Aahfter Horror

This week 3 of the boys attempt to fill an hour about a film that has more issues than a night out in Margate!

"The Innkeepers" is a 2011 horror film written and directed by Ti West. Known for his atmospheric and slow-burn approach to horror, West delivers a chilling tale centered around the final days of a haunted hotel. Set in a quaint, old inn that is about to close its doors, the film follows two employees, Claire and Luke, who become obsessed with uncovering the paranormal mysteries that reside within the building.

"The Innkeepers" masterfully builds tension and suspense, relying on atmospheric storytelling rather than relying on jump scares. It explores themes of curiosity, obsession, and the blurred line between reality and the supernatural. The film excels in creating a sense of unease and dread, with eerie sound design, dimly lit corridors, and the looming presence of ghostly apparitions. It is a testament to West's skill as a director, creating an unsettling and haunting experience for audiences.

With its emphasis on character development and a slow-burn narrative, "The Innkeepers" stands out in the horror genre. It offers a refreshing departure from the typical formulaic approach, delivering a more nuanced and atmospheric experience. The film's meticulous attention to detail and reliance on suspense make it a memorable entry in the genre, catering to those who appreciate psychological horror that lingers in the mind long after the credits roll.
