Swedish frightener Mikael Hafstrom (Derailed) directed this                psychological thriller based on a Stephen King short story, and it hammers       home a point the author initially put forth in The Shining: every old      hotel has a room you just should not go into. Let alone taunt it like John     Cusack in 1408, who plays Mike Enslin, a paranormal myth-buster taking   on an infamously haunted room in Samuel L. Jackson's Dolphin Hotel. The        chamber's history is verifiably blood-soaked, but ever since losing his          daughter, Mike has had demons to exorcize. Sadly, he might be too busy holding onto his sanity to make any real headway. "Directed...with old-fashioned       restraint and a stylish use of intense close-ups" (New York Times). With Mikael Hafstrom---USA---2007---94 mins.
