The 2011 Opening Night Film
The Innkeepers
a film by Ti West
One of the most exciting and original filmmakers on the independent scene today, Ti West (The Roost, Trigger Man and The House of the Devil) directs, edits and co-produces his original screenplay about two employees of a soon-to-be-closed hotel, who get more than they bargained for when they set out to prove that the hotel is as haunted as its reputation, in The Innkeepers.

After over one hundred years of service, The Yankee Pedlar Inn is shutting its doors for good. The last remaining employees - Claire (Sara Paxton) and Luke (Pat Healy)- are determined to uncover proof of what many believe to be one of New England's most haunted hotels.  As the Inn’s final days draw near, odd guests check in as the pair of minimum wage “ghost hunters” begin to experience strange and alarming events that may ultimately cause them to be mere footnotes in the hotel’s long unexplained history.

The Innkeepers is not shocking or truly scary, but instead is packed with classic startles that have all the allure, charm and fascination of a 1980’s era haunted house amusement ride, along with an equal number of laughs. The film is an exceptional, yet classic, tale that stands out in a stellar year of independent film.
