Review
"The suspense built up in this story is real. I wasn't on the edge of my seat but there was a knot in my stomach as I wondered what was going to happen next. From a creepy basement visit with the ghost to a scene where the aging actress warns Claire about the spirit world, this movie is slow but tantalizing. "I'm just here for one last bit of nostalgia," the hotel's final visitor says, a nod to why the film works so well. It's a nostalgic film that should remind viewers of what suspense really feels like. Suspense isn't watching a man getting hacked into pieces. It's watching a woman realize that she's in too deep when she starts asking too many questions about paranormal activity. And that what "The Innkeepers" delivers." - John Hanlon, Big Hollywood
