    It's really left to interpretation, but at the very end they revealed that she died of as asthma attack, so we're led to believe that it was all in her head. Of course, you can still choose to believe that she really did see the ghosts and the asthma death was the only relational explanation to everyone else

    Too much thought power required in that case.

    And for that reason...my hangover precludes me from thinking

    its like a ninja conversation :ninja:


    spoilers...read on

    my interpretation of the ending was this. The woman said she had deja vu in reverse. She saw things that could be the future that didn't make a lot of sense. She said there were 3 spirits. At the time there was only the bride but then the old man killed himself so that made 2. Then the girl died in the end and that made 3. So the old lady was seeing the future. My problem with the whole thing was why the hell did the girl go down in the basement in the end. The old lady TOLD HER not to go down there and she wouldn't go down there herself. Why are you gonna go down there and look for her you idiot!?!?!?! My ending to the movie would have been the old lady dying to save the 2 people that worked there. Not realizing she herself was ghost number 3. Woulda been a much better ending

    I've really dug Ti West's stuff up to this point, "House Of The Devil" was great. And I do love me some slow burn, plot build-up. Need to get off my ass and see this.

    The way the 'script@, for the want of a better word is divided into 'chapters' is laughable, never more so than the 'epilogue' which explains nothing.
    By all means UHM'rs, see it but be prepared for a shower of slow digesting shit to listlessly drip on your conciousness like Chinese Diarrhea torture.
    Okay, I'm being harsh (like Chow mein diarrhea), this film has its pro's - it's well shot, has excellent camerawork and stars a gorgeous and charismatic leading lady, the first twenty minutes or so is okay but then the craporama begins,,,
    No spoilers but there's zero character development, zero plot development and it raises more questions than it answers.
    I'm a huge fan of haunted house/ghost films but this slow-burner should have been left on the stove. For ever.

    This explanation of the film is thus:-

    Kelly McGillis' character is a psychic and she hints to Claire that people are born with the gift of seeing. Claire has the gift but is unaware of it, so hasn't learned how to cope with it. As the film progresses, her ability to see grows stronger. This means the manifistations become more extreme. So, because the last manifistation is so severe, she suffers a massive asthma attack from the fright and dies. Even though the ghost could not have physically harmed her.

    Still doesn't excuse the anti-climax of an ending. Good direction though.

    Btw, what is your gif from Dexter?

    the ending was lacking...but I thought it delivered a good atmosphere throughout the flick...

    Yeah, lots of moments of suspense, but that ending sucked.

    Meh. I thought Ti West's previous film HoD was overrated. The Innkeepers was refreshing IMO in the tired haunted house genre, and I consider it to be slightly above average.

    My only problem was Sara Paxton. The whole time I watched this movie I kept thinking she is way, way, WAY too hot to be working at a crappy hotel. 95% chance she would either be an actress (which she obviously is IRL), a model, a trophy wife, or a stripper. I know that sounds incredibly sexist and close minded, but it literally bothered me the entire film. If they would have chose a more moderately hot actress to play her part I could have bought it.

    The other thing that bothered me was her portrayal as a pseudo-Peter Pan type with seemingly no awareness or concerns about the opposite sex and a very childlike personality. She doesn't even seem to notice when her male coworker more or less akwardly proclaims his love for her.

    6/10
