Question:
Can anyone explain the plot and ending of the movie 1408?
Answers:
PLOT:
Writer is bummed because his young daughter died. He fears that there's no afterlife and Heaven/Hell are just stories we tell our kids. He searches for proof of ghosts or other supernatural activity. He writes books about it. He gets a lead on a room at the Dolphin Hotel, Room 1408, and goes to spend the night. He finds his proof.
ENDING:
Mike gets out of the room by setting fire to it. The room has to let the firemen in to save Mike in order to save itself.
He really got out of the room. Once the fireman opened the door, the room lost it's power over Mike Enslin. The wife never got near the room! She was stuck in a taxi then, when she got there, the fire alarm had already gone off and everyone was being evacuated. She was outside the building, they weren't letting people in, and she looked up to see the windows blow out of the room because of the fire when the door was opened.
Mike got a grim smile when the tape recorder played because that proved it wasn't all in his head, that he hadn't been drunk or imagining things when he heard his daughter's voice. It proves something supernatural happened.
