Product Description

Product Description

A man who specializes in debunking paranormal occurrences checks into the fabled room 1408 in the Dolphin Hotel. Soon after settling in, he confronts genuine terror.

From Amazon.co.uk

Conclusive proof both that one man can power a horror film, and also that John Cusack is one of the most believable actors of his generation, 1408 is an entertaining and surprisingly effective Stephen King adaptation, albeit one that runs out of steam by the final reel.

The premise finds Cusack’s character as an author of paranormal books, even though he doesn’t believe in such things himself. However, when researching his latest work, he checks into the mysterious room 1408 at The Dolphin Hotel in New York, managed by Samuel L Jackson in an effective cameo. But room 1408 is a room where nobody has lasted more than an hour in it, and thus Cusack considers it the perfect location for some book research.

It’s in the build up of its premise where 1408 is very much at its strongest. Cusack is a compelling guide through the story, and the film delivers some effective chills and jumps as the tension ratchets up. Into the final act and this control is relaxed, and as a result some of the potential is wasted, but you’re still hard-pushed to feel short-changed as the credits role. For 1408 proves to be both an effective little horror film, and one of the best Stephen King adaptations in many, many years. --Simon Brew

4.0 out of 5 starsGood Horror/Scary movie
By David Marle on 27 Jan. 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is a good horror/scary movie...it starts very well with great potencial and unfortunatly doesn't end as well as it starts but that still doesn't ruin the movie. This box set seems to be the only way I could find of getting the movie with the original theatrical ending included and not just the alternate ending from the Director's Cut. For that alone the 2 DVD box is a must.

3.0 out of 5 starsGood attempt
By J. Rottweiller Swinburne on 28 Oct. 2011
Format: DVD
This is a film that starts out well - very well - but loses its way after a while. You can tell this because the film had alternate endings, always a sign that the studio can't make its mind up about where the story ought to go.

The plot, basically, has Mike Endlin (Cusack) playing a writer who writes books about supposedly haunted places, and who usually gives credence to the stories of hauntings, even though he doesn't believe in them himself. He receives written invitations to visit such sites from people, usually hotel owners, keen to improve their popularity via notoriety (and free publicity) in his books. One day he receives an anti-invitation, from a hotel telling him NOT to stay with them.
Intrigued, and convinced that this is a riff on the usual way of attracting his interest, he goes to the hotel and meets the manager, Gerald Olin (Samuel L. Jackson), who does everything in his power to stop Endlin staying there, specifically in room 1408, where no-one has survived for more than an hour. Cusack insists on staying there... you can imagine the rest...

Jackson plays with his usual funky gravitas (shame he's not used more than he is in this film, since he has some of the best screen-presence around) and shares the acting honours with Cusack, who does a superb job of transitting quickly from world-weary cynic to terrified pawn in some supernatural game. There are some genuinely jarring moments in the first half-hour or so which had me checking behind the sofa, and which promised to develop into something cinematically very special.
However, eventually the effects become rather gross, thus losing their power to enthrall and shock - in suspense films less really is more, especially where the supernatural is concerned.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsOne of the best King adaptions
By Dr Evil VINE VOICE on 25 Sept. 2007
Format: DVD
Based on one the short stories from Stephen King in his 2002 collection "Everything's Eventual", '1408' is about an author named Mike Enslin (played by John Cusack) who is writing the next book in his series called The 10 Most Haunted Hotels. Enslin is losing his belief in the supernatural though as he has never actually seen a ghost. Then one day he receives an anonymous postcard telling him not to stay in room 1408 at The Dolphin Hotel in New York.

After convicing the hotel manager (Samuel L. Jackson) to let him stay in 1408 and being warned that no one who has stayed in the room lasts longer than an hour, Enslin begins to see ghosts of the people that have been killed or died in the room and also experiences ghosts from his own past.

Everyone knows that King's film adaptions usually aren't that good, especially the ones from his short stories (with the exception of Stand by Me/The Body) but 1408 is actually a very creepy and well thought out film. Once Enslin gets into room 1408 things get very strange indeed and may be a little confusing at times, but all does make sense in the end.

Cusack does and excellent job in his role as Enslin and made me wonder what he was thinking about when acting out the part as he does seem genuinely terrified throughout the whole ordeal.

Overall this is a scary, weird and exciting supernatural thriller that both fans of Stephen King and the horror genre in general should enjoy. There's plenty of clever special effects and lots of scares and enough to keep you thinking from start to finish.

5.0 out of 5 starsSupernatural movie
By eric featley on 16 April 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Great movie with John Kusak, and also starring Samuel Jackson. John Kusak stays at a hotel to write a book about how he believes the haunted room there has a logical explination, when he starts changing his mind and seeing the room is indeed very haunted!

3.0 out of 5 stars1+4+0+8= 13. Room 1408 is in the 13th floor .Much spookiness is guaranteed surely?
By russell clarke VINE VOICE on 8 Mar. 2008
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I'm not a massive Stephen King fan .In fact I would go as far as to say he is hideously over-rated. Having said that there have been some excellent movie adaptations of his books and short stories. "The Shining", "Dead Zone" ,"Salems Lot" "Shawshank Redemption" spring readily to mind. 1408 is based on a short story and is not deserving to slot easily into the preceding list. What is frustrating is it could have if it had stayed within the story's simple premise rather than evolve into an overwrought special effects bonanza.
Mike Enslin (John Cusack) is a hack writer of supernatural travel books like "Ten Most Haunted Bed And Breakfasts" , Ten Most Haunted Public Toilets"( I made that one up) but in truth is cynical about the paranormal though he uses the catchphrase "Stay scared" at book signings , something that George A Romero ,a friend of Kings uses.. He receives an anonymous postcard that gives clues to the existence of the Dolphin hotel in New York which has a haunted room -room 1408. His interest piqued he tries to book the room only to be told it's not available.
His publisher Sam Farrell (Tony Shalhoub) gets his company's lawyer to look into this and he finds an obscure law that says if a hotel room is free then no paying customer can be denied access. Now this seems to me a convenient plot device to keep things moving forward so Enslin is soon arriving at The Dolphin where he engages in a fascinating exchange with the manager Mr Olin (Samuel L Jackson)Olin doesn't want Eslin to stay in the room at all and when pushed puts it in a very Samuel L Jackson type way :"Its an evil f***ing room".
Mr Olin is right .Once Enslin is happily settled in room 1408 things start going awry .Read more ›
