How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A skeptic locks himself into a hotel room with supernatural malice, watching his certainties crumble as the space becomes a prison of mounting horror and psychological torment. It's as much about a man confronting his own unhealed wounds as it is about the haunting itself.

I rewatched this because I mixed it up with Identity. I thought I was rewatching Identity, but it was 1408, and here we are.

I like John Cusack, and everybody likes Samuel L. Jackson, so I don't hold this against them. It just feels cheesy. It seems older than 2007, which I understand was almost 20 years ago, but other 2007 movies didn't age as poorly.

There are four endings to this, depending on where/how you watch it, and that is confusing.
