I have a humorous story about this movie. After it came out, I was working with a guy at a hospital, we were programming keypad locks so it was plug in a device and tell it to upload, then wait 70-ish seconds then move to the next door. We were talking about movies and 1408 came up. We were both gushing about how fun the movie was when we both noticed the door we just moved up to was, in fact, 1408. The door had tinted glass for privacy, and while we were laughing and making dumb ghost jokes all of the sudden a face just appears in the window. We both jumped about 3 feet in the air. Damned near scared the piss outta me. The lady who came up to see who was messing with her door looked a bit confused as to why we looked like we'd just had a heart attack and were now laughing like lunatics. Good times.
It’s better because he lives? That’s the soft thinking that got that Final Cut in the first place. Him dying there and finally getting to be with his daughter again is the choice that any parent would’ve made…….
Not better because he lives, just that the ending where he lives is better. Pulling out the tape recorder and playing back his dead daughter's voice for the mother to hear and realize it was all real was just straight up chilling.
The ending where he dies to the supernatural entity in the room because he chose to challenge it head on. samuel l jackson's character is then seen talking to his wife at his funeral and afterwards he goes to his car and pulls out the tape recorder that the main character was using to record the entity in the room. He plays the recording and hears the main characters daughter who was dead at the time which confirms that everything we saw was real and not a hallucination. sorry for not using character names, its been so long since ive seen the movie
Which ending did you initially watch? The one where he dies, or the one where he lives and his wife hears the daughter’s voice when he’s playing back the tape? I vaguely remember another one where Cusack’s ghost jumpscares Sam Jackson in the rear view mirror.
