 Tagline: The only demons in room 1408 are those within you.
Adapted from the terrifying short story by suspense master, Stephen King. Renowned horror novelist Mike Enslin (John Cusack) believes only in what he can see with his own two eyes. But after a string of bestsellers discrediting paranormal events in the most infamous haunted houses and graveyards around the world, he has no real proof of life...afterlife.
But 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 (Samuel L. Jackson), the author is the first person in years to stay in the reputedly haunted room. Another bestseller may be imminent, but like many Stephen King heroes, first he must go from skeptic to true believer – and confront his demons to survive the night.
Well regarded—and Oscar-nominated—for films in his native country, Swedish writer/director Mikael Håfström gained the attention of American audiences and critics alike with the lurid 2005 thriller “Derailed,” starring Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston as adulterous business executives. His latest effort, an adaptation of Stephen King’s chilling short story “1408,” takes Håfström into a completely different world, one created by the undisputed master of horror.
