Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

WisdomsHammer I can see why some people like this movie and why some people don't. I'm not here to slam either group, I'm just here to give my personal opinion and try to let people know what they're in for if they decide to give this a chance.There ARE unexplained happenings in the movie and some decent scares, but frankly, throughout most of the movie you will be watching two terrible hotel employees while one avoids doing his job and is an unapologetic jerk, and the other goes into guests rooms and annoys them. Later, they both get half drunk and make a bunch of noise, putting on a skit of sorts that really takes the wind out of the middle of the movie.Throughout the movie, tension is built, then collapses with inane banter, jump scares, or hysteria. It's kind of like driving with someone who hits the gas, then the brake, then the gas, then the brake - and it's about as annoying.Here's the meat of the story, with spoilers:Kelly McGillis plays a once-famous actress named Leanne who is now a sort of psychic. She warns the girl working at the hotel not to go in the basement.The girl goes in the basement. She gets freaked out, then goes down again with the guy who works with her and a recorder while they're half drunk. She freaks him out by calling to the spirit of the woman supposedly haunting the place and then pointing out that there's a draft. The guy gets so scared that he runs out of the hotel and drives off, leaving her alone. Now she's scared, too. She goes and wakes up Leanne because she's scared and doesn't know what to do. They go back down into the basement, and suddenly Leanne senses danger and says they must leave immediately. The girl suddenly remember that there's a guy who checked in and insisted on staying in a room on the third floor and decides to warn him, too. She lets herself in his room and finds him dead and bloody from suicide in the tub. Now she's really freaked out. Is that why she completely forgot about the other 2 guests she had in the hotel? We never find out. The guy comes back and apologizes for leaving the girl, then leaves her again to go get Leanne. The girl hears noises that lead her to the basement again, and even though she desperately wants to leave the hotel and no on is stopping her, she goes back down into the basement. Because she heard a noise. Really?Most of this happens in roughly the last fifteen minutes of the movie.We do see ghosts, but they're always from the girl's point of view, and we're never sure if she's really seeing them or if she's imagining it all. There are some other weird things that happen, but nothing conclusive enough to be as scary for the audience as it is for the characters, and I found myself so unsympathetic towards them that I didn't care to put myself in their shoes and didn't really care about what happened to them, either.Major major spoiler:I only want to give the ending away because of how unsatisfying it is and because it's not a "twist" ending, but it is what the whole movie is building up to: The girl never comes out of the basement alive. She dies, but we don't know whether it was because of a fall, or because of a deadly asthma attack, if it was the "ghosts," or if she just scared herself to death. In the very last scene, we see a door slam by itself. Oooh, spooky. But satisfying? NO.The ending might have been okay if the ride leading up to it had been more effective and entertaining. Again, my opinion.

slimecity-38663 Its hard to find a good horror. I love the Descent, the Autopsy of Jane Joe, It Follows and Get Out - they are good and original horrors. if you love boring derivative trash like Dont Breathe you will love this. Very very boring and not original. I didnt like it at all. And I did like this director's reboot of Evil Dead......

jfgibson73 The Innkeepers turned out to be a very average ghost story. I enjoyed it most of the way through, despite the slow build. The main characters were interesting enough, and the old creepy building made for a good setting. My biggest problem is how everything was resolved. The main character gets trapped in a basement, and we see the ghost coming towards her. In the next scene, we see that the girl is dead. Now, it was left somewhat open how she died, as the movie gives a clue that the girl was without her inhaler. But if you take it for face value, it looks like the ghost got her. It's never explained why the ghost might be harmful or why it would single out the girl. So that's pretty much it. Slow build, sudden ending. Fine most of the way through.

Paige Chaplin (rickyslittlehorror) I wanted to watch The Innkeepers since it came out back in 2011, and it was recently on television. I recorded it, and gladly decided to curl up on a chilly winter's night thinking that the adrenaline would help warm me up, and that I might even spill my hot chocolate.Unfortunately, this was not the case.The Innkeepers won 2 awards and was nominated for another four; it won Scariest Film at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival and also won Best Musical Score at Screamfest. In my opinion, it only deserved the Best Musical Score.Now, I give a lot of horror movies a chance but this movie was just... grim. Sure, there were scary moments that caused you to flinch away from the screen, but nothing to make you, or rather, me, fully jump. The plot was predictable, and I felt that it lagged on. There were two or three times I had to turn it off and come back to it for the main fact that I couldn't get into the movie itself. The plot – two inn workers are trying to prove that there's a ghost that haunts the inn they work at before it closes down.With the scares few and far between, I honestly do not understand how this won Scariest Film at Toronto, when there were plenty of better movies released.The movie itself was alright. I definitely wouldn't watch it again, and I wouldn't go out my way to buy the DVD or to own a copy of the movie. I suppose for people who are not avid horror watchers, this movie would be ideal – and probably a lot scarier to, but for your avid horror watchers, I'd avoid this movie and go watch a good old fashioned fright fest like The Descent. Scoring only a 4/10 from me, I would avoid this movie.
