I thought it was a pretty slow, boring film, at best. What I found really shocking about it, though, was its implicit approval of lynching: the slaves (or were they hired help? It's been awhile, so I don't remember) were evil and threatening the children, so by lynching them, the white people were doing something that the movie deems to be good!

Amazing. I wonder if people think these things through before they make movies like that.

Seems like an accurate portrayal of south US to me ;)

Saw it in theatres twice. Not so much because it was a great movie, more because of poor scheduling on my part (Went with a friend one night, then like a week later another friend wanted to see a movie, so I tagged along not knowing what we were going to, haha)

Anyway, I enjoyed it both times. Wouldnt buy it and really have no desire to watch it again, but it was alot better than most of the other Hollywood horror crap that was coming out around that time. Decent story and atmosphere, passable acting, and a twist that actually took most of the movie to figure out.:).

I remember this movie not so much because it was good but because of the bad day that led up to my seeing it...but that's a whole other can of worms. As for the movie, I was impressed with Kate Hudson's acting, but Gena Rowlands kept me watching. She was a little over-the-top, but in a good way. The whole voodoo thing gets me every time, and the ending still caught me by surprise despite having seen a couple of trailers.

I own The Skeleton Key.
I thought it was really good/interesting.
Unlike some of the newer movies.
I loved the ending, too.
I recommend it, although lots of people i talk to don't like it.
See for yourself!

I enjoyed The Skeleton, but for southern creepiness, I really loved The Gift. It's more suspense than horror, but it does have a supernatural element. Sam Raimi directed so you can't go wrong there.
