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.

This movie is an irreverent look at family, love and mortality as seen through the lens of one of modern life’s most bewildering and challenging experiences: when adult siblings find themselves plucked from their everyday, self-centred lives to care for an estranged elderly parent.
