Based on a short story by Stephen King, "1408" really does have horror inscribed in its soul.
This was a scary film and it was the small and subtle moments that made you twist in your seat. Typical of a Stephen King adaptation, you never really knew when the main character was experiencing real-life or dream-like sensations but you were certainly sharing his ups and downs - mainly downs, I'm afraid! A moral of the story is not to be too big for your boots - the main character had an unfortunate level of arrogance that had come from his previous research of exploring haunted sites. He was literally brought back down to earth!

Renowned horror novelist Mike Enslin (Cusack) only believes what he can see with his own two eyes. After a string of bestsellers discrediting paranormal events in the most infamous haunted houses and graveyards around the world, he scoffs at the concept of an afterlife. Enslin's phantom-free run of long and lonely nights is about to change forever when he checks into suite 1408 of the notorious Dolphin Hotel for his latest project, "Ten Nights in Haunted Hotel Rooms." Defying the warnings of the hotel manager (Jackson), the author is the first person in years to stay in the reputedly haunted room. Another bestseller may be iminent, but like all Stephen King heroes, Enslin must go from skeptic to true believer - and ultimately survive the night. Actors John Cusack, Samuel L.
