If a concierge tells you to stay out of a room, you want to see the room. If Samuel L. Jackson tells you to stay out of a room, you stay out of that damn room.

Mike: this room is fake Room 1408: aw shit here we go again
-
1408: im gonna make this mans so depressed he kills himself Mike: actually gets closure, the strength to move on and actually gets proof of the supernatural
-
I don't even consider this one a horror movie anymore. It's an epic story about a man's road to redemption and I cry everytime. The theatrical is for sure the better one.
-
I remember the first time I watched it, I saw the ending with him living and having the tape with Katie, but I went to go watch it when years later, I watched the second ending. Y'all, I thought I was tripping balls.

I AM TIRED OF THESE MOTHAFUCKING GHOSTS IN THIS MOTHAFUCKING ROOM
-
The interaction between Samuel L Jackson and John Cusack were the best moments in the film, I rewind to watch them multiple times. Two artists at the peak of their craft.
-
I liked when the room faxed him his daughters dress, showing that the room is both evil and good with technology
-
Mike : There are no ghosts 1408 : Am about to end this man's whole career
-
When the guy comes to fix the thermostat, I see that as the last chance Mike has to leave the room.
-
The theatrical ending is much better, it feels complete and he comes out as a better person instead of just burning to death without facing his issues head on.
-
Before Mike gets to the room, I believe the elevator door opening by itself resembles Mike’s last chance to leave before going into 1408.
-
That ending, when she hears the recording of Katies voice, confirming what Mike has been through. Thats some excellenct writing
-
agreed. mike surviving the room, with the proof he wanted, was truly the better ending.
-
Bringing his daughter back to have her die again in his arms and cremate her - then whiplash him with that song - that was the most brutal part of the movie for me. I watched this with my family and we had a child death and my parents couldn't handle that scene and we had to take time. The "You can't take her a second time" will always hit me really bad but I genuinely love this movie.
-
Multiple endings, playing with our heads. It's like the room is toying with us. Well played, 1408.

You missed a key aspect of this movie: Near the beginning as he looked out to the brick wall out the window, there was a tiny message on it, saying "Burn Me Alive." This is what prompts him to turn his whiskey into a Molotov cocktail. It's also why the manager congratulates him -- it's because he figured out what that specific clue meant.
-
John: I'll be checking into this room Samuel: I recognize that you have made this decision, but given that it's a stupid ass decision, I've elected to ignore it.
-
The best part of this movie imo was the blinded maid part: "She spent only a few moments alone and when we opened it she was..." "Dead?" He says sarcastly "No, blind... she gouged her own eyes with a scissor"

I saw this film in theaters when I was a junior in high school. I thought it was underwhelming. I saw the theatrical version obviously. But now seeing it again as an adult I like it more. When I watched a scene on YouTube the other day with the ending I was like “that’s not the ending I remember”. Glad you cleared that up. My personal favorite scene is when Olin hears the fire alarm and knows it’s Mike finally beating the room so he pours a drink and says “Well done Mr Enslin. Well done.”
