Trivia:
The initial story inspiration for 1408 came from a collection of real-life news stories about parapsychologist Christopher Chacon's investigation of a notoriously haunted room at the famous Hotel Del Coronado in Coronado, CA, as well as another undisclosed hotel on the East Coast. more
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: While Mike Enslin is lying on the floor, his hand goes in and out of the bed comforter repeatedly. However, as this happens with each change of shot and is a very obvious inconsistency, it's almost certainly deliberate and done for thematic effect. Especially as, moments later, he keeps changing between lying down and being propped up in between shots, apparently without moving. more
Quotes:
Mike Enslin: [after the toilet paper has been turned down, and the chocolates appear] Finally! Something to for me to write about! A ghost that offers turn down service! more

One of the better Stephen King Movies in a long time, 31 May 2007
9/10
Author: quint777 from United States

Here's why. Stephen King's psychological horror rarely ever shows its face on the screen the way it appears in his writing. This movie captures a lot of the mental torture that Stephen King writes so well (embodied in room 1408). I typically always see Cusack as playing himself in every movie he's in. Fortunately, this role appeals to that character. I would say see it and judge for yourself. I specifically enjoyed the background music and director's choice of camera angles. I also appreciated the mix of surprise horror and psychological. All too often, a horror film loads up too much on one side and it just doesn't work out well!
