The Innkeepers is a 2011 supernatural horror film directed, produced, and written by Ti West and starring Sara Paxton, Pat Healy and Kelly McGillis.Two young slackers, Claire (Paxton) and Luke (Healy), are the last two employees of the soon-to-be-closed-down Yankee Pedlar Inn in Connecticut. Knowing that the inn is rumored to be haunted, they go out looking for the ghost of Madeline O'Malley, a jilted bride who killed herself at the inn many years ago, with the help of former sitcom actress turned medium Leanne Rease-Jones (McGillis), who is staying at the inn for a convention. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
| The Innkeepers / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: For a guy who's investigating hauntings, Luke is awfully quick to dismiss Leanne as a phony psychic. Then again, this was before we learn that he thought the whole thing was hokum to begin with, and was just making it all up based on stuff he'd heard. When he becomes convinced that Madeline is really haunting the hotel, he makes a run for it. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus | |
| The Innkeepers / int_62f9d08e | comment |
Freeze-Frame Bonus: The very last shot of the film is an extended shot of an empty room in the inn. It is very clearly set up to make the viewer tense up in anticipation of a Jump Scare—which does come just before the credits. But one thing that's very easy to miss, even on repeated viewings, is the faint silhouette of Claire's ghost to the right of the window, who turns to look at the camera just before the door slams. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| The Innkeepers / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Sure, Claire, go into the basement after the psychic lady warns you not to go down there. And while you're at it, go back down there when you hear strange noises coming from that direction, and run further into the basement rather than up and towards your friends. Though given that she'd made those decisions after having more than a few beers and in the last case fell down a flight of stairs and hit her head, this is likely justified. | |

Fright Deathtrap: The ghosts aren't able to do much more than move small objects and cause whispering on the physical plane, so Madeline and the dead guest have to rely on scaring Claire into tripping down stairs, and triggering an asthma attack. Though whether Madeline truly intended to harm Claire is unclear. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane | |
| The Innkeepers / int_cb70651c | comment |
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The movie is intended to be capable of being interpreted as the ghosts existing or not. Claire is already naive, paranormal investigation is that's stated to be capable of making people imagine things, and later, not sleeping well. Claire and Luke were also drunk the only time Luke encountered the ghost, which was also when Claire's more severe encounters happened. Though if you spot the aforementioned Freeze-Frame Bonus at the end of the film, this could be seen as lending credence to the perceived supernatural elements. | |
