A big budget is usually a bad sign for a horror movie. Again using 1408 as an example - the movie opens slowly and builds nicely with some genuinely creepy moments. By the end I'm not sure if I'm still watching a movie about a haunted hotel room or if I've accidentally caught the end of Platoon. Everything they worked hard to build was destroyed.
