The Innkeepers
During the final days at the Yankee Pedlar Inn, two employees determined to reveal the hotel's haunted past begin to experience disturbing events as old guests check in for a stay.

The Innkeepers takes a long (and I mean long) time to get where we know it’s going. It withholds virtually all of the spooks and scares for the final 15 minutes or so. Thankfully the build up to the ending as plenty entertaining in large part to the chemistry and banter of our charismatic leads Sara Paxton and Pat Healy. They’re an engaging hang as the haunted history of the hotel is slowly revealed setting up everything that happens in the finale. And that finale definitely delivers on the chills. Several scares in the final moments had me completely in goosebumps. I think I would have preferred to have some bigger scares sprinkled throughout the first half. But if you can tolerate a super slow burn on the front end, there’s a good time to be had with this one in the end.
