The Innkeeper | Short Horror Film (2023)

[@josephwtaft]

Hello all. I hope you enjoyed the film. I was the writer/director, and I just want to take a moment to say just how much I love each and every person who worked on this production. We worked our collective BUTTS off. And made something we're all very proud of. We are thrilled to extend our art out to you all. Please let's know how you felt! 😃

I write short horror stories trying get our channel up soon. Mayb we can collaborate on a project. This was very good left comment above. Just needed decorate that hallway make it look scarier

[@pendambahidayah4712]

Maybe just left the paranormal be paranormal. Don't let any form of monster/demon/ghost to destroyed it. Good luck next time and keep up the good work 😊

First rule of contracting; don't allow small mistakes or misfortunes to turn into larger ones.Take a breath, don't get rattled,and if some set back makes you lose your composure, give it a rest to re evaluate the approach. Usually cursing or flailing is the sign of a rookie or unskilled laborer.Doing such work professionally is a mind set.

[@mistygreen7559]

That guy was a good actor.

Dope film..enjoyed it. My lady said I have to pay her a dollar for every F-Bomb..she’s a millionaire now

[@SMtWalkerS]

The old man was just trying to go about his job and get things done. Then, here comes along a something, a big scary something, death perhaps? Don't you hate when that happens? Trying to throw a monkey wrench into the old man's workday. Loved the story, very atmospheric, and loved the old man, just doing his solitary and lonely job, uttering lots of curses and expletives, until he is rudely interrupted. By whatever the heck that thing was. Really good.

They say, anything worth having is worth working for. An this is what happens when you doing something that u love. They say if u find something that like & it pays the bills, then you will never work a day in your life. So don't let nothing in between u & your dream. Great picture!👌. Keep up the good work 👍. 5:37

[@michaelfelsinger-k2i]

Scary, and realistic ! Great atmosphere, terrific acting which didn't look like acting . Very impressive ! Thank you for this short film, and hope it generates many more views .

[@467-k1m]

Kudos to the lighting & the camera work. EVERYTHING was perrrrrrrrrrfect.

[@Ingothnia]

Funny character and good acting. Everything was done well here.

[@sabrinatscha2554]

Great! Thank you 🎃

[@CAMBY608]

I love shorts...and especially horror ones. I love the work you put into this....all of you! I did wonder if he lived at the end, or if we were to imply he was going to die; I'll go with that....I'll decide and say he made it out alive. :) As far as the swearing, I have no probs with...it's the character of the guy....he's by himself...people do curse this much, especially when alone.

[@MelissaM.3121]

Awesome work by all! I enjoyed everything about it, right down to the song! ❤❤❤Keep up the good work😊

[@richardbrowning9953]

Very suspenseful need a part two to see if he survives the night 👻👍👍

[@firadelshanteis1526]

Loved it!! Amazing job by all!

[@georginaking5968]

Like the swearing 🤬 the guy used 😂cos really that's how old men like him talk 😂 I felt sad for him wen he got stuck in the lift with no phone left on the work table and no cigarette cos the lighter gas run out 😱 ohhh man what a bummer 😂😂😂 and I really did like the song at the end ❤ guys great film ❤

[@magic.marmot]

This was really good. Thank you.

[@ebonyf2251]

OG on this film funny as Hell😂😂😂 I damn near watch one a day or night just for a laugh

[@robertburatt5981]

Very well done. Glad the innkeeper got to live!!!!

[@stealthragnarr2644]

Nice One 😊😊

[@KarinaArklie]

Fantastic actor, and probably a really nice bloke in reall life, he does swear a lot but I like him and I like the film. 😅

[@tsisto0511]

Luved it only thing i would have done is added cobwebbing around light fixtures and corners n the hallway and had those construction lights flashing on & off. I was cracking up when he said ringy dingy. Excellent main character playing his part. Enjoyed this

[@kennc6474]

He talks like he was a roofer before he was an inn keeper lol

[@WillRothMusic]

🔥🔥🔥

[@josephwtaft]

Keep the damn lights on!

[@tornwars]

DAMN KIDS!

[@vanessaconvard3894]

Very likeable character. I know a lot of others weren’t into the level of f-bombs, but I found it fitting for the character. I really liked the ending too. We don’t “see” what happens but I think we can deduce pretty well. In just a few minutes I feel like I KNOW this dude and his life. Well done.

