During the stay, you ask, is it real, or is it all in his head?

Rating: 6/10 (20 June 2007)

I must say, I immensely enjoyed the movie and was quite surprised at John Cusack's performance. Although he is more of a comedy character, he was quite impressive playing an horror role. The movie did lack the punch but John kept it alive and kept me at the edge of my seat. The movie is about a guy alone in a hotel room with a bunch of lost souls playing with his mind. Mike's a confirmed disbeliever, a man who advises that Disney's the Haunted Mansion is the best place to see ghosts. He then receives a postcard bearing the message, "Don't enter 1408." After researching the hotel, he discovers that many killings occurred in room 1408 which drives him to fly to New York for a one night stay. The horror sequence commences soon after checking in.
