We watched this film during holidays, it was the ‘best’ we could get… Mike Enslin (John Cusack) is a writer about ghost phenomena. He visits places that are supposedly hunted and writes books about his experiences, doing financially well. When he tries to visit room 1408 of some hotel where Gerard Olin (Samuel L. Jackson) is manager, it takes some effort to get the room booked. Once there, Enslin experiences a poltergeist going crazy on him which (of course) is supposed to make a scary film. Instead, every ghost-film clichee is presented without much originality and overall the film is pretty dull.
