Now just to be clear, I'm not a fan of horror movies. Not because they scare me, but because usually, the definition of a horror movie is blood, gore, zombies, ghosts, monsters.
One day I for some reason came across a Wikipedia page about movies with timeloops. 1408 caught my eye. I read the synopsis and decided to give it a go.
Man oh man. Holy shit. What a brilliant movie. I mean, everything about it. A sarcastic ego-centric writer who doesn't believe in shit goes into a hotel room where all this crazy shit happens.
But, what scared me about it wasn't the dead zombie chasing him through the air ducts, or a masked dude trying to kill him. What scared me is when the window slams down on his hand and pulverizes it for no reason. Or when he sees a guy behind the window on the opposite of the street, who is clearly not a reflection, and a few seconds later it turns out to be a doppelganger. Or when tries to escape to the window of the next room, only to find out all windows had disappeared.
So I guess what scares me (or excites me) is that batshit insane shit that can't be explained. Mindfucks. The receptionist randomly calling about a sandwich he never ordered.
Anyway, this is kinda turning into a long post, but I just wanted to ask if anyone here has seen 1408 and knows some movies similar to it. No monster movies, no zombies, no vampires, no ghosts, just complete mindfucks and completely illogical thrills.
By the way, I've also seen the movie Triangle, and it comes pretty close to 1408 in terms of insanity. I thought that one was scarier though, and I still don't understand how the time loop worked. But anyway, that kinda thing.
