1408

4 1/2 out of 5 stars.

A movie starring John Cusack based on a Stephen King short story. Cusack's character, Mike Enslin, is a 'ghost hunter' and writes books on different haunted places such as mansions and hotels. He gets a postcard from The Dolphin Hotel in NY and it says don't go in room 1408. Of course after never finding any hint of paranormal activity Mike goes to the hotel and after the hotel manager gives him stern warnings he still decides to stay over night. The manager tells him there has been 56 deaths in room 1408 and shows him the pictures of the deaths. This is when the nightmare begins. With a great twist 1408 is a tense thriller that delivered with very little gore.
