The violence is not too strong but has some gore, lots of injuries, suicides, a man freaks out and goes insane and many frightening events to follow. That's when the horror begins and he fights for his life to get out of room 1408 for good. He forces his way in even though he is warned to stay away, but a story that good for his readers is something he can't pass up. But there's one place he hasn't discovered yet, and that is room 1408 at a hotel where countless amounts of people have died mysteriously. About a man who is hungry for adventure and wants more out of what he does for a living, writes transcripts about haunted places he's been to. It's creepy, sad and more on the psychological thriller side. I don't know anyone who doesn't like this movie, it was recommended a few times by reviewers online and off, I ended up really enjoying it. Maybe for me there's a lack of information about how and why this room became such. But anyway it is appropriate and atmosphere. In my opinion, the tired movie tropes that probably shouldn’t have been there are: locked murderous room, and everyone said to the protagonist 'Don't go there' (it was useless of course). And I like the choise of actors for this movie, and their acting, of course.

The film is sad, the main character's past was shown to spectator step by step. There are some philosophical ideas about our loved once, missed targets, beliefs and broken hopes. I like that in 1408 there are no violent or disgusting gory scenes, the man only gets his hand caught by the window. Old tricks such as a haunted room with blood oozing from walls and defective taps and doors are really creepy here (but the zombie is not). And at the same time the movie is not too complicated for perception.

After watching the feeling of unsolved conundrum remains. What's interesting, our opinion about the reality of the events is changing a few times during the film, and I can't be sure that the final impression is right.
