There have been 56 deaths, natural and otherwise, in the title room, located in a Kafkaesque N.Y.C. hotel-from-hell. Intrepid occult writer Cusack is determined to spend the night there. Genuinely scary chiller, nicely paced with clever touches, brings new meaning to the Carpenters’ song “We’ve Only Just Begun.” Based on a Stephen King short story. Unrated director’s cut runs 112m.
