A writer of horror books decides to rest during one night in the so-called 1408 room of a hotel of New York. There, he passes a terrific night that makes him to remember and live again his worst moments of the past.
The movie is cloaked in mystery thanks to the darkness and also the sounds. The presence of the offscreen is important during all the movie, more important than the onscreen since the spectator is all the time wondering: what's going on? why? how? and so on. This helps other elements (like shadows, sounds, "flashbacks") to create this thriller. Moreover, it's important not to lose anything of the shots, since it can produce the lost of the entire movie. At the end, it is quite confusing and not clear, but for those who are fonds of thrillers with some aspects of horror movies, this is not a bad option.
