The Skeleton Key (May contain spoilers)

So whos' seen it? I thought it was pretty decent, but I loved the non-Hollywood, non-happy ending. As the movie was going on, I was thinking it pretty average, but that ending kicked it up a few notches in my book. What'd everyone else think?

*saw it,enjoyed it...and like you-was not expecting much and was surprised it was good....I liked the twist at the end as well,really didn't expect that.

One of the better recent atempts from Hollywood. It wasnt amazing or anything, but certainly better than most of the crap that hits theatres nowadays. The ending was good/unexpected, and it reminded me to some extent of Angel Heart. Not a whole lot, but the same kind of concept.

6.5/10

There is something infinitely appealing about voodoo.
Maybe Hollywood needs to take note.
Angel Heart was a Great Movie.

I agree, but the book absolutly puts it to shame. Amazing movie, even better book.

Angel Heart is a voodoo movie?

I may have to check that one out.... I liked this Skeleton Key and I LOVE Serpent and the Rainbow.

I wonder how fact based that one is... It says it's based on a true story but so does Amityville and TCM and we all know how factful those two are.... But fot some reason this one strikes me as though it actually could be pretty close to the real story. Anyone know?

There was a real professor who did intensive research, for a University, into a drug that causes paralysis and low vital signs....aka-zombie state.
If I find out more-I'll post it.

If you go to howstuffworks.com, look for "Supernatural", click on "More", you'll find a whole diatribe on zombies. I'm too lazy to read through the whole thing. I know it talked about puffer fish and some kind of frog.
