1408 – Director's Cut

The Dolphin Hotel invites you to stay in any of its stunning rooms. Except one.

Based on the short story by Stephen King, 1408 tells of renowned horror novelist Mike Enslin (John Cusack) who only believes what he can see with his own eyes. After a string of bestsellers discrediting paranormal events in the most infamous haunted houses and graveyards around the world, he scoffs at the concept of an afterlife. 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 all Stephen King heroes, Enslin must go from sceptic to true believer – and, ultimately, survive the night.

Critic Reviews:

• " Using the talents of John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson, Håfström makes a creepshow out of King's short story, doing justice to it completely. " – C.H. Newell

• " A sharp and well paced horror film with heavy overtones of grief, anguish, and horrors of the real world that we sometimes unfortunately can never conquer. " – Felix Vasquez Jr.

• " Definitely one of the best King adaptations in years … and I've seen 'em all. " – Scott Weinberg
