neutral · AI labelView post →just saw THE SKELETON KEY for the first time in who knows how long. This was not a movie made to be remembered, just to be seen in air conditioning during the summer of 2005 and tide you over until the next creaky old house came along. It does a respectable job you neither love nor dislike
neutral · AI labelView post →howl's moving castle??? ok i know its based on a book series and i will read it eventually but--imagine waking up one day and half your lifespan is GONE. thats literally the ending of the horror movie The Skeleton Key!! the way that would fuck with me!!!
neutral · AI labelView post →THE SKELETON KEY isn’t a great film, but it sure is a watchable one. A staple of the 2000s-era female-led thriller, some of the race stuff hasn’t aged super well, but Rowlands and Hudson sniping at each other is hella fun.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Skeleton Key was so underrated and probably a bit before it’s time. GET OUT took a lot of elements from that movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Just Watched SPELL (2020) I love a good Hoodoo movie, this one is great. Very much in line with The Skeleton Key (2005) this one is fun

positive · AI labelView post →Film Review | The Skeleton Key is an incredibly effective and creepy PG-13 horror movie #theskeletonkey #familyhorror #horrorfam #horrorsky
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched The Empty Man (2020) and was really digging it until the last 20 minutes made me not care about anything that happened in the entire movie — wish they’d gone more of a Wicker Man (1973) or The Skeleton Key (2005) route!
neutral · AI labelView post →The Skeleton Key was a much better movie too. One of my favorites
positive · AI labelView post →God, man, why would you ever leave Twitter? Did you see that epic David Frum post? Elon is talking about how much he loves the movie “The Skeleton Key.” There are three separate viral posts going around of MS Paint recreations of SpongeBob gifs. For me and my fellow 37-year-olds, this is it!
neutral · AI labelView post →Backbeat is a movie that I remember exists about once a year, think "damn that sounds cool, I should watch it" and then I never watch it. I just listened to the Skeleton Key pod episode and not once did I ever think "I should watch this". Thanks for watching it so I don't have to.
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie #19 (Brian) The Skeleton Key - This one was a solid gothic hoodoo based entry. Claimed objectives 11 and 44 #CivilGoreHMC9
positive · AI labelView post →My editorial, "Deconstructing How ‘The Skeleton Key’ Depicts African Spiritual Beliefs (and 3 Films That Do It Better)" is up and running at #DreadCentral! I love this movie but African spiritual beliefs are used unfairly as shorthand for 'good' vs 'evil' in horror. Here's my take. #horrorsky
neutral · AI labelView post →Halloween movie #17 "The Skeleton Key" This wasn't so much "bad" as just "uninteresting". As I'm finding w/ other early 2000s horror, it's a bit too nice-looking & over-produced. It has no build of tension, no creepiness, no real "lore", if you will.
negative · AI labelView post →#31DaysofHorror #31DaysofHalloween Mama Cecile & Papa Justify are hoodoo practitioners in the film “The Skeleton Key.” Violet Devereaux: “All that circle there protects is you…from leaving… We've been waiting for you, Caroline. Waiting for you to believe. It doesn't work if you don't believe.”
neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah, I thought it was the kid too. I thought he was getting bullied and asked the aunt for help. I thought the movie was okay. "The Skeleton Key" was better.
positive · AI labelView post →Was half-assedly watching the Skeleton Key again, mostly because a) house porn and b) the soundtrack. And it still cracks me up how the MC is supposed to be from NJ. If that girl was really from Jersey, there would've been no movie. She would've been in her car speeding back up 95 so fast. 😂
neutral · AI labelView post →If you enjoy that route, I hope you know the movie __The Skeleton Key__. It has a similar plot. And the villain is far more competent than Keigetsu, with stronger world-building.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Skeleton Key looks like a Kate Hudson horror film from 2005 (with a Jenna Ortega sequel in 2025). I think you mean something else?
neutral · AI labelView post →I liked the idea behind The Skeleton Key very much. Cool movie. The Suel Lich of Dungeons&Dragons is similar, transferring its life force to different human hosts throughout time
positive · AI labelView post →Scary movie Watch party is going to be next Tuesday, October 28th! Voting for the movie up now on mi instaaa but the choices are: + It Follows + The Skeleton Key + The VVitch + Let The Right One In Which do you wanna see most? 👻
neutral · AI labelView post →Have YOU seen 2005's The Skeleton Key? Directed by Iain Softley, it stars Kate Hudson, Gena Rowlands, John Hurt & Peter Sarsgaard. I think it's a cool, underseen film! We recently did an episode on it for Horror Movie Survival Guide, so check it out! youtube.com/shorts/VgtY0...

