It doesn't break any rules of the genre, but The Innkeepers serves as additional proof that Ti West is a young director that discriminating horror fans can trust. Read critic reviews

Dec 01, 2014It's nice to see a horror film that isn't all about gore and shock tactics but this film didn't quite work for me. Perhaps it was the use of too much humour in the first half of the film that didn't sit well with the scares in the 2nd. Paxton is good but a little too kooky in the film and her relationship with Healy works well but you never really get why she doesn't just leave when things get too weird and the ending, although scary, is never really explained. A nice attempt but not worth revisiting.David S Super Reviewer

Nov 02, 2014Another display of talent from Ti West, who better than many understands that more efficient than the scares is the tension that comes from the waiting and from what we don't see; he's just not so skillful though in providing a payoff worthy of all the buildup.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Apr 24, 2013A pair of hotel clerks decide to investigate the legend of a ghost said to haunt their hotel in the last days before it's closed; they'll wish they hadn't. Old-fashioned ghost story that's well-made but too slow paced and low key for most horror fans.Greg S Super Reviewer

Apr 22, 2013In "The Innkeepers," the Yankee Pedlar Inn is closing its doors for good in a few days. Its desk clerks, Claire(Sara Paxton, who is possibley a genetically engineered clone of Alexis Bledel) and Luke(Pat Healy), are camping out in the hotel for the weekend, what with the boss being in Barbados and all. They are hoping to get one last good look at the resident ghost. Instead, Claire gets to meet Leanne Rease-Jones(Kelly McGillis), one time sitcom star, who she nearly squees herself into an orgasm over. Now, this is the kind of nostalgia that I can usually get into, especially as it involves old hotels, not part of a corporate chain, but each with their own distinctive charm and history. But atmosphere, cheap thrills and a sense of dread on their own can only get you so far. And unlike his previous film, the finely tuned "The House of the Devil," Ti West with "The Innkeepers" displays a distressing lack of decisiveness, feinting along any number of possible storylines before just bringing the movie to an unsatisfying close.Walter M Super Reviewer
