The Innkeepers

As the last days of the historic Yankee Pedlar Inn begin, the current caretakers Claire and Luke reflect on the hotel's haunted legacy. Their curiosity peaks as they delve into the tragic story of Madeline O'Malley, a bride whose sorrow is intricately tied to the inn's history.

Claire, an asthmatic college dropout, teams up with Luke, who maintains a website documenting the inn's paranormal occurrences. Both share an intense fascination and dedication to uncovering the hotel's mysteries, leading them to explore the supernatural legends.

The mood shifts when Leanne, a former actress turned medium, checks into the hotel. Her charismatic presence intrigues Claire, who is initially caught off guard by Leanne's transition from the silver screen to spiritual connections.

As night falls, the hotel experiences a surge of paranormal activity, including doors opening on their own and ghostly whispers filling the air. Claire's anxiety grows as Leanne conducts spirit communications, intensifying the eerie atmosphere.

Driven by curiosity, Claire ventures into the basement, drawn by the whispers of the past. It becomes apparent that the hotel's dark history is desperately trying to emerge, with secrets buried deep beneath its foundation.

Claire and Luke use their recording equipment to capture the supernatural sounds echoing through the inn. Each eerie voice they uncover reveals more about the anguished spirits, pulling them further into the haunted narrative of the hotel.

The atmosphere turns chilling when Luke makes a shocking discovery: a suicide note beside the body of an elderly guest in the honeymoon suite. This tragic event adds a new layer of horror to the hotel's already haunted reputation.

Rattled by the findings, Claire feels growing dread as Leanne warns her to flee the inn before it’s too late. Yet, Claire's insatiable curiosity leads her to ignore the warning and revisit the basement where the spirits await.

In the basement, Claire has a fateful encounter with the spirit of Madeline. Overwhelmed by the haunting and unable to escape, Claire suffers a severe asthma attack, highlighting her vulnerability amidst the escalating supernatural chaos.

The following morning, Luke recounts the devastating events of the previous night, helpless as he realizes Claire was trapped in the cellar. The weight of despair looms large as they prepare to seek help from law enforcement.

As they leave, Leanne expresses her condolences, urging Luke to confront the reality that Claire's fate may be dire. The atmosphere feels heavy with loss as they acknowledge the deep connection Claire forged with the spirits of the inn.

In a haunting closing scene, Claire's faint spirit is seen gazing from her bedroom window. The door slams shut behind her, symbolizing her final departure from the living world as the screen fades to black, leaving viewers with an unsettling sense of her unresolved fate.
