Spoilers ahead
The film 1408 begins with a torrential downpour along a deserted road, where we see a car making its way to a local lodge. The vehicle halts, and its occupant, Mike Enslin, dashes into the building, drenched to the bone. He engages in conversation with the elderly couple managing the lodge, who reveal they were anticipating his arrival. Through their dialogue, we learn that Mike is a writer who crafts cheesy horror tour guidebooks. His modus operandi involves visiting purportedly haunted locations and documenting his findings.
