Hell Hotel: Not quite as hellish as some, but more than hellish enough for Claire and Luke.Though whether Madeline truly intended to harm Claire is unclear. Fright Deathtrap: The ghosts aren't able to do much more than move small objects and cause whispering on the physical plane, so Madeline and the dead guest have to rely on scaring Claire into tripping down stairs, and triggering an asthma attack.But one thing that's very easy to miss, even on repeated viewings, is the faint silhouette of Claire's ghost to the right of the window, who turns to look at the camera just before the door slams. It is very clearly set up to make the viewer tense up in anticipation of a Jump Scare-which does come just before the credits. Freeze-Frame Bonus: The very last shot of the film is an extended shot of an empty room in the inn.
Electromagnetic Ghosts: Claire and Luke use recording equipment to pick up electronic voice phenomena, or EVP.Driven to Suicide: The elderly gentleman guest out of loneliness to his wife's death.Downer Ending: Luke's lost both his friend Claire and, given that the inn is closing down, his job.Department of Redundancy Department: Claire stops in at a nearby coffee shop and notices one of their specials is called "The One-Eyed Cyclops" - she points out the redundancy, but the barista doesn't get it.
