This psychological horror movie from 2007 features one of our favorite actors and is currently streaming for free. Very few actors have the resume and stage presence of Samuel L. Jackson. This is why fans of 1408 cite his performance as one of the top reasons they love this Stephen King gem. 

Rotten Tomatoes Synopsis

“Mike Enslin (John Cusack) is a successful author who enjoys worldwide acclaim debunking supernatural phenomena — before he checks into the Dolphin Hotel, that is. Ignoring the warnings of the hotel manager (Samuel L. Jackson), he learns the meaning of real terror when he spends the night in a reputedly haunted room.”
