The Big Picture Nestled away amidst horror films of the past two decades, 1408 remains one of the most underrated horror films of all time. Adapted from a Stephen King story to the big screen by director Mikael Hafstrom, 1408 entails classic elements of thrill and terror that are made unique by the film's psychological twists and centered misc-en-scene.
Inside his office, Olin informs Enslin that there have been over 50 deaths in room 1408, both natural and unnatural, and that no one survives more than an hour in the room. Olin pleads with Enslin to stay in a different room and tries desperately to explain to him that 1408 isn't a gimmicky horror attraction like Enslin's other ghost locations have been and that the room is seriously dangerous.
What Makes '1408' Different From Other Ghost Stories? Close While 1408 may come across as one of many ghost stories set in a hotel or a normally unassuming location, it's because of that very reason that this film stands out.
This is a technique well known across King's work and a feature of his stories that makes them so enjoyable. There is a reason for everything, and even when the room seems like it's working chaotically, it actually reads like a well-written horror story.
