Innkeepers LA Times Review
It wasn't his first film, but 2009's low-budget horror feature "The House of the Devil" won writer-director Ti West an ardent genre following with its satanic panic storyline and 1980s aesthetic. For his followup, "The Innkeepers," which premiered earlier this year at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin and plays Sunday and Wednesday at the Los Angeles Film Festival, West goes in a very different direction, trading "Devil's" slow-build dread for comedic banter between two desperately bored employees (Sara Paxton and Pat Healy) at a reportedly haunted hotel.
