Leave your thoughts about The Skeleton Key.
| Reel Times: Reflections on CinemaMark PfeifferThe Skeleton Key conjures a spooky atmosphere steeped in the mystique of folk magic and medicine and suspicion of the deep South. |
| EDGE BostonDavid FoucherFull props for story and acting, even if the slow pace and predictable racial profiling of this thriller half-mires it into the Louisiana swamps it celebrates. |
| Arizona RepublicBill MullerThe Skeleton Key is more creaky than creepy, like visiting an expensive haunted house. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerA blundering New Orleans-set thriller under the spell of archaic stereotypes about Southern Bayou blacks. |

| Sun Publications (Chicago, IL)Josh Larsen...offers Hudson a chance to do something more than beam at us with that sunny, moony face. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanHere's a B-movie that knows it's a B-movie, yet is intent on being a really good B-movie. And it is. |
| Now Playing MagazineBrent SimonDateline: August 5, 2016. A couple sits in their den, watching cable television. |
| MoviolaJorge Avila AndradeEs predecible y soporífera, llena de clichés y lugares comunes, sin lograr crear nunca la atmósfera adecuada para que el espectador logre una conexión emocional |
| MovieCrypt.comKevin A. Ranson... this isn't a horror film, but its black heart is in the right place... |
