《1408》改編自當代恐怖小說之王史蒂芬金的短篇故事,對愛看驚悚恐怖片的影迷而言,史蒂芬金已經是個毋須贅述的鼎鼎大名,從1976年的《魔女嘉莉》開始,史蒂芬金的暢銷恐怖小說就開始成了好萊塢求之不得的電影題材來源,無論是恐怖片的經典如《鬼店》、《戰慄遊戲》等,還是精彩刻劃人性的《站在我這邊》、《刺激1995》等,史蒂芬金招牌叱吒影壇已達三十年迄今未衰,深遠影響力讓他恐怖大師的稱號可謂實至名歸。
《1408》的情節描寫一個鐵齒不信鬼神,卻以到處探訪民間鬼屋、記載聳動過程作維生題材的作家,住進了號稱沒有人能活著出來的海豚飯店1408號房,看似平凡無奇的又一個鬧鬼套房之夜,將挑戰他對人間煉獄的承受能力…。
這個宛若21世紀版本《鬼店》的故事架構,其實原本並不能太引起筆者的好奇。終究史蒂芬金挑戰心靈恐懼的文字功力固然了得,但成功搬上銀幕的電影佳作屈指可數,在重口味和電腦特效當家的好萊塢恐怖片框架內,史蒂芬金原作內細膩的角色心理描寫、對環境驚悚氛圍的塑造、以及特有流暢的節奏與黑色幽默.... |

《吮指少年》 Thumbsucker |
Dr. Perry Lyman: Are you ready to let go of your thumb?
Justin Cobb: Why are you talking like that?
Dr. Perry Lyman: Answer my question.
Justin Cobb: What are you gonna do?
Dr. Perry Lyman: I want to try hypnosis.
Justin Cobb: No way.
Dr. Perry Lyman: Really. I really have seen wonders. Just try and relax…
Imagine you're deep in the forest. Call on your power animal.
Justin Cobb: Come here!
Dr. Perry Lyman: [pause] Do it in your mind.

Dr. Perry Lyman: I stopped trying to be anything. I accepted myself in all my human disorder. You might wanna do the same.

Dr. Perry Lyman: That's 'cause we all wanna be problemless. To fix ourselves. We look for some magic solution to make us all better, but none of us really know what we're doing. And why is that so bad? That's all we humans can do. Guess. Try. Hope. But, Justin, just pray you don't fool yourself into thinking you've got the answer. Because that's bullshit. The trick is living without an answer. I think.
