Fashion Wire Daily - Put John Cusack in a haunted hotel room courtesy of Stephen King&#39;s twisted mind, and what do you get? If Cusack and his co-stars Samuel L. Jackson, Mary McCormack, and Jasmine Jessica Anthony have their way, they&#39;ll get a huge summer box office hit with &quot;1408.&quot;

It is something that the makers of horror films have instinctively known for years - seeing someone wide-eyed with fear scares the living daylights out the rest of us who are watching.

LOS ANGELES Sept. 26, 2004 - It&#39;s been a bad time for movies in general lately, but good for thrillers like &quot;The Forgotten,&quot; which claimed the No.

This actors&#39; showcase about four people making each other miserable is technically commendable but tough to like. By Robert Horton.

Much of the dialogue in &quot;Closer,&quot; written by Patrick Marber and directed by Mike Nichols, is as pointed, cold and sharp as an icicle.

Okay, a few days ago I wrote a review of the Diving Bell and the Butterfly saying it could be the best picture of 2007, but even so you might want to skip it because the truth it reveals might be something you don't want to look at. It's a fine picture, but a tough one. Another wonderful but tough picture is No Country for Old Men. It's one of those movies that leaves so much unresolved that you walk out of the theater not sure which foot goes in front of the other. On a second viewing it makes much more sense. The world isn't necessarily as crazy as it at first seemed. But there's a movie that is also incredibly well crafted, and gets better every time you think about it -- Juno. I didn't realize how much I liked it until I heard someone compare it to Little Miss Sunshine, a movie that I did not enjoy, unlike everyone else it seems. I loved Juno because it organizes its sweetness into love for one person, the star of the movie, Juno. But everyone, no matter how dorky or clueless (and some of the adults are truly dorky and clueless) shares the love. The movie has a wholeness, an unqualified goodness, you not only walk out of the theater in love with Juno and everyone else in the movie, but your heart is warmed for everyone, including yourself. It's that good.  All three remind how good movies can be. And there were some not-too-bad movies at the end of 2007, for example, Atonement, which some didn't like, but I did. 3:10 to Yuma is a well-crafted genre picture. Michael Clayton was a perfect showcase for the talents of George Clooney. Great acting and a simple story in The Savages.  Which one was the best? I'd hate to have to choose!

Eastern Promises, David Cronenberg's latest film, depending on which way you look at it, is either a horrifyingly cool exposition of the uncaring value system in a modern day mafia family or a devastating thriller with internalised ramifications for all us 'ordinary' people.

Kenneth Branagh&#39;s new  version of Anthony Shaffer&#39;s crime caper &quot;Sleuth&quot; looks  smashing, and it features several great new lines by  screenwriter Harold Pinter. But despite top-flight acting from  Michael Caine and Jude Law, it loses its grip in the third act  and lets the air out of what might have been a memorable film.

THE SOUND of running water. The shadow of a figure beyond the shower curtain. And then the jangle of that curtain being ripped open, and the close-up of a woman screaming, and the stab of Bernard Herrmann&#39;s music on the soundtrack.

Forgot scary movies. Horror video games loaded with zombies and other monsters will really make your skin crawl.

Stephen Kingâs use of horror is not what it used to be. It may still be the impetus for his stories, but it is no longer the foremost reason theyâre interesting.

I did not see the Japanese version of this story, but I will look it up after seeing &quot;The Grudge.&quot; This is a pretty good horror film.

Given moviegoers&#39; endless obsession with thrillers and sci-fi flicks, is it any surprise which new film took up residence at the top of the box-office heap this week?

We&#39;ve pretty much seen it all - to the point that nothing really bothers or frightens most viewers these days. And ever since Sept. 11, 2001, the idea of being scared by a movie seems trivial and silly.

Sharks aren&#39;t the only terror in this thriller that also explores the human condition. The greatest horror movies of the past century all work on us in much the same manner. They seize upon our fears of the unknown; they let our mind ...

As the studios clear shelf space to get ready for their fall sales, movies like &quot;Paparazzi&quot; get released. Burdened with wooden acting and a laughable, &quot;Death
