The Innkeepers (2011)

Director: Ti West

Starring: Sara Paxton, Pat Healy and Kelly McGillis

MPAA Rating: R (for some bloody images and language)

My Rating: 6/10

Synopsis from IMDb: On the last weekend the Yankee Pedlar Inn is open, two employees are determined to reveal the hotel's haunted past begin to experience disturbing events.

Review:
This was the first Ti West film I've ever seen, and while impressed with the ending I felt the movie to be extremely slow. The hotel was haunted, everyone knew it but no one had the proof, until Claire (Sara Paxton) decided she wanted to find it before the place closed for good.

I recommend this one but you have to have patience, the initial hour is very slow but once you hit the climax, it's worth it to finish it off.

Sorority Row (2009)

Director: Stewart Hendler
Cast: Adam Berry, Marie BlanchardBriana Evigan, Margo Harshman, Rumer Willis, Jamie Chung, Leah Pipes, Audrina Patridge, Matt O'Leary, Debra Gordon, Carrie Fisher

"Sorority Row" directed by Stewart Hendler, is about a group of sorority sisters who try to cover up the death of their house-sister after a prank gone wrong, only to be stalked by a serial killer. Originally, they try tricking a guy into thinking he killed his girlfriend, then take him into the middle of nowhere to 'dismember" the body, only to reveal the prank. However, the prank goes horribly wrong, and they're forced to drop the girl down an old mine shaft while keeping quiet to save their futures. A year later, at a welcoming party for the new sisterhood, they end up being haunted by those events.

How far can a group of sorority sisters go before mentioning the death of their house-sister?
