1408

1408 is a horror film about a man who checks into a haunted hotel room. 1408 is based on a short story written by Stephen King also titled 1408. The title of the movie refers to the number of the hotel room.

Horror novelist Mike Enslin, played by John Cusack, checked into a supposedly haunted hotel room to work on his newest project "Ten Nights in Haunted Hotel Rooms". Enslin was the first person to stay in room 1408 in years. Enslin begins to see and hear things and begins trying to escape the room.

"It's a pleasure to be able to recommend 1408, the Dimension Pictures adaptation of my story," said King. "It stars John Cusack and opens this Friday. This is a genuinely disquieting movie--the damn thing gets under your skin and just CRAWLS there. For one thing, what could be more terrifying than a man haunted by The Carpenters' "We've Only Just Begun?" I doubt if you'll hear much screaming in the theater (I could be wrong about that), but a lot of people are going to be sleeping with the lights on when it's over." — Stephen King
