I definitely agree with you, my dear Fuzzy Bear.
I felt as though, conceptually this should have been a soft ball and that the execution at the beginning was clean, tense, and well-done.
But it quickly melted into typical Stephen King sentimental bullshit (don't get me wrong; I love King, but the man cannot write about the emotional weakness of man without blatantly pandering to the moronic masses) that was emphasized by Hollywood saccharine sensibilities.
Part of what makes me hate 1408 so much is that I feel as though it could have been so, so, SO much better than it ultimately was. But the twist was predictable and the end came muuuuuuuuch too late. :mad:
