Just watched The Innkeepers and IMO, it is an eerie, haunting, funny, and a return to classic nail-biting horror. By allowing time for character development, the creation of atmosphere, and building of suspense, and by steering clear of gore and saving its big reveal until the end, the director Ti West has delivered a genuinely involving and disconcerting chiller. He has a distinctive, careful camera style. I liked the way the camera shot was held for an exquisitely long time, so that when the scares arrive they pack a jolt.
I may have just found a new favorite director.
