Red in D @redindenver 4d This movie is no masterpiece, but it was a good story. I didn't have to fast-forward, because this movie held my interest and was entertaining. I liked and could relate to the characters, and so cared about what happened to them. See more The W @TheWagners Jul 5 This movie feels like two different movies, in the beginning it's lighthearted and slow and boring. The next movie is a ghost story that goes nowhere, we just see ghosts for no rhyme or reason. I wanted to like this slow burn of a movie but it had jumpscares left and right and almost nothing happened. Like I feel like this movie could have been more.

The extremely normal scenes filled with unremarkable dialogue create a feeling as if this is capturing the realness of boring life, which makes the events at the end truly shocking. Ty west is one of my favorite directors because of his ability to write interesting stories and pull amazing performances from his cast. This film is one of the few examples of a slow burn that’s worth sticking around for. See more Jason F. @EpIcLyFe Feb 9 Joe Bob said it is a slow burn. It's a good one. Check it out. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 12 The Innkeepers is a slow-burn horror film set in a closing, supposedly haunted hotel. The story follows Claire and Luke, two employees trying to document paranormal activity before the hotel shuts down. While the concept has potential, the execution falters due to uneven pacing and a meandering screenplay. Director Ti West creates some effective atmosphere with dimly lit corridors and eerie framing, but tension builds sporadically, and jump scares feel inconsistent. Sara Paxton and Pat Healy deliver engaging performances, their chemistry providing small moments of levity, though supporting characters are underdeveloped. The supernatural elements remain vague, and the tonal mix of subtle horror and dark comedy clashes at times. Sound design and cinematography are competent but never fully elevate the film. Overall, The Innkeepers is partially engaging for fans of slow, atmospheric horror, but its uneven execution and lack of sustained scares make it a frustrating and incomplete See more Read all reviews
