Well.
I saw it a while ago.
Like day after opening,
and I thought they were out
but then my friend said:
Maybe they were just imagining they were out, and really his wife is in the room, and they realise its gunna start all over again when they heard there daughter's voice on the recorder.
And it's hard for people to get that.
But I unno. It makes sense to me.
lol.
That probably did not help at all and got you mroe confused didn't it?

Its not that hard to figure it out. He has to live the same hour over and over untill he kills himself. And he finds a way out of the room by destroying it. Not to confusing.

Linnea: 1408 will be released on DVD with an added alternate ending that was said to be "too much of a downer" by the director Mikael Håfström. Without giving anything away, which ending do you prefer/think is more suitable for the movie?
Scott: Oh God!* What a loaded question.* It's hard to answer, considering my DAUGHTER was in one of the deleted endings!* In a nutshell, it came down to whether Mike Enslin lived or died.* Larry and I felt strongly that we*should kill him, that that made for the purist resolution to the tale.* Although he didn't die in the short story, or in Matt's draft, this struck us as the logical, most satisfying ending.* Mikael completely backed us, and that was the ending of the shooting script.* Mike living was a simple*alternate that Bob had us put in for protection.*
What happened in the test screenings, honestly, was that audiences loved John Cusack in the part.* And after all the shit we put him through, they wanted to see him survive.* The performance engenders so much empathy that people wanted to see him victorious.* Not "heroic," or a "winner," in the hack sense, but they wanted him to earn something for his suffering.* And it's certainly not a happy ending -- it has its own dislocation.

Ha, awesome.
And I read the book and saw the movie, so it wasn't hard to figure out. What did you not understand?
