I love horror flicks and haven't seen one this good in a few years.

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2007)

Walking out of the theater I tried to think of the last horror flicks that I have thought was as good as this. Ghost Ship and 13 Ghost were the last ones to come to my mind. Being a Cusack fans makes this one even better. John Cusack holds the evolutionist's beliefs in ghosts and God and goes around writing books like "The 10 Most Haunted Motels". Most hotels "claiming" to be haunted send him invitations begging him to revue their hauntedness on his scale of 1 to 10 skulls then see their bookings increase by something like 80%. He receives an anonymous postcard in his own hand writing (creative) not to stay in room 1408 in the Dolphin hotel. He tries to book room 1408 and the hotel wishes him not to stay there and have no interest in anything he does because they keep a 90% booking and never let anyone stay in that room. If a room in a hotel is available, by law, a hotel has to give it up to a paying customer when it is requested. He gets his way and more.
