Anyone who'd give it more than three stars is nuts

A lot of movies are like this. The journey of going through it is the fun part and you end up with a mediocre or lackluster ending. Then you go to bed and wake up the next morning, thinking that movie was really stupid and a waste of time. I think this movie is an utter waste of time. Watch something else. The only redemption is the main character's body.

Skeleton Key

Good movie ! Good acting ! Hope they make a "REAL" sequel to this movie. This movie "Skeleton Key" is well acted and directed. Leaving you to want more..you hunger to find the sequel but you won't find it as yet.
I made the mistake of watching what I thought was the sequel but "John Johnson's Skeleton Key 2" IS NOT A SEQUEL to this movie.

The Skeleton Key is a tolerable piece of hoodoo hokum but there's a much better film struggling to get out. Along with a reasonably interesting story idea all the ingredients are present: The attractive female lead, the classy supporting cast, the atmospheric location, and some excellent cinematography. What's missing is tension. This is a slow-burner, and there's nothing wrong with that, except here the flame is barely alight at times. The first two-thirds of the movie are pretty uneventful and would have benefitted from a few good shocks to keep the audience awake. Despite a solid performance from Hudson she struggles to keep things moving with a plot that really needs winding up. The twist at the end is reasonably satisfying although the outcome will be at least partially divined by the observant viewer. Overall this isn't a bad film but it doesn't live up to it's potential.

Bought this movie for my wife as a gift. She watches it over and over when nothing is on TV.
