1408 is a fictional 2007 film based on the Stephen King short story of the same name directed by Swedish film director Mikael Håfström. The cast includes John Cusack, Samuel L. Jackson, and Mary McCormack. The film was released in the US on June 22, 2007 although July 13th is mentioned as the release date in the trailer posted on the website. The film has been rated PG-13 in the USA for thematic material including disturbing sequences of violence and terror, and frightening images.
The film follows Mike Enslin (Cusack), an unpopular author who specializes in the horror genre. Enslin's career is widely based on investigating alleged haunted houses, although his continuously unsuccessful searches have left him bored and pessimistic. Enslin eventually learns of the Dolphin Hotel in New York City, which houses the infamous "Room 1408." Interested, Enslin decides to spend one night in the hotel and is surprised by the supernatural behavior occuring within the room.

The film was a critical and financial success, proving to be one of the most profitable films of 2007 and inspiring interest in the adaptation of other stories written by King.
