I don't know about anyone else, but I keep wondering why they can't make scary movies anymore. The trend nowadays is to make the movie suspenseful and to have an ending that the person won't expect at the outset of the movie. This movie follows this trend nicely. The ending was somewhat cool, but I left the theater very disappointed. It just seemed a little formulaic of today's "scary movies." It is nothing special, so you can wait until it comes to a dollar theater or on DVD. If you've seen The Grudge, The Ring, or The Sixth Sense then you've already seen The Skeleton Key. If you want to see another Grudge, just set in Louisiana then go for it. Just realize that when you go into the theater, be prepared to see a mediocre film that doesn't try anything new to scare you.
