Critics Consensus: Thanks to its creaky and formulaic script, The Skeleton Key is more mumbo-jumbo than hoodoo and more dull than scary.

Reviews

Film Frenzy

Matt Brunson

The supernatural element extends beyond what's taking place on the screen, as it appears that Rowlands, delivering a performance of high camp, has been possessed by What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?-era Bette Davis.

It is much more difficult to decide whether The Skeleton Key is mildly offensive or nicely provocative - or for that matter if it is dreadfully silly or actually quite smart.

Ever since The Sixth Sense, thriller "twists" have become increasingly lame and pointless, but in The Skeleton Key, it actually works quite well.

This surprisingly fun psychological thriller -- featuring brilliant turns from veterans Gena Rowlands and John Hurt -- could well be the sleeper hit of the year.

A genuinely creepy offering in a world filled with contrived bland dramas posing as thrillers.
