Chapter One - The Movie That Never Ends
Starting this movie I'd hoped that Sara Paxton's cuteness would make it watchable. And it barely did! Of course her character has asthma. Such a quirky and unique idea, I've never seen that before. The movie starts out as any haunting movie would. Two Innkeepers interested in the Inn's questionable past. Sure okay I'm game! But you quickly realize that The Innkeepers is just "Sara Paxton Makes Goofy Faces and Acts Like a Fifteen Year Old" the movie. She even had chipped unfinished nail polish like you find on a teen. Plus no socks with normal shoes! Come on girls gross!
Chapter Two - Ain't Shit Happening
30 minutes in and Sara's face is still the only interesting thing about this movie. I will give this movie credit for not relying on sudden load noises to force a reaction from the viewers. That being said not a lot to talk about here. The movie continues with the character development and plot buildup. You really do start to care about the two Innkeepers. Then you hit the 40 minute mark and still nothing. The movie itself feels like an 80's style haunting film. At times I half expected one of the Corey's to come busting in to help the team. Plus you learn that some retired actresses are mystics!
Chapter Three - Sara Paxton the Macaulay Culkin of Females
It's not until 1:15 minutes into the movie. That you finally start to see that this is in fact a movie about ghost! That's when Sara Culkin encounters a full fledged tangible apparition! Wait... Nope still nothing!!! 1:25 minutes into the movie shit finally starts happening. The last twenty minutes gives you some pretty cool action sequences. But it's too little too late. An hour and a half of buildup for a super weak conclusion. Thoroughly disappointed.
I give The Innkeepers two and a half Paxton's out of five
I recommend pairing this film with a nice Hard Cider
