A naturally creepy place

Rating: 7/10 (26 January 2014)

A professional debunker of the paranormal finds that he may have bit off more than he can chew as he attempts to demystify the very real terror that exists in the room fabled room 1408, in the Dolphin Hotel.
Based on a story by master of horror Stephen King, this film is a wonderful yarn. Excellent pacing and a suspense filled story that builds with a steady pace, that only get more and more intense as the film plays it course. Cusak does a masterful job of portraying the skeptical and detached Mike Enslin, the main protagonist of the film, who slowly become terrorized as the very real haunting intensifies around him The directing and cinematography are handled brilliantly. This film in my opinion goes on to be one of King's better adaptations and one in which its principal actors carry the supernatural premise of this film to its shocking conclusion. Though not the pinnacle in haunted house films its is one of the better entries in the genre.
