The Innkeepers (2011)
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.
