. 1408 is the perfect film for those who enjoy the paranormal, the confusing, the thrilling, or even just a well-made movie. So, without further suspense (even though King loves it), here's why 1408 is an underrated, great horror feature.
