help 1408 FAQ
Is room 1408 in the movie part of a Sheraton hotel?
No, the story takes place in the fictional Dolphin Hotel in New York City. John Cusack plays skeptical author Mike Enslin, while Samuel L. Jackson plays hotel manager Gerald Olin.
How closely does 1408 follow Stephen King's original story?
The film keeps the central premise of a writer confronting a genuinely haunted hotel room but expands his family history and the room's psychological attacks. King's story appeared in the collection Everything's Eventual.
Why are there different endings to 1408?
The theatrical release and home-video editions circulated with alternate endings that change Mike Enslin's fate and the final supernatural evidence. Viewers can therefore remember materially different conclusions without either memory being mistaken.
Is 1408 connected to The Shining?
It is not a sequel or part of the same narrative continuity as The Shining. Both are Stephen King adaptations about haunted hotel spaces, but 1408 focuses almost entirely on one guest and one room.
