After a night of murders and strange killers, it was time to
find something a bit different for my pre-Father’s Day viewing. While I could
have watched SyFy for an evening with one of their crazy creature features, I
decided to find something a bit more believable. With that in mind, I decided
on the Ti West paranormal flick The Innkeepers.
Plot/ During the final days at the Yankee Pedlar Inn, two
employees determined to reveal the hotel's haunted past begin to experience
disturbing events as old guests check in for a stay.
It had been some time since I watched a solid ghost
story. I am tired of all the hand-cam or found footage stuff; I wanted just a
sound spooky flick like the ones from my youth. Guess what, that is exactly
what this one is. This is just one of the straightforward, slowly paced, flicks
with just enough creepiness to keep your attention throughout. Sure, the flick
may lack an abundance of scares, and there is no gore, but it is a tremendous
story and would be a perfect flick for dark and rainy night. This Ti West flick
is not for everyone, as the pacing is slow and it did not totally capitalize on
the atmosphere that was ripe for the taking, but it is well worth watching.
