I waited years to watch this film because the ratings were poor. I now realize that I've just been waiting for the right evening to watch this flick. It truly gave me the creeps. I see a lot of reviews here that do not do justice in explaining what a great film this is. Yes, it's a slow burn. That's where the charm is at. If you are in the mood for a spooky ghost film that builds tension, this is a gem. As other people have mentioned it has fleshed out characters and some laughs as well. I honestly see this as another example of Ti West being a modern master of horror. He can do throwback gore films. With The Innkeepers, he has proven that he can deliver a wonderful haunted hotel film too.
The definition of a Slow Burn. Cast did a fantastic job of making you believe them, but the length of time between moments of spooks kinda works against it. Still, a great movie to introduce your friends to supernatural horror with.
Actors did great but was VERY VERY SLOW and not really scary at all... i was really let down, i kept waiting for something ANYTHING to happen but nothing happened not even good jump scares.
As much as I wanted to submit to the hype, Innkeepers was just too slow and too uninteresting for far too long. The ending was good but didn't justify such a sloggish build.
Sooo trippy! Love the characters and complete setup. Everything expected with the dynamic on peak. Humor a plus for this movie.
