Here is another masterpiece from Mr. Steven King. 1408 stars John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson. Cusack Plays Mike Enslin, a novelist that loses his daughter from a tragic illness. He loses all faith and begins researching so called "haunted" places and writes about them. He receives a mysterious post card warning him about this fabled room 1408 in the Dolphin Hotel in New York.
After trying and succeeding to gain access to this room which was no longer being rented by the hotel. He meets Mr. Olin, the Dolphin hotel manager (played by Jackson). He tries to keep him from entering this room that Mr. Olin calls "An Evil f-ing room". As a last resort, Olin gives Enslin a diary of sorts that chronicles a 95 year accounting of the 56 deaths of which occurred in room 1408.
This room is actually on the 13th floor which was labeled "14" by the superstitious builders. The room numbers 1 4 0 8 total 13, could this be the reason for the roller coaster ride of insanity, sorrow and terror that Enslin must face in the 60 minutes that he is in this room.
If you like King movies, this is a must see. In the words of Mike Enslin (Cusacks character) " I give 1408 10 skulls"

Thanks for the review, Gina. 1408 sounds like a creepy movie, which means that I will probably never work up the courage to see it. ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png)
