Why Is 1408 Better Than The Story

In the story of 1408 there was thing that was always going on, suspense. The feeling of something going to always was going to jump out was very heavy in the movie adaptation of the the story. There is one question between these two forms of story telling, who had the better suspense? In this essay I will be going over the story and the movie of 1408 find out who had the best suspense? Mike’s problem starting before he even getting in to room 1408. This feeling of suspense is kept well in both the story and the movie. The problems Mike has before he even gets in to room 1408 are when we find out more about what makes room 1408 such a evil place. The hotel owner, Mr.Olin, is trying to stop Mike from coming in to the room by showing him news story’s about all the people who had killed themselves in the room. This helps build up if Mike will kill himself if he goes in to room 1408. I feel like both the story and movie do a good job of keeping this feeling of if mike will kill himself in room 1408.
In the movie of 1408 sound is one of the things that makes it such a scare movie. An example of music being used to help scare you is when Mike looks out his window and sees a man watching tv. He waves at man and the man waves back but he then starts doing other things and the man copies whatever Mike is doing. Mike then sees a man beside the other man this makes mike think that maybe is behind him. With a loud sound que we see the other man attack Mike and after running from him the man is gone. This works so well because if there was no music when the man attack then it wouldn’t have scared the viewer as
