The New York Times: THE INNKEEPERS featured in “Stream These Spooky Haunted House Movies” list

The Innkeepers’ (2011)

Indie director Ti West turned to the haunted house movie with this throwback about an old New England inn on its last night before shutting down. The wage-slave banter between Sara Paxton and Pat Healy as the stewards of this nearly empty hotel recalls “Clerks,” but West dredges up a dark history that expresses itself one final time before the sun comes up. As he does with his retro-’80s horror movie, “The House of the Devil,” West delivers a slow-as-molasses film that builds dread deliberately until its explodes in the final act.

at the Woodstock Film Festival
Q&A with Fessenden and Annie Nocenti before the show

WENDIGO
stars Patricia Clarkson, Jake Webber,
Eric Per Sullivan and John Speredakos.

“…creates tension and fear out of thin air…”
-Roger Ebert CHICAGO SUN TIMES

“Fessenden approaches the themes and thrills of the classic American horror movies
through a determinedly modern approach, as if John Cassavetes had been working for
Universal in the early 30’s.”
– NEW YORK TIMES

“A lean, brainy horror fable … blurs the distinction between reality and myth,
spiraling us into a harrowing deluge of panic and fright.”
– VARIETY

GEP pal Will Bates talks with Film Music Mag

Before “Away,” you took a far more nightmarish space trip with “Nightflyers.” Could you talk about your eerie work for the show?

That was also a Mike Cahill project (he directed the pilot). We talked a lot about finding a sound that could express fear but also give a sense of movement, rotation and a feeling of distance. I met a guy in Michigan who builds these extraordinarily complex hurdy gurdys, and he built me one which ended up being very prominently featured in that show that was manipulated beyond recognition! But it has that haunting feeling of oscillation we were looking for. That score was really interesting for me. It has this sci-fi horror element of course but also this feeling of loss and tragedy. That’s something I learned from working with horror maestro Larry Fessenden on “Depraved”; horror as tragedy.
