Plot Writer Mike Enslin (Cusack) makes a living debunking ghost stories by staying in ‘haunted’ inns. When he gets a mysterious postcard warning of a New York hotel’s room 1408, he decides it’ll make for a great last chapter to his new book. Big mistake.Verdict Not up there with the best King adaptations, but a fun Gothic yarn that, like all good ghost stories, is simple and dripping with dread.
