1408

1408 (2007)
Dir: Mikael Håfström

A writer known for debunking supernatural phenomena investigates a notorious haunted hotel room in New York City.
Enjoyable horror film that takes an often told idea and manages to make it fresh and original. The director gets the most out of a simple setting and Cusack is as watchable as ever. It's a well made ghost story with a strong concept and some cleverly used effects.
