And then unfortunately, for whatever reason, knowingly or unknowingly, he veered off onto a well-worn, safe, hackneyed path that robbed it entirely of depth. The thing just plain feels tinkered with and compromised, because the story starts off solid, and where he seemed to be going with it was genius and groundbreaking.
I suspect the studio insinuated itself during the writing process, with awful script notes and the like. How does one go from being the most intelligent horror writer-director around to being a hack in two short years? Did he get hit on the head or something? So much so that it’s hard to believe he didn’t make it prior to The House of the Devil. The Innkeepers, however, is blatantly botched. Easily one of my favorite horror movies of all time. The House of the Devil, Ti West’s film right before this, is pitch-perfect. What happened with this one? It really makes no sense how it could be so bad. But not in the two paragraphs directly below this sentence. The Innkeepers (2011) Written & Directed by Ti West
