1408 – Movie Review (2007)

In keeping with “1408′s” theme of a numerical title, I thought we would play the numbers game real fast. Not counting sequels, short films or anthology television shows, “1408″ is the 45th film to be based of a Stephen King story since “Carrie” was released back in 1976. 45 films over a 30 year period has yield only 15 decent Stephen King films with the top 3 of his adaptations oddly being his least horrific; “The Shining”, “The Shawshank Redemption” and “Misery.” Unfortunately for Mr. King (and the audience) “1408″ does not cause the “good” King films to grow to 16. Instead it joins the likes of “The Langoliers”, “The Dark Half”, “The Mangler”, “Dolores Claiborne” and 25 other shitty flicks that attempt to ride the Stephen King cash cow.
