6/10.

Not much plot to offer about a dead mid-century woman who's out to avenge for her ex-lovers in a hotel. The only other clue you'll get besides the decent boo moments like piano playing by itself and the usual banging and clanging of objects is
SPOILER: show
the mysterious low-toned old man customer who says that he wants to live in a special room that reminded him of the old days in his honeymoon like deja vu and the 2nd half of the movie, there's something NOT RIGHT about that old man


And, the ending, I didn't expect the heroine chick Sara Paxton (who does resemble and talk like Reese Witherspoon)
SPOILER: show
to be killed off by the ghost bride


The unintentional boo moments end up in a brief giggles humor attempt like the annoying Innkeeper Luke who loves to play scary stuff on her. I liked the credits sequence that made it feel like I'm watching a black/white horror old school. Esp. the chapters 1, 2 and epilogue flashscreens. Fairly decent but not great for a late-night scared shitless mood.

And the director of this is the same guy responsible for my 2009 fave, "House of the Devil."
