can you say all shock and no plot . there be so many unexplored direction in this movie . there be no history about the room other than the death . why be it evil . what make it that way . why an hour countdown . then and there be the unexplored thing hint at while for example we saw a camera in the air vent and which he mention . but when he climb up say vent and there be no camera . how about the fact that all the ghost look digital and and thing wink out before hit the ground make a static noise . hmmm . when you put all of those thing together and it make room 1408 look like a high tech spook house . except that there be no follow up on that . oh . by the way . electronics do not work in 1408. well and except for the tv . the cell phone have no signal and but wireless internet work fine . how many incontinuities can you possibly add . i be sorry and but this film be nothing but shock after shock . it all be do before . reflection in the mirror . thing just out of site . change painting . bleed wall . the oh and it be all just a dream . no it wasn not . and and if the room be evil and why make our main character come to term with his daughter death and if it be go to keep him trap there forever anyway . it just do not make sense . additionally and there be no background information about the first book that he write . just some vague information about the dad be a jerk and so forth . speaking of dad and what be with the bit about his father . you will be in my place . overall and a truly horrible movie . it be 100 % adrenalin shock factor and without any new or innovative effect and and certainly no back story and character development and etc . my overall impression be that the entire movie be make on the cheap while pretty much use one set and a couple of location shot and and be nothing but an effect film of recycled and cheesy and see that before effect .
