Samuel L. Jackson in a haunted hotel movie. Why not? Adapted from the short story by Stephen King, a renowned horror novelist Mike Enslin (John Cusack) believes only in what he can see with his own two eyes. But after a string of bestsellers discrediting paranormal events in the most infamous haunted houses and graveyards around the world, he has no real proof of life – or afterlife. Enslin’s phantom-free run of long and lonely nights, however, is about to change forever when he checks into suite 1408 of the notorious Dolphin Hotel for his latest project, “Ten Nights in Haunted Hotel Rooms.” Defying the warnings of the hotel manager (Samuel L. Jackson), the author is the first person in years to stay in the reputedly haunted room. Another bestseller may be imminent, but first he must go from skeptic to true believer – and ultimately survive the night.
Yahoo! Movies has your first look at the trailer here.
The trailer looks really good, but come on, you gotta remember that this is based on a Stephen King short story, and King can’t write horror endings to save his life. Remember “It?” “The Stand?” “The Dreamcatcher?” Basically King blows when it comes to horror endings. I mean, come the freak on — a killer clown transforms into some giant spider? WTF???
I just hope the ending for this one isn’t as crappy as all the other endings for Stephen King’s stories. But do check out the trailer, it doesn’t suck.
