1408 makes the best out of its limited hotel room setting, which begs an intriguing question: how much of it was filmed in real locations, and how much of it was artificially created on a soundstage? Based on a short story of the same name, 1408 ranks among some of the best adaptations of Stephen King's works. Although it never reached the mainstream success of other renowned King adaptations like The Shining and Carrie, it has garnered a cult following since its release.
