The Skeleton Key
The Skeleton Key, the genera of the film was advertised as Horror but as usual the film turned out to be a thriller. The Director Iain Softley who lost the key throughout the movie makes it up with a fine climax.
The film is quite guessable right from the beginning except the CLIMAX (must be inspired by Manoj Night Shyamalan). You get the same wine but this time in a fresh bottle. The K(ute)ate Hudson (remember How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days) in a thriller, I thought they would have messed up with her but she along with Gena Rowlands and John Hurt has done a wonderful job.
The tag line of the movie says "It can open any door" but nothing was closed in the movie (including kate). The director should have spent some more time in making the movie more compact from the beginning.
The Skeleton Key is a nice movie for those who haven't watched many horror flicks. But for those who have seen a lot only the last 10 min of the film was different. On the whole die hard Kate Hudson fans will not be disappointed while leaving the cinema hall and that includes ME.
