the film is about a writer who writes books about haunted places. he is writing a book about haunted hotels and finds out about a hotel room in New York in the Dolphin hotel by an anonymous letter saying "don't stay in 1408".
he does his research and finds out that the room is evil and every single person who has stayed in the room has commited suiside or died. so, fearlessly he persuades the extremally reluctant hotel manager for him to spend a night in the room. at first he is fine but wierd things start to happen. the clock changes, windows open and he see's ghosts of the people who have died. he then trips out really badly and starts to see things including things about his terrifying past and that. it all get a bit over the top from this point and gets a bit confusing and finally ends on a cliff hanger that i didn't understand...
anyway, there werre elements of a phychological thriller film in it. it was all to do with the main character's mental conflict with the hotel room. however there were also elements ofthe horror genre in the film as it was full of fear and it included a central villian, the room itself.
thriller or horror
?
