TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 11 The Skeleton Key is an atmospheric supernatural thriller that, while imperfect, still manages to be entertaining and engaging. The screenplay has moments that feel uneven or misplaced, occasionally pulling you out of the story, but the film’s eerie tone keeps it afloat. Kate Hudson delivers a strong, committed performance that brings fear, curiosity, and emotional depth to her character, making her the anchor of the entire film. The supporting cast enhances the unsettling environment through subtle tension and careful delivery. The director ties the visual style and pacing together well, creating a moody Southern Gothic setting that becomes one of the film’s strongest elements. Even though the script could benefit from tighter structure, the film offers enough suspense, mystery, and atmosphere to keep viewers invested. It’s not flawless, but it’s a spooky and enjoyable watch worth checking out for fans of supernatural thrillers. See more Stacey K Nov 12 The movie is okay. I remember when I first saw it I thought it was alright, the acting is good, the concept is good but it felt a little hollow. It felt like the parts of the movie were there just to make it something but it still felt hollow. As I get older though I STILL think of this movie as it is one of the only movies that addresses magic and it's belief in it as a negative. Most movies have magic saves the day, magic sets you free. In this one, magic is a trap you create for yourself. I was thinking of it in reference to the natives selling all their land for a dollar, and at first they didn't believe but they were convinced and it trapped them. It was just a piece of paper. So, it would have been a 2 or 3 but now I think it's 4. See more Chase G. @gundchase Oct 30 The low ratings for this one is perplexing. Very atmospheric. Solid acting. And one of the best twist endings out there! See more Jo P @JoParkerBear Oct 24 Is this a great horror movie? Absolutely not lol. But it is really creepy and the great performances make it very watchable. I’ve gone back to it a few times over the years.

The story and characters are great and Gina Rowlands really steals the film. Love Kate Hudson in this its a film we revisit often especially around Halloween.
