The male protagonist is a horror novel writer, who often goes to various places with horror legends to experience it for himself, and then writes a book. One day when surfing at the beach, he accidentally fell into the water, was washed ashore and fell into a coma for a while and woke up. Then he went to the nearby post office to pick up the mail. One of the postcards warned him not to enter room 1408 of the Dolphin Hotel in New York. So the male protagonist came to the hotel and asked to stay in room 1408. The hotel manager dissuaded him and showed him the death photos and texts of those who died in this room before, hoping that he would give up, but the male protagonist still Insist on staying in this room. After moving into room 1408, the male protagonist began to experience a series of weird and terrifying phenomena, and he also saw his dead daughter and his father in a nursing home in hallucinations. At the same time, a radio at the bedside that displays the time automatically plays a song and starts a sixty-minute countdown after the horror phenomenon occurs. In an unusually terrifying and thrilling situation, the male protagonist thought of using his laptop to surf the Internet wirelessly, making a video call with his wife who had broken up, and asking his wife to call the police, and then the computer was affected and shut down. After going through a lot of terrifying situations, the computer suddenly recovered, and she talked to his wife again, but the devil turned into his video image and tricked his wife into coming here, but he couldn't stop it. Then the water sprayed from a painting drowned the male protagonist. When he woke up, he found himself lying on the beach like last time, then passed out again, and woke up again to find himself lying in the hospital, his wife by your side. He thought that what he had just experienced was a dream when he was in a coma, so he reconciled with his wife and went to the nursing home to visit his father. Then he wrote these experiences into a book, and sent the manuscript to the newspaper at the nearby post office. After arriving at the post office, the staff suddenly started to smash the post office. After some chaos, the male protagonist found that he was still in room 1408, which had changed beyond recognition. At this time, his dead daughter appeared. After he hugged her, suddenly her daughter became Charred bones. After the male protagonist struggled for a while, the radio showing the countdown showed that sixty minutes had come, and then everything in the room returned to its original state. At this time, the male protagonist received a customer service call, telling him that he could choose another hour or a quick check-out, but this so-called fast check-out actually made the male protagonist hang himself and told him that his wife would come soon. here. So the male protagonist lit a raging fire in the room, burned down this evil room, and was burned to death in this room. The hotel manager found the tape recorder left by the actor and returned it to the actor's wife, who didn't want it. When the manager played the recording in his car, he heard the voice of the hero's daughter talking in it, and then in the rearview mirror, he found that there was a burnt on the back of the car. A rotten person appeared, and after a closer look, there was no more. In the end, the hero's soul appears in the burned room 1408, and then leaves again with the call of his daughter. The devil in the room in the film, in addition to terrifying hallucinations, also likes to conjure up the sad and regretful things in people's hearts, and then summon the souls of some dead relatives, so that people can choose and die in terror and despair. relatives together. But since the devil has such a great ability, it should also know that as soon as the male protagonist moves in, it is time to perish. Therefore, the threat and prophecy on the wall that he will be burned to death should not only be given to the male protagonist. Look, it is also the last words left by the devil to himself. In addition, the customer service call in the film said to respect the free will of the guests, but it turned out that the guests could only choose one of continuing the horror experience and suicide. This is also a kind of satire on the so-called free will. It seems that people tend to think they have free will, when in fact they are just choosing one of the devil's sure-lose options. Although this film is a commercial film, it is also expressing a religious view to people, just like what the hotel manager who appeared in the hero's hallucination said: "Why do people believe in ghosts? Because it is only after death. Hope." But what is hope after death? Is it the religious rhetoric or hype or vain rhetoric? Overall, this movie has a good storyline and level of horror, and the special effects are also well done. It is a horror movie worth watching. "Why do people believe in ghosts?
