1408


  • Continuity: During the scene where Mike unplugs the clock radio from the outlet, the liquor bottle that he was given disappears from the table for a few shots, then eventually returns.

  • Continuity: While Mike Enslin is lying on the floor, his hand goes in and out of the bed comforter repeatedly.

  • Continuity: When Mike Enslin is on the ledge outside, the size of the ledge changes. When there is a shot of just his feet, he appears to only be able to fit half of his foot on the ledge at most, however when there are long shots which include Enslin’s feet, they are fully on the ledge and are given about an inch of space.

  • Continuity: When Lily Enslin gets into the cab, the medallion number changes from the outside shot of her entering the vehicle, to when she is shown on the inside.

  • Continuity: The amount of blood on the door from Mike's left hand changes between shots.


  • Continuity: Throughout the movie, the door to room 1408 changes between a right side hinged and a left side hinged door. This is first noticed when the "engineer" comes to the room to check the heat / ac thermostat. When Michael opens the door, the doorknob is on the right but when he goes to close it the door knob is on the left. Then in later shots it is back on the right.

  • Continuity: After being in the heating ducts, when Mike falls out of the ceiling grate he is still soaking wet but when he stands up, immediately after, he is almost dry.

  • Revealing mistakes: Mike's notebook computer runs Microsoft Windows XP. In one scene it crashes and displays a "blue screen", which rapidly changes into a blue screen from Windows 98.
  • Continuity: SPOILER: The clock on the nightstand repeatedly shows "60:00" before the shock of the clock setting itself to 60:00 actually happens.

  • Continuity: SPOILER: After Mike has lit the room on fire, the sprinklers come on. Right before he throws the ash tray out the window, his hair goes from messy to slicked back to messy again.

  • Continuity: SPOILER: In the scene where Mike Enslin is lying on the floor in the cold wrapped in the comforter, you can see the bottle of liquor very close to his head. In the next scene when he hears Lily Enslin on his laptop and gets up to try to talk to her, the bottle is much further away.

  • Continuity: SPOILER: When Mike Enslin sees his daughter in the room for the last time, when she's crying and hugging him, the streak of blood coming down from his right ear changes repeatedly between shots.

  • Continuity: SPOILER: When Mike Enslin sees his daughter in the room for the last time, when she's crying and hugging him, her arms go from being on his shoulders to under his arms back and forth several times.

  • Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: When Mike Enslin is holding his "dead" daughter and they move to a close up on her face, you can see her eyes twitch.
