1408

1408 is a 2007 psychological horror film directed by Mikael Håfström and stars both John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson, based on the Stephen King short story of the same name.

Mike Enslin (John Cusack) is a successful author who enjoys worldwide acclaim debunking supernatural phenomena -- before he checks into the Dolphin Hotel, that is. Ignoring the warnings of the hotel manager (Samuel L. Jackson), he learns the meaning of real terror when he spends the night in a reputedly haunted room.
