After that, he went to the post office to fetch letters as usual. Among the many letters, a postcard was attracted all at once. His eyeballs, it was a photo of the Dolphin Hotel, with only one sentence written on it: "Don't stay in room 1408". This aroused Mike's interest. There is a story in this hotel, and I thought about 1408 if it adds up to 13. ? Very weird room.
Mike called the Dolphin Hotel to book room 1408 and was refused. He went to the library to check the news about Dolphin Hotel 1408 and found that there were many suicides in this room. This is a weird room. His interest rose to the apex. He asked a friend to consult with a lawyer how to move in to 1408. The friend told him: As long as he wants to move in, the hotel cannot refuse him.
Mike came to the Dolphin Hotel in New York and told the staff at the front desk that he was going to stay in room 1408. The staff found Mike's name on the computer. Tip: notify the manager immediately. Manager Old Hei personally received Mike and led him to his office to discourage him. Mike does not want to stay in room 1408, he can also provide him with a lot of high-level services for free, but Mike disagrees, the old black tells Mike that many people died in this room 1408, and the death method is also strange, and the death is not only the media reported 34 People, but including 56 people who died naturally. No one can live for an hour in 1408. Mike hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he was still stubborn to stay in room 1408. Old Hei had no choice but to let him Checking in, he also gave Mike the information on the dead person in room 1408.
Mike stayed in room 1408 as he wished. He looked around in the room and found no suspicious places. He was extremely bored and tore off the toilet paper to wipe sweat on his forehead, knocked on the broken air controller, and took out the appetizer beans from the food cabinet. Drinking the wine that came from Lao Hei, he turned on the tape recorder to record the furnishings of the room, and then opened the window to observe the street conditions. Suddenly, the sound of music rang out from the room, which shocked Mike. He turned his head and saw that the bedside was out of thin air. Two pieces of chocolate appeared. Mike still didn't believe in ghosts. He even mocked that it was the old black. He picked up the chocolate on the bed and ate it. Then, leisurely looking for the hiding person, he saw that he had torn it before. His toilet paper was sorted out again. Mike ran around the room looking for people who were hiding. He didn't find it. He felt getting hotter and hotter. He called customer service and asked them to fix it.
While waiting for the repairman to come, Mike used the equipment he brought to detect the traces of the house, and was in a daze at the oil painting on the wall. At this time, the repairman came, but the repairman was unwilling to come into the house. The air conditioner was repaired, and Mike ran away. Mike lay back on the bed and drank a little wine. Suddenly, the music rang again and the time counted down one hour. Mike was a little panicked, but he still cheered himself up. He came Observing outside the window, suddenly, he felt that someone hit him. He turned his head, but his hand was hurt by the falling window.
Mike came to the bathroom angrily, trying to clean the wound on his hand, turned on the faucet but the boiling hot water was released, which made Mike very angry. This is the room phone rang, and the phone said some services that Mike did not call. , And did not communicate with Mike any more, just like mechanically speaking fixed words, Mike surrendered to the caller, but there was no response.
Mike took his luggage and prepared to leave, but the door couldn't be opened, and the key was swallowed. Mike took out the dagger to pick the lock, pulled the doorknob hard, and the handle was pulled off by him. Mike ran to the window, He shouted for help from outside. He saw someone sitting in the opposite window, shouting desperately, but there was no response. Moreover, he found that the person on the other side was learning his actions. Whatever he did, the person on the other side would do what he did.In action, Mike’s lamp illuminates his face, and the person opposite also illuminates his face. Mike saw that this person had the same face as himself, and found that someone behind him was going to kill him. Mike suddenly turned his head, and the one behind was ugly. The man took a knife at him. Mike fell to the ground in fright. The man disappeared. Mike picked up the lamp and threw it downstairs to ask for help, but the lamp disappeared halfway in the air.
