The Innkeepers - 07/10 - Recensie van Chris R., ingevoerd op (Engels)
I have long held a mixed opinion for the horror genre because the esthetics of the whole genre have changed. Today a modern horror flick gets most of the scares from in your face scares and their scores follow suit. Now Ti West has carved himself a name in the Horror genre by conveying more atmosphere and tension than other directors. The movie Then Innkeepers pays tribute to the horror movies of the earlier years. I'm talking like the early years of horror movies and the score to the movie pays tribute to those movies.

The main theme is presented right of the bat on the score in the cue(The Innkeepers). This central theme is representative of the inn itself and it resident ghost Madeline. Played with a heavy bass string ostinato and the upper violins moving up and down in minor steps lead softly too one the more memorable theme for a haunting in a long time. Played with a kind of menacing kind of movement I haven't heard since Jerry Goldsmith.

In fact Jeff Grace treats the score with the kind of soothing instrumentation that made Goldsmith's The Haunting such a treat. There in lies my only real problem with the score, where the first half of the score builds the tension which worked miracles in the movie never really made an impact in the score. But thankfully the score isn't really all that long and the last half rages with the kind of propulsive energy that really makes the ending to the movie so frightening.

Though in the end if you aren't into the kind of minimalistic horror film that this movie is than the score will go unnoticed, which is a shame because both the Inn and Score let loose more of a personality than the inn's two awkward stars.
The Innkeepers - 06/10 - Recensie van Atila Paton, ingevoerd op (Engels)
American composer Jeff Grace used to be an assistant to the prominent Howard Shore commissioned to projects like Gangs of New York and the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy where they worked closely. Grace’s work include Meek’s Cutoff, The House Of The Devil, Joshua and Trigger Man. Since 1998 he has been involved with the horror film genre so that makes him a highly sought after composer when a horror project is tabled. The Innkeeepers plot is essentially about discovery, two hotel employees are determined to set the grounds from the place and to prove once and for all that the place is indeed haunted. Therefore the whole soundtrack revolves about mystery and contemplation of a secret, especially when old guests seem to turn up for a nostalgic check-in. Secrecy is themed on The Innkeepers with the usual opening titles hooks and a somewhat Jaws homage, probably the best track on the album summing up the whole film. Right Behind You is the good example on the looking-over-the shoulder scenes and unsettledness. Technically The Garage is special in terms of momentarily using The Innkeepers leitmotif and then shifting to a different direction that leads to the melancholic and suspenseful The Story of Madeline. The Pendulum Breaks presents varied dynamics and for the first time brings an action film feeling to the soundtrack. Jeff Grace did a good job relating the scenes, plot and story to the soundtrack combining the usual horror film elements but maybe he forgot to explore more the personal side that is present on Claire’s Room, The Story of Madeline and Claire Falls.
The Innkeepers - 06/10 - Recensie van Kristof Janssens, ingevoerd op (Nederlands)
Zou deze jonge Amerikaanse componist fan zijn van Jeff Buckley? Misschien is het gewoon toeval dat Jeff's achternaam overeenstemt met het meesterlijke debuut van Buckley? Toeval of niet, het is alleszins een naam die in het oog springt...

Nochtans is Jeff Grace nog onbekend en onbemind voor het grote publiek. In het verleden werkte hij vooral samen met Howard Shore als 'music editor' voor bijvoorbeeld The Lord of The Rings trilogie. Als componist kennen we hem vooral van zijn film scores voor de horrorfilms The Roost (2005), Meek's Cutoff (2010) en Stake Land (2010).

Of Jeff Grace ooit een status zal verkrijgen als die van John Carpenter of Bernard Herrmann is al maar de vraag. Eén ding is zeker, de muziek voor deze horrorprent laat geen sterke indruk na. Naast een aannemelijk hoofdthema en enkele sterke strijkpartijen zoals in 'Epilogue' en 'End Titles' heeft deze score weinig te bieden. De karakeristieke spanningopbouwende muziek die zowat elke horrorthriller kenmerkt en die ook hier te horen valt, is net iets te eentonig. In verscheidene tracks wordt een beperkt aantal noten uitgerokken om de spanning op te bouwen. Ongetwijfeld past dit perfect bij de scènes van de film, maar aangenaam om naar te luisteren is het allesbehalve. De lange noten beginnen al snel te vervelen. Misschien heeft het gewoon te maken met het filmgenre...

“This is a great release, highlighting another impressive score by Jeff Grace.” (Movie Wave)

Winner of Festival Trophy for ‘Best Musical Score’ at Screamfest, 2011

Ever since composer Jeff Grace (Stake Land, The Last Winter, The House of the Devil) and director Ti West took their first impressive steps with The Roost in 2005, MovieScore Media has been among their most devoted fans and supporters. This is the fourth Grace/West score that we release and we are proud to witness the rise and growing success of these two great talents.

Jeff Grace’s music for The Innkeepers is ingeniously atmospheric and somewhat old-school in its orchestral approach, eerie, yet quite melodic – there is something about it that reminds us of Jerry Goldsmith in the 70s and 80s. The quality of the score has already been confirmed at Screamfest where Jeff Grace won the festival trophy for ‘Best Musical Score’. As with many films Grace has scored, a lot of reviews of The Innkeepers single out the score as one of its strongest elements and one the fits Ti West’s directing style extremely well. As music on its own it stands out as original, fresh and inventive. And… scary as hell!
