I went to see the Skeleton Key last night by accident (the mall closes at 7 on Sundays, much to my surprise). Me, Sara, and Mel were absolutely terrified at the prospect. But the preview for The Excorcism of Emily Rose ended up being the scariest thing we saw that night (hey, it was really scary!!)-- the movie turend out to be more of a thriller than a horror, full of eerie things and such but lacking the constanly OHMYGODWHYDIDIDECIDETOSEETHIS?! sentiment.
Go see The Skeleton Key. The previews made it seem like the archetypical modern crappy plotless horror "a secret is there and we wont tell you anything so go see it" movie. The preview did nothing but tell us how it was the scariest movie ever...translation: the trailer made the movie look sucky. But the movie wasn't sucky or plotless, and therefore was nothing like the dozens of others flooding the box office--it had substance, twist, and beautiful themes. It was complex and unique, and was about Louisiana witchcraft! W00t!!!!!!! So, go see it, you won't be disappointed or crap your pants, I promise.
