Supernatural hauntings are investigated by Claire (Sara Paxton) and Luke (Pat Healy), the Pedlars two minimum-wage employees who are working a dead-end job in more ways than one. The film follows the last weekend of business for the aging Yankee Pedlar Inn, a real-life Connecticut hotel where The Innkeepers was filmed.
If you randomly put up three of my movies, theyre very different from each other, but I feel like you might go, Eh, theyre made by the same person. I think all the movies Ive made thus far have been personal movies to me, and The Innkeepers was the more personal one, he said. West said he would call The Innkeepers, which will be released Tuesday on DVD and Blu-ray from Dark Sky Films, a continuation of his voice within the genre.
In the vein of Roman Polanskis psychological-based horror films Rosemarys Baby or Repulsion, a cinematic lineage that West is often lumped into, his films The House of the Devil and The Innkeepers have been highly regarded in both critical circles and with audiences looking for more unnerving thrills than bloodshed. Theyre often dismissed as disposable works with characters produced solely for dying violently, but director Ti West has proven an exception to that rule. Its not often that horror films are widely acclaimed by critics.
