This is not necessarily a good reflection on King himself, as his original short story on which the movie is 'based' accounts for probably less than 1/4 of the film. The rest is fleshed out by the screenwriters, and both they and the director do an admirable job maintaining an unsettling tone throughout. One might consider the source author and theme of the story and immediately think 1408 is a riff on or even a knock-off of King's The Shining, but it manages not to really raise the spectre of the previous work until the end.
