1408 (2007)


 

A man who specialises in debunking paranormal occurrences checks into the fabled room 1408 in the Dolphin Hotel. Soon after settling in, he confronts genuine terror. 

Above-average Stephen King adaptation delivers the scary goods with a good John Cusack performance, but after a genuinely doom-laden introduction slowly goes over the top and adds an ambiguous ending.

Maltin***: "Genuinely scary chiller, nicely paced with clever touches, brings new meaning to the Carpenters' song "We've Only Just Begun.""
