\n<\/p>\n

Skeleton Key<\/a><\/i>: Kate Hudson acts the part of a New Jersey college
\nstudent who, mourning the loss of her father, shifts her work to hospice
\ncare, easing the dying to the end.  Naturally, she lands a gig in a
\nhoodoo-haunted
\nBayou mansion (is this the same place Forrest Gump<\/i> was filmed?) many miles from
\nthe closest city, a shadowy and unkempt house where much mystery and mayhem ensues,
\ntensions build, and the spirited plot (in four words: need more brick dust)
\ncreeps onward. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s fresh enough and solid enough that I don’t want to flatten it out
\ntoo much here.  I’d say it’s styled in the tradition of Twilight Zone<\/i>;
\nthe double entendre on skeleton key<\/i> is something like Rod Serling would’ve
\ndevised (or so I was reminded, not that I’m really not very well studied in this
\nkind of thing). And its PG-13 rating is just about right considering that it’s
\njust a little bit sexy, a little bit surprising, and a little bit bizarre. 
\nOn the verge of the stuff of nightmares, especially given John Hurt’s
\nstroke-stricken character, Ben Devereaux, who coughs, gasps, and makes wide eyes
\nthroughout his drawn out victimization.  And yes, it also includes to at
\nleast one painfully unoriginal one-liner; a groaner I was disappointed that the
\nwriters\/directors\/producers didn’t have enough good sense to trim. Formula:
\nhigh-suspense moment when imperiled character breaks in with ridiculously
\nobvious statement; everyone laughs in relief (although there’s really nothing
\nmuch funny about what’s happening). <\/p>\n

And so I recommend the movie with the caveat that it’s a mid-grade
\npop-suspense success and also something of a puzzler–one you, if you’re
\nlike me (which you might not be), will think over for a few minutes, seriously
\nexpecting unforgivable gaps in the story.  But I was satisfied that the
\nresolution was much less detectable than the same in The Sixth Sense<\/i>,
\nwhich is to say that if you know how it’s going to turn out, my take on
\non Skeleton Key<\/i> slides all the way from decent<\/i> down to why
\nbother<\/i>. I’m stopping now before I’ve said too much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
