Fun Stuff

Trivia:
John Cusack's second appearance in a Stephen King film adaptation. The first was Stand by Me (1986). more
Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: While Mike Enslin is lying on the floor, his hand goes in and out of the bed comforter repeatedly. However, as this happens with each change of shot and is a very obvious inconsistency, it's almost certainly deliberate and done for thematic effect. Especially as, moments later, he keeps changing between lying down and being propped up in between shots, apparently without moving. more
Quotes:
Mike Enslin: [after the toilet paper has been turned down, and the chocolates appear] Finally! Something to for me to write about! A ghost that offers turn down service! more

A truly great horror film, with outstanding performances by both Samuel L. Jackson and Cusack. Well worth your money and time. If you are a Stephen King fan, then you will love this movie. I also suggest that you pick up and read the short story Room 1408. The movie truly captures the essence of the story, and when watching it, you'll think "Wow... this is definitely a Stephen King movie."

The film is so convincing that I couldn't believe that King didn't write the screenplay himself. This is a wonderful way to spend a few hours; I'm definitely going to see this one again.

This film also breaks away from the (at least recent) standard of having a crummy, thrown together story with copious amounts of gore thrown in in place of plot. This movie has an excellent story that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.
