Rainey Dawn I was hoping for a good ghost story but it failed to deliver. I was rather bored half way into the film. Mainly the two innkeepers are friends and flirt with each other. I think they like each other in "that way" but neither wants to make the first move - that's what I got out of it for the most part. OH then we have our ghost or spirit that is hardly focused on for most of the flick. Towards the end of the film they finally get to the ghost but by then I really didn't care, I just wanted the movie over with. It's true that about the time you think the movie is going to get good then it drops back down to more scenes of friends flirting again or other mundane things. 3/10

jfgibson73 The Innkeepers turned out to be a very average ghost story. I enjoyed it most of the way through, despite the slow build. The main characters were interesting enough, and the old creepy building made for a good setting. My biggest problem is how everything was resolved. The main character gets trapped in a basement, and we see the ghost coming towards her. In the next scene, we see that the girl is dead. Now, it was left somewhat open how she died, as the movie gives a clue that the girl was without her inhaler. But if you take it for face value, it looks like the ghost got her. It's never explained why the ghost might be harmful or why it would single out the girl. So that's pretty much it. Slow build, sudden ending. Fine most of the way through.

FountainPen Please heed my words and avoid this TRASH at all costs. I kept hoping that something would come along to save it, but I was continually disappointed, all the way through to the asinine ending. I can only presume that Kelly McGillis, a generally well-respected actress, direly needed money, to agree to appear in this garbage. There was plenty of POTENTIAL in this film, but it was not realised. The director clearly enjoys stretching out scenes, to make particularly BORING. This was done time after time, ad nauseum. I should have given up on the flick after a half hour, but, owing to the potentials I saw, I hung on in there, waiting for a valuable turn in the "plot", some development. The young girl either is a DOPE or has dutifully followed the director's instruction to act like a DOPE... she certainly comes across as a DOPE, and most of the time looks like a 12-year old girl OR boy. I had noted the relatively high IMDb rating for this flick, but from me it gets only a 1. Lousy movie, tiring, dull, nothing to redeem it.

Stevy Claire's acting is so bad, the worst i have ever seen. I almost fell asleep when i watched this with my husband, he even fell asleep .. I think the movie is not as scary as it supposed to be because of the actress. This movie would be much better, not boring with better actress because the actress acts like its a parody film. The plot is not brilliant, so slow, nothing happened in the first one hour,and it is ridiculous that Claire as the innkeeper is so lousy, irresponsible (no wonder the hotel is closing down because of bad service) The ghosts look scary, the suicide part is good. Last 15-20 mins is better but again not much happened and the actress' act is annoying, fake. Good thing about this movie is it has the real thing in reality, such as the hotel which still exist til now.
