BAFTA®–nominated John Cusack (High Fidelity, Being John Malkovich) leads as author Mike Enslin in this psychological thriller - a non-believer in the supernatural who decides to put his personal belief to the test by taking on a new project which soon makes him realise that there is such a thing as life after death.

When Enslin (Cusack), a sceptical horror novelist receives a postcard provoking him to spend one night at the notorious room 1408 of the Dolphin Hotel, he ignores the grave warnings of hotel manager Samuel L Jackson (Pulp Fiction) with terrifying consequences.
