I became aware of Ti West after a chance viewing of The House of The Devil a few years ago. I was intrigued by the way his films are fairly hum drum affairs until the final reel when things go way off the deep end. I was expecting The Innkeepers to be much the same so I wasn't too concerned that the first two acts are kinda lame as I was expecting a big pay off in the end. The trouble is that payoff never materializes. Just as things start to get going the film abruptly ends and we're left with a weak sauce epilogue in place of the usual Ti West blood and guts insanity. Apart from a couple of formulaic and entirely predictable jump scares there's nothing remotely frightening about this movie and I urge you not to waste your time on it.
