August has been a significant month for SCREAMBOX, which celebrated the anniversary of Tobe Hooper’s original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, took a look back at the classic 1985 movie Clue in Who Done It: The Clue Documentary, got creature feature crazy with the sci-fi horror Subject, and had a blast with the Ghostbusters-inspired sci-fi horror comedy The Ghastly Brothers.
In addition to the extremely controversial The Woman hitting the streaming service last week, SCREAMBOX has now added Ti West‘s (X, Pearl) supernatural classic The Innkeepers, courtesy of MPI and Dark Sky Films!
“While director Ti West’s brand of slow burn horror tends to be divisive, as slow burn horror is in general, The Innkeepers presents itself as a worthy selection for being based around and shot in an actual haunted hotel; the Yankee Pedlar Inn,” writes Meagan Navarro.
In the film, “The Yankee Pedlar Inn is in the process of closing. During its final weekend of operation, Claire and Luke are the only employees working. As avid ghost hunting enthusiasts, the pair toggle between checking in old guests and digging into the hotel’s haunted history to determine if the place is indeed haunted.”
Sara Paxton stars as Claire, and Pat Healy plays her ghost hunting partner in crime, Luke. The film rests mostly on their shoulders, but look for Kelly McGillis to play a crucial role as former actress Leanne Rease-Jones.
Adds Meagan: “The hotel atmosphere is effectively creepy. The thrilling conclusion injects adrenaline to an otherwise sleepy ghost story, and that final parting shot elicits chills.”
