A writer famous for debunking 'haunted house' stories, stays a night at The Dolphin Hotel in the infamous room 1408, the owner begs him not too, previous guests have taken their lives to 'escape' the horrors it apparently hides.
A superb psychological, claustrophobic horror, adapted from a short story by Stephen King and very similar in tone to the masterful 'The Shining'.The film relys on genuine scares and not buckets of blood or dopey American teens running away from rednecks, and is one of the finest mature horror films of recent years.
