  Review by Ian West ★★★★ 7

  I’m one of those weirdos that love slow, boring, hallway roaming ghost movies—especially when its set in a beautiful old building like the hotel/inn featured here. I dunno, I know slow burn can be an acquired taste for some but this thing oozes atmosphere that I love and is right up there with House of the Devil as far as atmosphere led roaming empty house movies of the 21st century. 

  Around the time of this movies release I was getting back into slower brooding gothic horror and 70’s ghost story stuff, so I was so stoked for this. Personally I love the anticipation of characters wondering around a creepy old place, the banter between Paxton and Healy as amateur ghost hunters,…

  I FUCKING LOVE SLOW BURN HORROR FILMS

  THE JOY I GAIN FROM WAITING AN HOUR FOR SOMETHING CREEPY OR UNSETTLING TO HAPPEN IS FUCKING UNIMAGINABLE

  Hooptober 9: It’s in Space Now 
  
  Scariest part of the film was when I looked down for a second then looked back up and saw Lena Dunham.

  Ti West my man, there’s a stark difference between a slow burn horror film and a film where nothing fucking happens until the wet fart it calls the climax. At least House of the Devil occasionally broke up it’s monotony with a quick glimpse at something spooky, this is so abhorrently dull for its entirety it’s shocking. Even when I actually got to see ghosts being ghosts it’s so incredibly underwhelming I couldn’t bring myself to care.

  The first almost fifty minutes contain nothing but hotel clerk conversations and annoying guests with some…

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Great supernatural atmosphere and nail biting suspense! I dug Sara Paxton and Pat Healy's genuinely human performances! The buildup had me hanging on every word, whisper or scream! I was really enjoying myself UNTIL the anticlimactic ending when I suddenly realized it was all for naught!

  Bummer!

  Spooktober III: The Haunting of the Blood October

  Having now seen two films directed by Ti West, I can say with confidence that the director takes pride in imbuing his films with a distinctive visual aesthetic, which elevates even formulaic plots to the level of enjoyable splendor.

  The film's enjoyable qualities stem in large part from this, as well as Sara Paxton's acting, which successfully sells both the film's thrills and its comedic moments. With that in mind, the comedy is hit or miss; sometimes it adds to the mood, while other times it detracts from it. Even though the make-up and the finale are both quite nice, I don't think there's a decent balance between the horror and humor elements.

  All in all, while I enjoy his approach and the picture is never dull, it lacks a distinct identity.

  You ever watch a movie and in the back of your mind your just like "Damn, I really wish I was taking a nap right about now"

  Review by Kevflix And Chill ★★★½ 1

  The Innkeepers takes a long (and I mean long) time to get where we know it’s going.  It withholds virtually all of the spooks and scares for the final 15 minutes or so. Thankfully the build up to the ending as plenty entertaining in large part to the chemistry and banter of our charismatic leads Sara Paxton and Pat Healy. They’re an engaging hang as the haunted history of the hotel is slowly revealed setting up everything that happens in the finale. And that finale definitely delivers on the chills. Several scares in the final moments had me completely in goosebumps. I think I would have preferred to have some bigger scares sprinkled throughout the first half. But if you…

  The pace of this movie is so slow that an old lady passed me twice while watching

  Review by Larry ★★★★ 3

  "It was a night much like tonight.... Here at the Yankee Pedlar Inn... The night was dead silent and the breeze cool and crisp. The ornate wood carvings, elegant paintings and oak smell in the ancient halls bore witness to a great tragedy. Death. Now the dark halls are said to be haunted by the weeping spirit of Madeline O'Malley. She wanders the Yankee Pedlar in her tattered wedding gown with rolled over eyes. They say you can still hear her cries in the night..;"

  "And don't forget.... Never go in the basement...."

  Sound like a old fashioned ghost story? Good. That's the point.

  Ti West has been a guy that I've been growing increasingly fond of after I've had…

  Review by Kylo ★★★½ 4

  This was more fun than I was expecting. Quirky characters and a cool setting. I loved Sara Paxton’s goofy performance. It did run a little long and may not have not lived up to its premise. However, I did really enjoyed it.

  Review by Meli🐢🌻🎧 ★★★½ 2

  I remember that my sister and I always wanted to watch this as kids but we never could because my beloved and blessed Blockbuster didn’t have it:( bUT TODAY I COULD FINALLY WATCHED IT AND OMG IT WAS BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT COULD BE

  Yes it’s another ghost story, yes it could be a little cliché sometimes at times and stuff but daaamn it just had this special vibe that made it feel a little different for me; that made it stand out from any other ghost-story film imo. Now, sound mixing/editing is something that I usually don’t pay a lot of attention about, not because I don’t care because I really try to appreciate every single littlest detail…
