GREAT MOVIE AND SCARY-- GREAT STORY LINE TOO!!

User rating: September 2, 2005

Excellent movie, not the best I`ve seen but still pretty great. I`m one of the few that has a true appreciation for "Ghost Ship" too. I wasn`t able to predict the ending of "Skeleton Key," and that`s what I look for. The suspense is low-key which requires much more thought than traditional thrillers. The acting was phenomenal compared to the million-dollar blockbusters this summer (may I mention "Star Wars" perhaps...). I saw this movie two days before Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, and I`m ready to see it again in support of the mysterious culture of that area so well portrayed in the movie.

Well, this is not an insult to any body but ive seen Steven King`s SleepWalkers and that was scary! This is a disney movie compared to Steven King`s SleepWalkers. But it was still a good movie.

This was an insult to anyone with an IQ over 20. Poor excuse for a plot. It wasn`t boring, it`s just that the completely stupid ending ruined it.

Not clever at all. I`m so disappointed I wasted my time on this movie. I`ve seen about 10 movies this year and not one of them was worth it. I`m ready to stop going to movies altogether if Hollywood can`t come up with better stories than this. The only thing good was the acting. The talent is there, use it better Hollywood!

I heard there was a great twist ending. I`m still waiting. What I saw was predictable, I had it figured out in the first 15 minutes.

HORRIBLE! I like Kate Hudson and she did a good job, but the story was totally lacking.

I thought this film was going to be a little better than what it turned out to be. But it was still pretty good, and better than Dark Water. The ending is a very big twist, one of the best twists and shockers in a while. But that`s about the only good thing about the film. I would deffinetly have to say that this is Kate Hudson`s best film yet, she played a very convincing role. If you want to see this film in theatres, I`d recommend a matinee.

Nice story line. However the movie was very slow and I almost fell asleep. I loved then ending. Ha! Ha! Ha!
