Review of 1408 (2007) by Baurushan J — 19 Oct 2012
The story is about a writer named Mike Enslin played by John Cusack renowned for debunking his infamous paranormal events is confronted by a force that he cannot explain upon checking into room 1408 of the notoriously haunted Dolphin Hotel.
Mike is an author who specializes in horror but only believes in what he can see with his eyes and touch with his hands. Having constructed an entire career on his ability to dispel superstitious "haunted house" rumors, Mike is convinced that the afterlife is a manmade construct designed to offer false comfort to the weak minded.
Mike's latest project is a book entitled "Ten Nights in Haunted Hotel Rooms," but when he finally reaches room 1408, things go out of control for him even when the Dolphin Hotel manager Gerald Olin played by Samuel L.
Jackson warns him not to enter the room. If he can simply survive until sunrise, soon Mike may have a best-seller on his hands when he's faced with undeniable proof of an afterlife. 1408 is a uniquely "bone-chilling" horror movie even though it follows most of the same elements you see in a Stephen King movie.
1408 gets a perfect 10/10.
