That will fail if $INPUT contains spaces or is empty.
[ ! -f "$INPUT" ] && die "File $INPUT does not exist!"

How?
Code:
INPUT="this is a test.txt"
[ ! -f "$INPUT" ] && echo "No" || echo "Yes"
No
Code:
>"$INPUT"
[ ! -f "$INPUT" ] && echo "No" || echo "Yes"
Yes
And with empty
Code:
INPUT=""
[ ! -f "$INPUT" ] && echo "No" || echo "Yes"
No
Tested on GNU bash, version 3.2.39.
