The only guests at the hotel are a bitchy mother and her brat son, “Gozer and her demon seed,” Luke affectionately refers to them as, and an over-the-hill actress, Leanne Rease-Jones (played by an over-the-hill Kelly McGillis), who Claire is stuttering and star-struck over. The third floor of the inn has already been closed down with the rooms stripped. The H-Bomb: It’s the final weekend before the Yankee Pedlar Inn, an old New England hotel, closes its doors for good, and the only two employees on staff are young cutie Claire (Sara Paxton), and Luke (Pat Healy), an aging slacker who is well past his prime. Why did she keep seeing Madeline when the spiritualist said Madeline was not one of the ghosts there? That reinforces my idea that all of this was Madeline’s over active imagination and her many times of spooking herself and over reacting.“You mustn’t ever go down into the basement…” Why they were trying to warn Madeline? Why was she and accident? What was the accident, because the girl kept seeing a Madeline who had been hanged in her wedding dress and yet had blood all on her face.

I still want to know why there was ever mention of three ghosts who were not Madeline being in the hotel. She has an asthma attack and her inhaler is on the other side of the door, having been dropped in her mad flight to get to the room and secure herself inside.

It is really her coworker answering her cries for help and trying to get her to unlock the door. Well, Claire thinks it the ghost banging on the door and after her. Lee kept telling her the basement was a very bad place for her and she needed to get out of there. Through the entire movie, Claire was puffing on an inhaler. The day before she had chained and locked the alley access to the basement. She races to the storm cellar doors in the alley and locks herself in that room, screaming for her coworker. She totally freaks out, thinking the ghost of the old man is coming after her. She looks for the older woman in the basement. Claire is so freaked out, she goes to leave but can’t find Lee. How much more obvious could they make it.Ħ. Old man, small bag, willing to take the honeymoon suite even those all that is left in it is a bed, all alone. What was going to happen to happen to him was terribly obvious. By the photo of Madeline, he would have had to have been well over 80. But he wasn’t quiet old enough based on the legend. The implication was that perhaps he was Madeline’s fiance. She takes up sheets and he mentions that he spent his honeymoon there. Claire decided they might as well let him stay there. An old man shows up and wants a particular room on the floor that was already stripped and mostly emptied. Luke went to repeat her EVP experiment and he heard the piano too. But what about the piano music she heard and the keys she saw depress themselves? Still her imagination. This brings up the issue, is it really just Claire’s over active imagination. And the female lead (Claire) only ever sees Madeline.Ĥ. She said they tried to warn her (Madeline). The older actress (Lee) turned New Age healing guru says there are three ghosts there and not Madeline O’Malley.
#The innkeepers ending movie
(I was certain that when I was watching it that the movie said she was stood up but other sites say she was hanged on her wedding night.)ģ. I suspected he was lying about seeing the ghost and it turned out I was right. He seemed to have no real interest or enthusiasm for ghost hunting. The guy (Luke) working there, who was supposed to be all about the ghost hunting, managed a page about the haunting of the inn, and supposedly saw the ghost of the lady (Madeline O’Malley) who died there (after her fiance stood her up) was a total fake. Made for great summer jobs when you have to go back to college again in fall. If you own a small hotel and it is going out of business for good, would you really take a trip to Barbados and leave only two staff members to man it 24 hours for the final weekend? It seemed all wrong to me, but I’ve worked at some jobs that were closing up when in college.
