The Innkeepers (2012)
"The Yankee Pedlar Inn" is closing down and two employees, Claire and Luke, are living there 'round the clock for its last few days in business. There's legend that a jilted bride haunts the premises and Luke claims to have seen her. They would like to capture proof of the haunting before time runs out.
What a great setup! And what a complete letdown. The story goes nowhere until the very last scene and its scares depend so heavily on the stupidity of those involved that it was difficult to feel anything other than annoyance. Avoiding danger would've been so easy. Also, the age difference between the two leads was so large that his interest in her felt super pervy.
