I like that in 1408 there are no violent or disgusting gory scenes, the man only gets his hand caught by the window. Old tricks such as a haunted room with blood oozing from walls and defective taps and doors are really creepy here (but the zombie is not). And at the same time the movie is not too complicated for perception. After watching the feeling of unsolved conundrum remains.
What's interesting, our opinion about the reality of the events is changing a few times during the film, and I can't be sure that the final impression is right. Language includes one use of "f-k" and plenty of other words: "s-t," "ass," "bitch," etc. Mike drinks frequently and smokes once (very dramatically).
The nightmare-style narrative is illogical and sometimes disturbing, including ghosts, loud noises, jump scenes, and grotesque images of insects and bloody corpses. He also suffers increasing emotional distress and irrationality, remembering both his young daughter, who died of a disease (scenes show the wasting girl and arguments between her parents), and his resentful, despairing, wheelchair-bound father. Parents need to know that this horror film is more about psychology than gore, though the main character, Mike, does sustain some bloody injuries from the various attacks on him (flying furniture, collapsing architecture, and more).
Mike drinks frequently (cognac, hotel liquor bottles) Mike thinks he's been "dosed." Mike's mirror image smokes a former smoker, he ritually keeps a cigarette near him so he might use it if necessary - by film's end, he does.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content?
