A haunted hotel room, psychological torment, and John Cusack vs. a really bad night’s sleep—1408 (2007) takes us on a mind-bending horror trip, but does it still hold up? In this episode, we check into room 1408 and break down our favorite moments, the eerie visuals, and whether Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson’s performances still bring the chills.
