Venue: South by Southwest Film Festival, Spotlight Premieres section (Dark Sky Films)Ĭast: Sara Paxton, Pat Healy, Alison Bartlett, Jake Schlueter, Kelly McGillis, Lena Dunham, George Riddle Other horror fans will appreciate a movie that doesn’t need to beat them over the heads or eviscerate everyone onscreen to earn a shriek or two. Effects are so understated, and so sparsely used, that many moviegoers would feel they don’t justify the build-up.

When the basement finally needs investigating and the spirits get active, West keeps the thrills decidedly low-tech. The two make boredom and graveyard-shift exhaustion reasonably fun to watch enough so that the screenplay’s introduction of a once-famous TV actress ( Kelly McGillis) as a guest comes across almost as a distraction. Paxton, as a skinny tomboy with more enthusiasm than savvy, plays well off weary, sarcastic Healy, whose Luke is supposedly more knowledgeable about the hotel’s spooks (he maintains a web site that would have been cutting-edge in the mid-‘90s) but exhibits a suspicious lack of curiosity on this final weekend before closing. (At the premiere screening at SXSW, the crowd settled into this vibe so much that they kept laughing with apparent enjoyment, not mockery once the scares fired up.) Given West’s foreplay-heavy approach to horror, in which almost nothing really scary happens until the final act, viewers will appreciate the easy dynamic between two likable actors, and many will read the movie as more of a comedy than a fright flick. Claire ( Sara Paxton) and Luke ( Pat Healy) take turns manning the front desk during the century-old hotel’s closing weekend, tending to the two or three remaining guests while taking breaks to hold microphones in vacant rooms, hoping to record a ghost. Shot in the Connecticut hotel where West’s crew stayed during Devil‘s production, the film cares more about the chemistry between its two leads than the paranormal lore that fascinates them both. The result is a largely entertaining picture with too few (and late-arriving) scares to satisfy the multiplex crowd, but one that will please many die-hard genre aficionados. AUSTIN - Following his grindhouse-loving House of the Devil with a ghost film that could have been mainstream in the ‘80s, Ti West exhibits less stylistic fetishism with The Innkeeperswhile remaining solidly outside of contemporary fashions.
