You mean there are alternate endings for the film?!

In the one I saw he first thought he was out then when he realised he wasn't he set fire to the room. It ends with him sat at his desk playing his daughters voice on the dictaphone

Yeah there is an alternate ending.... I got that one instead of the one you got!
 
Can't remember which ending I got, let me check which ones there are ...

Director Mikael Håfström has stated that the ending for 1408 was reshot because test audiences felt that the original ending was too much of a "downer".[2] The original ending, available exclusively on the Director's Cut edition, sees the backdraft engulfing the room as Enslin hides under the coffee table, happy to see the room destroyed as he dies. Olin later approaches Lily and Enslin's agent at his funeral, where he unsuccessfully attempts to give back a box of Enslin's possessions, telling her, relieved, that Enslin did not die in vain. Olin listens to the recording in his car, hearing Katie's voice on the tape; he jumps in surprise as he catches a quick glimpse of the now horribly burnt Enslin in his rear view mirror. Enslin now bears resemblance to a ghostly man that appeared in several other scenes, including the window/mirror scene and in the painting of the schooner. The scene then changes to an outside view of the gutted 1408, with an apparition of Enslin disappearing after being called away by the voice of his daughter and the sound of a closing door.

That one :)

Bloody hell that is a bleak ending.

I prefer the simple but effective ending that I saw :DD
 
I did wonder if he would live or die, glad they covered both options in the DVD

But there are 2 options as to what goes on, I originally spoilered it as I only htought there was one ending. Now its a surprise as to which one people see
 
Tim7 said:
Well from what you've posted in one he lives and in t'other he dies.

But you won't know right til the end of the film. There were only going to be 2 options as to what happened anyway
 
Pineapple Express - 9.0
A very good film, I thought the music blended in with the movie very smoothly. Seth Rogen is a great actor as well, I hope to see more of his works in the future.

Zack and Miri make a Porno - 7.5
Wasn't a terrible film, some funny parts but overall I didn't really laugh a lot.

Watched them both a while ago, but just remembered now!
 
Watched The Alphabet Killer last night, not bad, 7/10 obviously made on a fairly low budget but still entertaining, Eliza Dushku was pretty good in it, got to see her puppies ;)
 
Thats very true but the film is good too, its the only Rom-Com I've enjoyed since How to Lose A Guy in Ten Days.

I have not seen that one, TBH it makes more sense...
 
Run Fat Boy, Run - 7/10

Pretty predictable story but decent enough with a few laugh out loud moments, the one that got me was the blister scene :LOL::SICK:
