The movie focuses on Mike Enslin (John Cusack) as he search for the most scariest and most haunted places on earth, and a postcard invitation that tells him to stay in Dolphin Hotel but not in the room #1408. But due to his curiosity, Mike find a way just for Mr. Geral Oldin (Samuel L. Jackson) to give the key to the room despite of the warning that he gave him. Mike suceeded in getting the room's key and when he stayed in the room 1408, Mike find his self trapped in the room and haunted by his darkest fears.
I commend John Cusack for portraying his role very well and to Samuel L. Jackson for eventhough he has a limited appearance in the movie he really made a wonderful act.
But now as i talk generally about the wole movie, I dont like the scenes where there are ghost and then they look like a hologram pictures, and when they disappear there's this some kind of a techno sound which makes me ask "is that a ghost or a hologram?". and there are so many scenes thats edited, because in the story, Enslin's dilemma already started the moment he see's the door of the room for the door's room is crooked, but in the movie Enslin already spent some time in the room before the nightmare happens. A lot of editing that makes the story weak and more vague.
I think that the movie would be much better if they retain the original story, and use the appropriate special effects.
