Kurt Loder Reviews Roadie and The Innkeepers

|

Roadie, about a laid off roadie for Blue Oyster Cult, seems unfocused at first, and a little under-powered, writes Kurt Loder, but it snaps to life in a long, lacerating scene set in a cheap motel room, where three characters share a booze-and-cocaine approximation of a rock-star revel. For a purported horror movie, meanwhile, The Innkeepers is woefully low on horror. Could its enthusiasts be only recently arrived on the horror scene? Am I missing something? Or is there just something missing?
