The Skeleton Key

Great all around; acting, story, pace, atmosphere. Watching a 2nd time is as fun if not more than the 1st.

I don't get when people say this movie suffers from haunted house horror movies clichés because it definitely doesn't. It's an interesting, innovative and well-rounded story that doesn't scare, but definitely creeps you with its great cinematography and brooding ambiance, solid performances all around and [spoiler] also for the fact that the movie doesn't have a happy ending at all for the protagonist [/spoiler]. And, hey, some might even thank this movie for what is considered one of the best horror movies of the last decade: [spoiler] Get Out [/spoiler].

Far, far better than I was expecting! A great psychological thriller movie with a unique twist at the end. Definitely worth watching!

Incredibly underrated. Great tension building flick! Saw it in theaters and loved it right away, it's a shame it didn't get the love it deserved.

So many horror movies are so copy paste and remakes and reboots that I love movies when they try something different or a-typical. It is refreshing.

Even though I'm not a big fan of movies that feature the occult or voodoo or "swamp" horror for that matter, this was a creepy, moody surprise. Kate Hudson and Gena Rowlands are pretty much a two-woman show, and John Hurt does some decent gasping and grunting in an effort to communicate his knowledge of the evil that lurks within the old mansion.

There are some surprising twists and turns but it's a mostly low key affair. There isn't a lot of action, but the characters keep things interesting and there are some scary images and good editing that keep you on edge.

Surprisingly good and very intriguing horror thriller! Some nice plot twists included.

Such magic-horror a'la voodoo, but it remains a mystery for quite a long time what it is about, which is a plus.

It started very well, got a little off in the middle and the ending saved everything, I loved it!

An under-rated movie that has way less good reviews than Get Out. Despite being very similar and “spoiler”, this has a less happy ending. So this movie probably will haunt you more when it is over.
