“The Innkeepers” is the type of movie audiences don’t get a lot of anymore. Instead of relying on grotesque torture sequences (i.e. any entry in the “Saw” franchise) or scenes where things pop up to scare audiences (i.e. “The Woman in Black”), it delivers old-fashioned chills.

With no major stars to speak of and a cast that wouldn’t fill up a small elevator, this old-fashioned ghost story is definitely worth a look.

Written and directed by Ti West (“The House of the Devil”), the movie offers a familiar setting in an old, nearly-abandoned hotel. The creepy building is scheduled to close at the end of the weekend so only two employees remain on the property. Sara Paxton and Pat Healy play Claire and Luke, the two final staffers who are taking  turns working at the front desk. Claire is an inquisitive woman bent on finding out if the hotel is really haunted—as legend suggests—while Luke is a carefree slacker hoping for a relaxing weekend.
