1408 opened up this weekend and it came in 2nd place. The pg-13 rated scare fest took in twice as much as the R Rated "Hostel II" did on its opening weekend. This goes to show you that people are tired of sequels or gross out horror movies.
Now 1408 is a good movie. Its not great but its good. To me however its Stephen King just recycled "The Shining".
The movie does provide you with scares and it does the job it was set to do. However to me because of the PG-13 rating I think there is an unrated DVD coming out around Halloween time. The movie was a Sony/MGM release and Sony is known for releasing movies quickly to DVD. In fact its not uncommon for Sony to release a movie on DVD in 90 days after its premire theatrical engagement.
Now the movie is worth renting later but not buying.