When I first heard about this movie 20 years ago, I mixed it up with news of a potential Stephen King Skeleton Crew adaptation, and will always be sad that it was not.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Skeleton Key is the best horror movie fr fr
positive · AI labelView post →2. The Skeleton Key I was into it for the first half, but the movie started blending into a strange reverse Get Out situation with a sprinkle of The Polar Express that just wasn't working for me lol. I didn't hate the ending, but it was just so bleak I didn't know how to feel after. 6/10
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching THE SKELETON KEY. I love this movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight's horror movie is The Skeleton Key. This underrated gem gets bonus points for the shots of New Orleans.
positive · AI labelView post →I was over this movie & annoyed with everyone who recommended it, but figured I’d finish it anyway. Glad I did because the ending is the best part. #movies #horror Check out The Skeleton Key on Reelgood. https://reelgood.com/movie/the-skeleton-key-2005

neutral · AI labelView post →It’s like that movie The Skeleton Key. You say it enough times, you start to believe it. (At least that’s my interpretation of it)
neutral · AI labelView post →I have been preaching the cinematic greatness of The Skeleton Key to anybody who’ll listen since my first watch back in the day. that is a movie lover’s movie from start to finish. absolutely no notes.
positive · AI labelView post →#TonightsMovie part 2 is Iain Softley's The Skeleton Key, starring Kate Hudson, Gena Rowlands, Peter Sarsgaard, Joy Bryant, and John Hurt Trailer youtu.be/nPegIryJ5DM?...
neutral · AI labelView post →Ha! I totally considered The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974 or Tobe Hooper's other authentic Texan white trash movie Eaten Alive. I decided to play it safe with The Skeleton Key bc it's actually technically "Gothic" but good choice!
positive · AI labelView post →BRB, writing a piece on how The Skeleton Key shaped my understanding of what a good horror movie should be. (I always tell people who have never seen the movie to go into it without reading anything about it.)
positive · AI labelView post →I watched The Skeleton Key and for years didn’t know how it ended. Only found out how long that movie was because my Cousin made me watch it and I was like, “Oh yeah. I turned it off after the first dumb decision. I thought it was like a show or something.” 😂
negative · AI labelView post →Nevermind, she was the villain. I was gon say The Skeleton Key with Kate Hudson, but they were villains in that movie too
neutral · AI labelView post →The Skeleton Key is mostly there because of fond family and friend memories. It’s become a movie we watch often. My friends and I made “hoodou” juice for one watch session in college that nearly knocked us out. My lil sister, bestie and I often quote “my chile…I do believe you broke my legs” 🤣
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight’s movie lottery is sending us to learn about the horrors of home health with Kate Hudson. It’s time to watch 2005’s THE SKELETON KEY! #NowWatching #filmsky 🎬📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →Truly GOATed indeed. 😎 Just please don't let her confuse it for The Skeleton Key. That movie will mess you up with the wrong expectations.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm rewatching AHS: Coven and wanted to watch a horror movie set around New Orleans/Louisiana so I sat down and watched The Skeleton Key last night.. Amazing acting, really cool shots of the bayous and a 10/10 atmosphere but the story itself suffers from the predictable 00's horror trope.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's fine, as bad as it is people still put stock in them, it's like voodoo in the 2005 movie The Skeleton Key - the less you believe in it, the less effective it is when used on you
neutral · AI labelView post →Night 12 Movie 12 of #Spooktober #31NightsOfHalloween The Skeleton Key 👻👻👻 I’ve seen this movie before. I feel like it used to be so scary to me but it either doesn’t hold up with multiple watches or with time. I’m not sure which. Either way, I just didn’t find it as scary as I once did.
neutral · AI labelView post →now onto Talk To Me while I write my letterboxd review of Bring Her Back and then onto an old favorite, the Skeleton Key. LOVED Bring Her Back tho, that was a beautifully done film
positive · AI labelView post →Movie of the night: The Skeleton Key (2005).
neutral · AI labelView post →#Folktober movie 19: The Skeleton Key (2005). A hospice nurse takes a job at an old plantation house with many secrets. It’s an old-fashioned Southern Gothic with a mix of hoodoo, daddy issues, the power of belief, and a good twist ending. If there’s one lesson, it’s to not poke around old attics.
positive · AI labelView post →The Skeleton Key is also the perfect movie to watch this final week of Hoodoo Heritage Month
positive · AI labelView post →The Skeleton Key might be the worst movie I have ever seen.
negative · AI labelView post →Next, one of the first horror movies I ever watched and enjoyed: The Skeleton Key (2005). Don’t trust the Rotten Tomatoes score on this one. I’m telling you, it’s great!
