A pair of self-styled ghost chasers hunt for spirits in a run-down New England inn in this subtle thriller from director Ti West. The Yankee Pedlar Inn is a hotel in Torrington, CT, that's been welcoming guests for over a hundred years. However, not many have been stopping by lately, and the owners have chosen to shut it down. In the Yankee Pedlar's last weeks of operation, the staff have been reduced to just two people, Claire (Sara Paxton) and Luke (Pat Healy). Neither one is especially interested in hotel management, but they're both students of the supernatural: They've come to the Yankee Pedlar because it has a reputation for being haunted and they want to see for themselves if ghosts walk the halls before it's too late. The two spend their time searching the empty rooms for evidence of paranormal activity, which Luke will post on his website (if he ever finishes it), but they don't find much until an eccentric woman (Kelly McGillis) who shares their fascination with ghosts checks in. Together, they begin to discover the truth about the Yankee Pedlar's strange legacy. The Innkeepers received its world premiere at the 2011 South by Southwest Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    A very suspenseful movie, not scary or a horror movie, nicely acted.

    This is not a horror movie. It's not even a suspense although it tries to be. It's poorly acted and really has no purpose. Characters are introduced but never explained and ultimately the story falls flat without any answers given as to why the inn is haunted or really by whom. 20 minutes into the movie and I was ready to turn it off. Once I got to the end, I wish I had turned it off.

    Not really a horror movie, more like suspense or thriller. It was a little slow going and the script could have been a bit better with better character development. Unlike Weigela B, I expected Claire to be a little jittery because it was the first time she actually did a paranormal investigation and she was alone. Before it was just personal experiences during her daily work. I was not pleased with the end. I wish there would be more explanation as to what the spirits wanted with Claire and who the other spirits were in the hotel. Leigh mentioned other spirits there, yet at the end we only saw the old man that killed himself and Madeline. I also would have liked to know more about the old man. But it was a suspensful movie and kept me interested.
