Maybe Woulda Been Better With A Regular Key |
|
It's not like this is a bad movie, but I don't know what there really is to say about it. It exists. Kate Hudson does her job well as she usually does. There was nothing too spectacluar about this, but nothing that made me so miserable that I'd rather switch bodies with a 75 yr old woman so I could get outta here faster. |

I Almost Like That Hoodoo That You Do |
|
While Skeleton Key is a pretty creepy film, the plot borders on the ridiculous trying to keep up with it. Horror movies don't necessarily need to be simple, but they don't have to be overly complicated either. You may as well jot down notes along the way to keep everything straight. It's not a complete mess, and the ending is better than expected, but overall I can't recommend this to a casual viewer, as they will likely be fed up before its done. |

In the attic are all kinds of strange things, and strangest of all and old record called 'The Conjure of Sacrifice'. Caroline begins to suspect something isn't going right within the home.
