And as something beats on the door to get at her, calling her name, Claire tries to escape out the cellar door, only its locked - because she locked it earlier, remember? Then, the ghost of Madeline appears and reaches out to embrace her. Concussed, her scalp torn open and bleeding, the poor girl limps along, staying one step ahead of the old man as he stalks her down the darkened hall and takes refuge in a familiar storeroom, locking herself in. And in perhaps not the wisest of moves, Claire heads down the steps, where she’s suddenly startled by the spectral appearance of the old man right behind her, still naked and bleeding, and takes a nasty tumble. But once he’s gone, Claire hears who she thinks is Leanne calling for her - and calling for her from the basement. He listens to what Claire saw, agrees they should all leave and call the cops, and then offers to go see what’s keeping Leanne while ordering Claire to wait in the lobby. Several tugs off the inhaler later, Claire is back down in the lobby, where she runs into Luke, who felt guilty for running off and came back. The director would recover with House of the Devil (2009), a creepy tale about a sitter facing off against the forces of evil, which really put West, especially with that twisted ending, on the map to Hooper, Craven and Carpenter territory and started all the salvation talk - at least temporarily. A triple threat, serving as writer, director, and editor on his films, West was able to put his personal stamp on things, with the notable exception of Cabin Fever 2 (2009), which suffered through so much studio post-production dickering West asked to have his name removed from the credits. And from the beginning, critics were raving about West’s throwback aesthetic to the unpredictable and atmospheric hardcore horror films of the 1970s and early ‘80s.
#WHERE CAN I WATCH THE INNKEEPERS SERIAL#
You know, I’m old enough to remember the time when director Ti West was tagged as the savior of the horror genre, which was currently wallowing in serial killers, terrible remakes, self-aware slashers, and sparkling vampires when he made his directorial debut with The Roost (2005). But the music stops as she draws closer and the static in her headphones clears up - until an unseen hand smashes down two keys, striking a rather discordant chord, sending a panicked Claire galloping to the room where Luke has crashed-out for the night and raises such a ruckus she rouses the other guests. And so, on the first overnight, armed with Luke’s equipment that isn’t broken, meaning no video camera, Claire starts poking around with the microphone of an EVP detector, which picks up on something while she stakes out the dining room, listening in on a faint voice, then a woman crying, which melts into a piano sonata, which draws Claire back into the lounge near the lobby where a baby grand piano sits. At least that’s the rumor.Īnd while all of this amateur ghost-hunting appears to be in service of beefing up Luke’s fallback career as moderator of a Geocities-level WYSIWYG website about local hauntings to the point where he can monetize this, it quickly becomes apparent Claire is the one who is really obsessed with finding evidence of the ghost, which Luke claims to have already seen. Well, someone blabbed, the owner got caught and punished, and the restless spirit of Madeline has been roaming the halls of the inn ever since in retribution. And to make this story even sadder, the owners of the inn at the time, not wanting their reputation tainted by such a tragedy, tried to hide the body in the basement cellar for several days so they could sneak it out later and let the corpse be found somewhere else. Seems the Yankee Pedlar is haunted by the spirit of Madeline O’Malley, a bride to be, who committed suicide in room 305 when she was jilted at the altar when the groom was a no show over 60 years ago. For this bivouacking will give them ample opportunity to go ghost hunting. And so, Claire (Paxton), an eager and earnest but slightly immature college dropout, who is constantly sucking on her asthma inhaler whenever she gets too wound up, which is, like, totally all the time, and the slightly older Luke (Healy), a cynical, know it all wise-ass, decide to sleepover at the inn, too, while they split 12-hour shifts at the front desk these last two days.
