- *1408* is a 2007 American supernatural psychological horror film based on Stephen King's short story published in 1999. It was directed by Mikael Håfström, written by Matt Greenberg, Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, and stars John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson. It was released in the United States on June 22, 2007. John Cusack plays Mike Enslin, a writer who debunks paranormal phenomena, as he checks into the infamous room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel. Samuel L. Jackson plays hotel manager Gerald Olin, who tries to warn him away from that room. What makes *1408* so engaging is how small it feels — and how big it gets. Most of the film is just one man, in one room, with nowhere to go. Mike goes in as a skeptic, certain that every haunted place has a rational explanation. The room, though, does not play by those rules. It is a tense, claustrophobic Stephen King story about belief, grief, and what happens when a man who has made a career out of not believing is forced to face something he cannot explain away.
- A psychological horror that keeps you guessing to the very end, 1408 pulls you into a haunted hotel with seemingly no escape. The shots are engrossing and the score is purposely maddening as 1408 attempts to drive you insane right along with John Cusack. While it isn’t the strongest adaptation of Stephen King’s work 1408 will definitely satisfy King fans and horror fans alike.
- One of the most elaborate horror/thrillers I've watched for quite a long time. At first look, the premise of the film suggests that it is just another trite and cliche-drenched tale of a "haunted place"; but as the story unfolds, the essence of the film turns out to be a different. Having a plot somewhat reminiscent of some old Stephen King adaptations like "The Shining" and "Rose Red", "1408" has lots of twists and turns with more than enough depth and dimension, working both paranormal and psychological level. Today's horror/thrillers depend too much on graphic violence; where blood, gore, decapitations, and dismembered bodies galore. But here, the film's appeal comes from its effectiveness in creating a foreboding mood and claustrophobic feel of a Kafkaesque hotel room, capturing the essence of King's story very well. Not overly violent and with almost no blood and gore, the villain of the story is not a psychopathic killer, pervert, monster, specter or a mutant, it's the room itself. John Cushack does a good job by being the vainly struggling foe of this evil and mysterious room.

Il famoso scrittore di libri horror Mike Enslin (John Cusack) crede solo in ciò che può vedere con i propri occhi. Dopo una serie di bestseller che screditano gli eventi paranormali avvenuti nelle case infestate dai fantasmi e nei cimiteri più famosi del mondo, non ha nessuna prova concreta di una vita dopo la morte. La serie di lunghe notti solitarie senza fantasmi di Mike, tuttavia, è destinata a cambiare quando entra nella stanza 1408 del famigerato Dolphin Hotel per il suo ultimo progetto, “Dieci Notti nelle Camere d’Albergo Infestate dai Fantasmi.” Sfidando gli avvertimenti del direttore dell’albergo (Samuel L. Jackson), decide di pernottare – il primo dopo anni - proprio nella stanza che tutti considerano infestata, nella speranza che possa essere l’inizio di un nuovo bestseller. Come molti degli eroi di Stephen King, Mike dovrà affrontare i suoi demoni, passando da scettico a credente, prima di superare la notte...
