Synopsis
After over one hundred years of service, The Yankee Pedlar Inn is shutting its doors for good. The last remaining employees – Claire (Sara Paxton) and Luke (Pat Healy) – are determined to uncover proof of what many believe to be one of New England’s most haunted hotels. As the Inn’s final days draw near, odd guests check in as the pair of minimum wage “ghost hunters” begin to experience strange and alarming events that may ultimately cause them to be mere footnotes in the hotel’s long unexplained history. –SXSW

Continues a trend of 2012 movies that come from young directors obsessed with the (supposedly) tedious aspects of our lives. Also continues the trend of those films abandoning that style to pathetic endings.

When sara paxton is on the screen, the tension isn't whether or not there are ghosts in the house. If she were just *slightly* better at speaking a believable form of english this film might have had a chance. As it stands, just 'okay' but an epilogue is not a final act. Loved House of the Devil..

I like the idea of Ti West movies more than the actual movies. His "slow burn" approach inevitably gives way to standard carnival spook-ride theatrics. He knows camerawork and sound design, but no ideas or emotions burrow under your skin as they do in the best horror. It's all surface-level; hollow ghosties and Satanists who disappear when the lights come up. There's nothing that truly unsettles and stays with you.

HUGE disappoinment after the masterpiece that was The House Of The Devil. This one (The Innkeepers) doesn't have a slow build-up, it has NO build-up! It's not a slow burner, it's a no burner!

The Innkeepers
By meancreek on January 4, 2012
Horror at it’s absolute greatest. Suspenseful, clever and inventive. Ti West knows how to terrify his audience and this is a prime example of it. I was basically trembling for the full 97 minutes… read review
