I caught 1408 this weekend, which I enjoyed even though I'm not much of a horror fan. It had a good mixture of suspense, psyche, and jump factor, along with a sprinkling of plot. They could have just called it "John Cusack in a Room" and I would have probably seen it, having enjoyed his work since his beginnings in Better Off Dead.
Most of it does take place in the aforementioned room... 1408. John's character, a ghost hunting skeptic writer, battles amorphous evil, his mind, and the past. There is not a whole lot of gore/shock here, so if you are into that, maybe you would be better off sitting in your basement with the lights out, watching The Texas Chainsaw movies. If, like myself, you prefer more of a psychological thriller, with a hint of suspense and morality all rolled together like one of those crazy Panera bagels, then this might be the movie for you. Also, Sam Jackson as a hotel proprietor. Wonderful.
