The Big Picture With the third installment of his X trilogy, MaXXXine, storming the box office, director Ti West is having a moment. But long before the trio of interconnected slashers starring Mia Goth, West made a horror movie with a very different tone. The Innkeepers, starring Sara Paxton and Pat Healy, tells the story of two bored hotel employees, Claire and Luke, at the end of the hotel's life .
Release Date August 18, 2011 Director Ti West Cast Sara Paxton , Pat Healy , Alison Bartlett , Jake Ryan , Kelly McGillis , Lena Dunham Runtime 101 Minutes Writers Ti West Studio Dark Sky Films Tagline Some guests never check out. Expand Pat Healy and Sara Paxton Are a Comedic Duo in Ti West's 'The Innkeepers' Despite being based on a chilling real experience West had while filming The House of the Devil, The Innkeepers isn't all that terrifying.
'The Innkeepers' Is an Awkward Comedy Close The first half of The Innkeepers, before everything goes downhill for Claire and Luke, features some greatintentionally awkward moments between a crew of oddball characters. One of the few guests at the vast, empty Yankee Pedlar Inn is a jaded alcoholic actress named Leanne who runs from fame and is giving up her acting career to pursue her true calling as a medium.
There is also an unexpected cameo from Lena Dunham, who plays the barista across the street from the inn, who asks Claire about work, before saying, "Look, I know I don't know you well," and based on tropes of horror, we might expect Dunham to be offering a warning for Claire to get out of town or leave her job at once.
