THE INNKEEPERS MOVIE MOVIE
He pointlessly breaks the movie into titled chapters, e.g. But he lazily wrote no back story for it and makes no effort to give it a haunted history or vibe. (Mainly because it isn’t scary.)Īs with King’s “1408” and “The Shining,” West wants this well-kept Connecticut hostelry (it really is called The Yankee Pedlar) to cast its spell and give us chills. Believed by many to be one of New Englands 'most haunted hotels,' the last remaining employees -Claire (Sara Paxton) and Luke (Pat Healy)- are determined to uncover proof before it shuts down for good. Set in the venerable Yankee Pedlar Inn, which is about to shut its doors for good after over a century of service. “Innkeepers” is NOTHING like those films. From director Ti West comes The Innkeepers. So no “found footage” “Blair Witch”/”Paranormal” comparisons here. A horror-thriller centered on the last two employees at a haunted hotel thats going out of business. And the nerdy, dullish Luke has enlisted Claire, played by Sara Paxton (“Last House on the Left”), to help him.īut they don’t want video of this Corpse Bride.

But desk clerk Luke (Pat Healy) wants to find proof of the hotel’s ghost - Madeline O’Malley, a bride who died there - before it closes its doors.

The Yankee Pedlar, which looks to date from the early 19th century, is a money-losing operation about to close for good.

During the final days at the Yankee Pedlar Inn, two employees determined to reveal the hotel’s haunted past begin to experience disturbing events as old guests check in for a stay. Writer-director Ti West goes where many - especially Stephen King - have gone before with “The Innkeepers,” a handsome looking but utterly flat-footed tale of a haunted hotel. The Innkeepers is a 2011 American supernatural horror film written, directed and edited by Ti West,3 starring Sara Paxton, Pat Healy, and Kelly McGillis.
