Bob Gets Freaked Out by the Film 1408
The new 1408 Movieis based upon a short story by novelist Steven King. The film is placed in New York City, with the Dolphin Hotel's notorious room 1408 the setting.
The film's main character is a horror novelist named Mike Enslin, and his work attacks the possibility of paranormal activity. He begins a project called "Ten Nights in Haunted Hotel Rooms," and he believes his work will expose as frauds the mysteries surrounding some paranormal sites.
Bob is a firm believer in the supernatural, having many personal experiences with events too creepy to be anything but paranormal. Yes, he has already discounted the voices that appear when he doesn't take his Thorazine, or the strange beings who suddenly appear when he is on a Stolichnaya bender.
We are talking real strange stuff here, like when Bob's ex-girlfriend morphed into this demonic, fire-breathing creature who nearly thrashed him within inches of his life. Oh wait, that was related to vodka consumption, too.
Anyways, Bob knows just what Mike Enslin must have been feeling, locked up in a haunted room with nothing but his wits and a Gideon's Bible to protect him from evil spirits. For those of you who would like to learn more about 1408, here is a trailer of the film:
