Take a twist of reality and make it supernatural...

I knew as soon as I heard the tag line for the 1408 Movie I was going to want to see it, "The Dolphin Hotel invites you to stay in any of its stunning rooms. Except one.." I do believe in the supernatural and I do love horror flicks, especially when they involve a killer combination of a place that is one I would want to visit, like the Dolphin Hotel, and a story line that conveys a chance that it could happen.

When you watch the trailer you get hints as to what the 1408 Movie is about, it is the story of Mike Enslin who after the death of his daughter becomes a specialist in the supernatural, though he doesn't believe he has ever found proof it exists he secretly wants to. That would mean for him that he might be able to see his daughter again. This adventure lures him to the Dolphin Hotel where the manager, Mr. Olin, played by Samuel L. Jackson tries to warn Enslin that he does not want to enter that room, explaining how many people have been said to have died in room 1408. Enslin does not listen and then is faced with the true horrors of the supernatural experience that happens to him in that room. The trailer does not provide the answer to the question that automatically comes to mind...Does Mike Enslin survive? For that you'll have to watch the film...or read the book...
