I watched this with my friends, and it was very very very creepy. I loved it though. Really good movie for not too much blood, but scary. There is mention of various other deaths, mostly suicides. Lots of drinking, language, and creepiness, but the drinking was mainly because he was so stressed. the language was because the room was trying to kill him, and he didn't smoke until the end, when he thought he was going to die. If you like scary movies it's good, pretty unrealistic though. My friends and I are doing a YouTube spoof of it hopefully.

ok for young teens and up
This movie was okay. It was about a man who was looking for a paranormal occurance in hotels and other creepy places, trying to find his daughter who died shortly before. Well, room 1408 was what he's been waiting for. This movie was a bit hard to understand, but once I got in to the movie, I found it pretty interesting. It was not bloody or gross like that. It was only creepy because this man is being tortured by his deseaced daughter and is going crazy in this one small hotel room. Hoe this helped!

good
Due, this movie scared me. I always have thought old paintings were creepy, and when I saw them changing, i nearly crapped myself. Still, it's a good movie for anyone looking for a good scare

Perfect horror movie!
I thought it was a great' movie' extreamly scary though. Main character, Mike, is most of the time usually drinking some sort of alcoholic drink. He is an author and writes about the scary places he's been. He decides to go to the most haunted hotel room ever and when he gets there it gets more and more scarier. There are lots of scary refrences (e.g. you see a woman comit suicide and jusm out the window and screams on the way down. Another thing that happens is the he sees a man in a room across the street and all of a sudden the man starts doing everything Mike does then Mike sees a ghost behind the man and Mike turns around and sees it).

Quite disturbing. F bombs push PG-13 limits.
My rating: PG-13 [borderline with R] for frequent horror-related sequences of disturbing violence, some strong language and alcohol use.

Cool Movie
I watched 1408 and it was a really good movie, but the use the "s" word in there and the "d" word and the "a" word, too. To me, it really wasn't scary, but I know there are some kids who are not like me and may think that it is. There was violence, but not a lot.

Scary!
This scared the heck out of me. Some uses of G-d-mn, several uses of the 's' word, at least two 'f' words and other strong profanity words.

Good scary movie for teens+
I loved this movie. It is great for a first scary movie, I think. The violence consists of photographs of dead bodies of people that have committed suicide (hangings, gunshots, drownings, sliced throats), A lady's ghost jumping out of a window, a bloodied hand, Kicking a zombie like creatures head until it crumbles, peril and disturbing images/elements, a little girl dissolving into dust, and some other images that could be considered inapropriate. Language is a little bit iffy, including strong curses like f*ck, sh*t, and a**hole, plus some milder words along the lines of d*mn, h*ll, a**, and b*tch. No sexual content to be concerned about. Mike drinks like crazy and smokes a bit also. I rate this OFF for 11 and under, IFFY for 12, and ON for ages 13 and older.

good if you dont get scared easily
I saw this movie when I was nine, and it wasn't that scary. I actually liked it, but I still think you should be 12 or older. If you don't like sudden things popping up and happening then you shouldn't watch it. I really don't get scared easily so it would be different for other people.

Appropriate for teens and up; awesomely suspenseful!
For a movie based on a Stephen King story, it is not too scary. It is pretty bloody, though. The language used is infrequent: about seven "sh**"s and one "f**k". The man drinks a lot in the film.

Scary!
This movie is scary. There are two uses of the 'f' word, 9 uses of the 's' word, and 4 uses of"G-dd-mn". Some bloody images, and scary moments. Intense violence throughout.

A Very Good Psychological Horror Film
The film uses very little blood or gore in order to scare. The evil, yellow tinted hotel room that half the film takes place in becomes creepier and creepier as the film goes on. It truly is one of the best films made in recent years.

This movie is one of the best movies that I have seen. I like the original ending better because the main character didn't die.
