From director Ti West (The House of the Devil) comes THE INNKEEPERS. Set in the venerable Yankee Pedlar Inn, which is about to shut its doors for good after over a century of service. Believed by many to be one of New England’s “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. As the Inn’s final days draw near, odd guests check in as the pair of minimum wage “ghost hunters” begin to experience strange and alarming events that may ultimately cause them to be mere footnotes in the hotel’s long unexplained history.
"The American horror industry may not have earned it of late, but it needs more filmmakers like Ti West. The Innkeepers is radiant with inspiration...Genuinely funny...Yielding a refined and sophisticated sense of dread. Ti west does it again." - Peter Hall, Moviefone
"A low-key, slow-burning supernatural tale in which a vivid, sympathetic female protagonist is progressively menaced in a distinctive locale...This is at heart an old-fashioned ghost story, made the more piquant by Paxton’s sympathetic, funny, vulnerable lead performance...There are several high-impact shocks among the delicate chills. - Kim Newman, Screen Daily
"West, unlike most whammy-driven horror filmmakers isn't afraid to take his time, building character and mood before pulling back the curtain...A slow burning creeper that pays off in spades." - Sam Adams, Philadelphia City Paper
"Genre maven Ti West goes further back in time for "The Innkeepers," a deliberately paced, dialogue-heavy ghost story in the style of Eisenhower-era B-pics...West's intent is to unsettle, not shock or scare -- until, at long last, the audience gets a good look at what's going bump in the night...Paxton is enormously appealing" - Joe Leydon, Variety
"Horror fans will appreciate a movie that doesn't need to beat them over the heads or eviscerate everyone onscreen to earn a shriek...A largely entertaining picture...Will please many die-hard genre aficionados." - John Defore, The Hollywood Reporter
"The indie king of the slow-burn horror flick is back, and this time Ti West is bringing along an unexpected dose of wit, warmth, and weirdly effective character-based comedy. He continues to advance his own unique brand of off-kilter, oddly creepy, and entirely original horror flicks... The Innkeepers marks his most original and novel flick to date. Paxton is an effortlessly charming young actress"- Scott Weinberg, FEARnet
