Rotten Tomatoes Synopsis

“Mike Enslin (John Cusack) is a successful author who enjoys worldwide acclaim debunking supernatural phenomena — before he checks into the Dolphin Hotel, that is. Ignoring the warnings of the hotel manager (Samuel L. Jackson), he learns the meaning of real terror when he spends the night in a reputedly haunted room.”

See what Twitter is saying

It’s been years since I last saw it, but “1408” is still scary and amazing. John Cusack acts his ass off, and even though he’s in it very briefly, Samuel L Jackson leaves a hell of an impression. Give this one a watch if you haven’t seen it, or just haven’t seen it in a while. pic.twitter.com/iLFXCVLouT

Watching 1408 and Samuel L Jackson has an incredible ability to go from sinister to welcoming in a split second that not many have.

When there’s talk of scary movies, I can’t believe I never see anyone mention “Room 1408.” It’s a really scary, underrated movie starring Samuel L. Jackson, John Cusack and Mary McCormack. It has a creepy twist ending too.
