But the painting was not just any ordinary work of art, for it was said to be cursed. The story went that a mad artist had painted the portrait, capturing the soul of a vengeful spirit within its brushstrokes. And those who looked upon the painting were said to be plagued by terrible nightmares, haunted by the ghostly figure that loomed from the canvas.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of '1408' (2007)
I'm actually pretty impressed with what they do in this movie with such a simple concept. The whole movie is just a room with a spoooooooky story. That's it. But this movie does more with that than most haunted house movies do with a twenty minute exposition on the haunted house's origins. They do give you a little bit, just enough, explaining that dozens of people have died in room 1408, but that's it. The rest of the movie is just the room torturing the shit out of Cusak's character Mike Enslin. That's it. No real motivation, no "bad ghost," as Samuel L. Jackson puts it, it's just an evil fucking room. It doesn't really exist for a reason, it doesn't really have a motivation, it just wants to torture the inhabitance. Sure, there is a sort of motivation explained later, but that's more about how Mike ended up in the room and less about the room itself. And holey shit, this room is fucking deranged.
