TCP#11: 1408

This week’s theme is Supernaturals. If you have seen a movie that is all about an existence beyond the scientifically visible universe, miracles, angels and demons, ghosts, magic, or even the paranormal, then come share it with us this week.

I’m not one to watch Horror movies because the scenes always stay in my head no matter how many years it has been. The last horror movie I saw was The 6th sense and after sleepless and terrifying nights due to my wild imagination, I never watched anything that’s remotely close to that genre ever again.

But I gave 1408 a chance because my husband told me it wasn’t that scary. I’m all for paranormals and the inexplicable after all. It’s the look of the dead, evil and what-not (the ring, the grudge) that really scares me.

What I love about 1408 is that I didn’t get scared of the “ghosts” but the fact that something so bad can happen to you in a room in one hour. There’s no escape, you are tortured by your own past / thoughts, and that even if you thought you’re safe and away from that room, you’d be surprised that you’re still inside and realize that there is no going out. EVER. The room will do its best to make you want to end your life than suffer another 60 minutes inside.

Makes me wonder what I will see if I was the one staying there. It plays with what’s in your mind so it’s different for every person. Glad it was a happy ending though because I wouldn’t be able to bear it if nothing good ever comes out of that film.