Mike has a nervous breakdown, but he still doesn't believe in ghosts. He feels that he has been calculated by the old black and drugged him, making himself in a trance. This is a video of him, his wife, and his daughter's family on the TV. The video stopped. He turned around and saw the suicide scene of a suicide in this room. He heard the cry of the baby next door. He knocked on the wall and asked for help from the opposite side, but there was no response. His tinnitus was severe and he took it. Lifting up the chair on the ground, thinking about the wall, he regained his hearing. He went to the bathroom and saw his father in a wheelchair. He was talking to his father, but his father was only looking at him, but in another shot, he was the only one. The man knelt beside the bathtub.
He thought that he could climb from the window to another room and ask for help, but when he climbed out of the room, he saw that there were only walls and windows, so he had to climb back. At this time, a person who had committed suicide appeared and scared him. Almost falling downstairs, he crawled back to the room desperately, and when he returned to the room, his daughter's voice rang in his ears.
Mike thought of another way to call for help. He used his laptop to connect to the Internet, like his wife calling for help. He told his wife that he was in the Dolphin Hotel and asked his wife to call the police and let him go out. However, his wife didn’t believe it very much. When she explained, the fire sprinkler in the room was turned on and the computer was broken. Mike broke the fire sprinkler. He saw the vent. He climbed up the vent and fled, but he saw himself one by one. In the previous scenes of life, there were quarrels with his wife and father, and a zombie man appeared in the vent, which scared him to crawl back into the room.
Mike crawled back to the room and wanted to drink a drink to quench his thirst. He opened the refrigerator and saw the old black. The old black asked him why he didn't believe in ghosts and why he wanted to ruin people's hope. Mike sat on the floor drinking alcohol and recalled that his daughter had cancer. His wife He told his daughter that she could go to heaven after death, but Mike didn't want to listen. He wanted to seek treatment for his daughter. He didn't want his wife to tell his daughter about the afterlife, so he argued with his wife.
Mike felt like he was in the North Pole. The cold was not good. There was a fire on the ground and he was covered with a thick blanket. This is the voice of his wife again from the notebook. It turns out that his wife is still online. The wife told Mike that the police were not at Dolphin 1408 The room found him. His wife wanted to come to him personally. Mike wanted to stop his wife, but an evil Mike appeared on the computer and asked his wife to come. The computer was broken. The
room began to collapse, and there were a lot of people around the walls. Mike fainted in the water. When he woke up, he was in the hospital and his wife appeared beside him. He asked his wife if he was still in New York. His wife told him that he was in Los Angeles. He discovered that he had never been to the New York Dolphin Hotel 1408, and there was no news about 1408. He and his wife reconciled, visited his father, and wrote a novel to be delivered to the publishing house. When he came to the post office again, The people around began to smash the wall desperately, and the scene gradually turned into 1408.
Mike returned to 1408 where there was a fire. He saw his daughter, who died in his arms again and turned into ashes. He was angry and began to smash things and fainted. After waking up, he found that he was still at 1408. All the furnishings are the same as before check-in. The time counts down from one hour, the phone rang, and the customer service questioned whether he needed to check out, his wife would come to him.
Mike decided to destroy this place, using wine as fuel, set a fire in the room, the room started a big fire, the hotel guests ran out of the building, his wife also took a taxi to the hotel downstairs, the fire melted 1408 House number.
Mike died. His wife held a funeral for him. The old black wanted to give the tape recorder left by Mike to his wife, but the wife did not accept it. The old black turned on the tape recorder and heard the conversation between Mike and his daughter. The old black was frightened and watched vaguely. When we arrived, Mike and her daughter walked away.
Finally, Mike appeared in 1408, holding his daughter in hand. There are a lot of doubts about the movie
. Did Mike really meet a ghost? Did the old black post a postcard to Mike? Why did Mike burn 1408? Why does the tape recorder have a daughter's voice?
I saw on the Internet and said that this movie has two endings. In the other ending, Mike did not die. ThisIt was a version edited by the director himself. It feels a bit montage. I found a suspicious point: 1408 after Mike returned to 1408 from the post office.
