Interesting. There is another movie Get Out in 2017, with an inverse story. In DouBan Movie (a Chinese IMDB), these two movies get similar scores: 7.8 (170k review) VS 7.5 (120k review). But in IMDB, it's 6.5 (95k review) VS 7.7(270k review). For me, these two movies are both with good editors and perfect performance.To be honest, The Skeleton Key makes more sense aesthetically although it's not as politically correct as Get Out. When Hollywood is boosting the African's greatness, I still believe that much more African people wanna become white, while less white people wanna exchange for an African body.

I am a long term fan of horror movies, even as a 10 year old I remember watching horror movies or series.This movie has at least two elements to make almost any fan of the genre happy: the actors and their acting plus and mostly, the ending, the surprisingly terrifying ending. I wish I could say a little more about it without spoiling it but I think it's practically impossible.I'm also a huge fan of Kate Hudson, I'm from the same generation as her and I love her acting style and her personality and in this movie she is amazing as usual when it comes to her acting. The rest of the cast are also excellent but in my case at least, I like to watch this movie especially because of Kate AND that incredible ending.I know it's 2017 now, I should've written this a long time ago, but I hope that if anything, this will suit the newer generations of horror movie fans.

I watched this one when it first came out and loved it, so I wanted to give it a rewatch to see if I still enjoyed it as much…. And I did! I have a thing for Southern mansions with big porches, and if you mix in some Hoodoo or Voodoo, even better.Don't really want to say too much about the story or the ending, because the ending is what really made this movie stand out to me. During my first watch it wasn't until really close to the end when I finally figured out what was happening, which made it so enjoyable.Some might classify this as more of a thriller, but there are Gothic horror as well as regular horror elements to it. I could see a couple of scenes that would make people jump, and some of the images, like when Caroline's eyes and lips were sewn shut could be seen as horror. As for the Gothic horror, there's the big creepy mansion far away from any neighbors. And a female caregiver who moves in, and has a very small support system, so people won't really wonder/care if anything happens to her. As well as the possibility of ghosts, and other things that go bump in the night. I highly recommend this movie if you've never seen it before. And if you have, and enjoyed it, I would definitely say to give it a rewatch.

This movie.... Oh this movie.... It starts so good with the occult stuff. But there are some moments... They reduced my IQ or something.First things first! You just immobilized the bad old lady. What you do? 1) Leave her and go away 2) Leave her and go away with the crippled old man 3) Kill her before she kills you 4) Restrain her somehow and then go away taking your time And yes, the best character in a horror movie picks the second option... Either way, you manage to get away without the old man, what you do? 1) Go to the police and say that someone just tried to kill you 2) You go to your best friend and explain everything to her 3) You go to the one man you know for a week or so, associated with the bad old lady. YES, she picked 3 for some reason. Next, you throw the bad old lady from the stairs, and she came all the way up without legs, what do you do? 1) Kill her, because she cant even move 2) Restrain her 3) Run with fear somewhere to do spooky stuff inside a place with candles, ready for a ritual. YES, our character chooses the third option again... Last but not least, the spooky stuff can hurt you if you believe in them. What do you do? 1) You are somewhat of a doctor and don't believe in these idiotic things. Plus you explained to your best friend the placebo effect. 2) You believe in the occult stuff and get yourself in danger. 3) You are an open minded being as you said in the first half of the movie, and thus you don't believe in these stuff again. And yes she picked 2 and somehow died.Well this movie has a very bad script, and the main character is not logical at all.... Pretty much disappointing movie, don't bother watch it. The actors though did a good job in this one.
