The Innkeepers Wants to Say Boo

After a couple of holiday weeks of inventing as many adult beverages as possible with St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur and making meals out of leftover party dips, chips and prosciutto, there's nothing better than settling down with a bar of chocolate and Ti West's latest horror film.

He who beautifully brought us the supernatural flashback to 80s era horror in The House of the Devil, has returned with a ghost story, The Innkeepers, that will make you never want to stay in a small town hotel again...if you're actually prone to doing that.

Healy and Paxton try to convince themselves they aren't about to shit their pants

On their last weekend as desk clerks at the infamous Yankee Pedlar Inn before it closes [insert foreboding tone] FOREVER, Claire (Sara Paxton) and Luke (Pat Healy) decide to drink some beer, take long naps, and uncover the secret behind the hotel's angry ghost, Madeline O'Malley.

Luckily they won't be too busy working since there are only four guests: There's the verbally abusive and temperamental woman with her young son. There's the dusty old man from the Wilford Brimley school of creepy old dudes who looks like he has no eyes. And there's the former TV star turned new agey psychic, Leanne, played by Chico's-clad Amazon Lesbian Queen, Kelly McGillis. What starts as an optimistic adventure eventually takes a turn towards a holy-shit-balls-Pandora-why'd-you-open-that-fucking-box nightmare.

This story is more than fun and thrilling to watch. The players are quirky, drunk, sexy and silly and...GASP!...talented. Healy nails the nonchalance of a slacker unsure of himself and McGillis grabs you with the saucy claws of a practiced thespian (you'll seriously want to watch her drink and smoke and drink and quip over and over again).

But Paxton is unequivocally the true star. Her genuine eagerness, soapy scrubbed naivete and all around adorkable curiosity make her clumsy, clever and incredibly scrumptious, a beacon of blonde light in hotel full of dark, deadly secrets—with nary a happy ending in sight.

See this movie right this second and support other talented moviemakers like West. I don't just say this because we both have the same last name and are most likely related. Unless it will get me a job on his next project. In which case, that's exactly why I'm saying it.
