Review of The Innkeepers (2011) by Joellemm — 31 Aug 2016

I liked the directing. The acting was satisfactory. Other than that, the film is poor. The light music and comedic feel provide a childish tone, which fails to build any tension. It leaves a film that is not funny, or scary. The plot is so uninteresting and unoriginal, it almost sent me to sleep. Pat Healy's character seemed to have been given an awfully annoying haircut, which is distracting throughout, to make him seem younger and hipper.

Adding a comedic tone completely defeats the point of it being a horror. At least make it funny. Good effort though.
