Maybe the introduction early on was slightly a bit too long for my taste, but it's really just nitpicking for anything I did not appreciate about the film and because everything else worked so well. I am a much bigger fan of invisible scares than of brutal depictions of excessive violence, so the base was right already for me here. As for the approach to horror, it was exactly what I hoped it would be. His scenes with Paxton are pretty strong and the two have nice chemistry too. The other one I'd like to mention is Pat Healy, whose character looks a bit like a normal guy / nothing character, but he added many interesting layers there probably also thanks to West's script and direction. All the actors are doing a fine job really. But Kaluuya's awards success recently showed us how things are maybe changing too in that direction. Lead actress Sara Paxton is a revelation really (not only physically and i am saying this as somebody who's not into blondes at all) and I am a bit sad she did not manage a huge breakthrough (yet?) as she really shines in here and is the prime example of how it is more than possible to deliver an amazing performance in a genre film that may not be as perfect for actors in making an impact as it's all about the story and shock value. Horror is a genre I am not always too big on, but this little gem worked well for me on almost every level.

I was lucky enough to watch this 100-minute movie again about a week ago on the big screen and I am really glad I took the chance.

I think this was already his fifth career effort at that point in terms of full feature films alone and as he was only 30 around that time, it is pretty impressive and prolific I'd say. "The Innkeepers" is an American horror/mystery drama from 2011, so already over 5 years old, and this one was written and directed by Ti West.
