  • Starring: John Cusack, Mary McCormack, Samuel L. Jackson
  • Summary: 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 imminent, but like all Stephen King heroes, Enslin must go from skeptic to true believer - and ultimately survive the night. (MGM)… Expand

    Swedish director Mikael Hafstrom creates a compelling ride of a movie. Every beat of the film is weighted with significance, and our mounting dread becomes almost intolerable.

    The movie appeals to an old-fashioned sense of horror.

    1408 isn't great cinema, but does an adequate job in spite of its flaws.

    1408 was a great movie, but not what I would have imagined. John Cussack was great. I came into the movie expecting to be scarred and left a little disappointed. Although the film was creepy I felt it lacked something. The movie was definitely worth a watch and if it can be found at a reasonable price owning.… Expand

    Not remotely thrilling, scary or entertaining. Its an hour and a half of your life that you could have spent reading the book or getting spooked by that creepy neighbor kid who always has a booger to spare. Cusak is totally unbelievable and Jackson serves no purpose at all this movie. Don't waste your time on this one. Do the dishes!… Expand