[@PaulHFleming]

That Storage facility is perfect location for horror story. And probably didn't cost much rent out entire location.😊😂

[@eaglevision9791]

The acting was decent. The setting and tone of the film were good. The camera work was good. The worst part…….the story itself.

[@TaftysGuitars]

❤❤❤❤❤😮

[@Cricket9579]

Awesome movie, loved it!!! thank-you and keep up the amazing work :)

[@dawnrosecrants8919]

Loved it. The old guy was badass. 👍

[@Zukkoyaki]

Now that was some authentic dialogue 😂

[@zoezzzarko1117]

Is this about a guy who beat death during an electrocution incident as a dedicated curmudgeon caretaker at an Inn he's worked at his whole life ??? Did i get this plot right? Someone please help me with this ha 🙏🙏😇 I'm watching this with a KILLER MIGRAINE at 1:38 am because I'm in so much pain that I can't sleep... Or THINK .... ha. So please have some mercy when resounding to my comment !! Ha 😳😣😢🤣🤣🤣🙏😇🕊💞❣💕❤💜🔥

[@TrevorBarre]

One word. SILLY.

[@pommydiva1]

first saign of madness - talking to yourself. I call an Inn a pub, what building is this ?

[@markferguson3745]

I think that dated saying has been largely disproven.Popularized by those incapable of spending time with themselves, not all people were designed to be social animals.

[@agoodgurl2k]

Please tell me the actor playing the main character does voice overs, too!!!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾♥️

[@nancygutkowski1256]

Awesome 🎉 very suspenseful & great acting 😊😊

[@montecheney6688]

Would it be at all possible to include just a bit more swearing? 😂

[@-redacted_by_youtube]

Fuck yeah!!

[@zoezzzarko1117]

Omgggggggg i love this fucking comment 🤣🤣🥰💖💞❣💕💜💕❤💯💜🔥🔥🔥

[@deathnotedevil]

im so rekt ibthought this was animated at fjrst

[@MrJohngrissom]

I thinking smoking should not be allowed

[@josephwtaft]

🤣🤣 Same

[@Mashy8722]

Umm…ok 😂

[@ChaCha.44]

Main character wasn't really likable, so I didn't really care what happened to him (did he die at the end? All we know is that his lighter did). I think he said the "F-word" more than anything else 😂 Also, the "monster" looked like he was wearing a costume someone's mom made for their kid. Didn't find the monster very scary. Overall though much respect for all the hard work that everyone must've put into this.

[@susannoulton7634]

You did well for the work you put into this, but sadly not scary enough and to much swearing. Other wise not bad.

[@daniellebyers352]

Wait. Sooo... he's dead because his lighter doesn't work?! But the lady talked to him. When did he die?!!!! Maybe he was electrocuted and/or fell off the ladder? The guy's a jerk so maybe the monster is his Karma?? What's with the light bulb? 🤷

[@horsluva0758]

Too much foul language.. ugh, smh

[@467-k1m]

They warned you. Suppose you didn't get the memo.

[@Mashy8722]

lol so you’re either a child or an old person. Cause those are the only people that complain about too much cussing 😂

[@catherinebreitfeller669]

Too much cursing - not needed to make scary show.

[@marcy6161]

I got so bored I stopped watching. I even tried fast forwarding through these draggy mood scenes, but just gave up at 16:19. I couldn't stand another boring minute.

[@michaelperez8519]

This was such trash!!!!! Ugh

[@raymondlin8728]

Too much cursing. F f f f f f f f f f

[@derickmason5506]

Not really sure?? Lots of Rob Zombie undertones.....didn't quite understand the storyline?? Good luck to ya!!

[@sabrinatscha2554]

I didn’t quite understand it either. Is he dead?

[@t-blade]

@@sabrinatscha2554 I think this is open to interpretation. Actually one of the better horror shorts I’ve watched recently. I’m quite surprised that he didn’t lose his head after all this and still attempted to light a cigarette lol. Maybe the cultist thingy will eventually let go, dunno. Kinda feels like a hopeless situation but he might pull it off.

[@BetoRobertson-hz1fj]

The script must of have not been to hard to write because all the guy did was walk around and say the f word. He said the f bomb every other word. I don't know how you thought that was cool but it sucked.

[@shalondadean8026]

Ok first of all, did the cussing man die? I don’t get it?? 👀🫤🤷🏿. wtf did the phantom do to the man? This sucked big time 😡
