The “The Skeleton Key” movie talk and review
[from trailer]
Luke: Good night, child.
Violet Devereaux: We’ve been waiting for you, Caroline.
Violet Devereaux: Child, I believe you broke my legs.
Caroline Ellis: I told you I wanted a black one this time.
Luke: You know the black ones always run away.
Papa Justify: [Caroline is listening to the Conjur of Sacrifice record] From these chains, Lord, break me. From this prison, Lord, take me.
Jill: What the hell is that?
Caroline Ellis: [stopping record] Oh, um, it’s this, uh, new band…
Caroline Ellis: I saw the room.
Violet Devereaux: What room?
Caroline Ellis: The room you said you’ve never seen
Caroline Ellis: It’s like, hypnotism, right? Suggestion? And when this stuff works, its because someone believes it works?… And if you thought, you know, that magic made you sick… you might believe in a magic cure?
Mama Cynthia: Somebody been workin’ roots on you!
Caroline Ellis: Say I knew someone who thought that they’d been…
Mama Cynthia: Crossed?
Caroline Ellis: Crossed. Would they believe that they could be… uncrossed?
Violet Devereaux: You’re not from the south. You wouldn’t understand. That room up there?
[points]
Violet Devereaux: You don’t just go in there and throw things out of a room like that. You leave them just where you found them. The house is theirs just as much as ours.
Caroline Ellis: The house is whos? Who’s things are in that room?
Hallie: Are you a superstitious person, Caroline?
Caroline Ellis: Not per se.
Hallie: I told my mama where I was workin, she said that house has been nothin’ but blood and tears. Said the old owners were some rich brother and sister, crazy people supossedly. Died of strokes right after they sold the place… Maybe they found something they shouldn’t. Maybe now Ben did too. It may be their mess up there in that room, but ain’t no ghosts put a spell on that old man. She did.
Caroline Ellis: Do you believe that?
Hallie: Don’t you?
2d Caroline Ellis feb : But I heard it can’t hurt you. It can’t hurt you if you don’t believe.
Hallie: Then I suggest you leave that house, before you do.
Caroline Ellis: Do you know a record called the Conjure of Sacrifice?… Because I have it if you do.
Creole Mother: If you had that, you wouldn’t say so.
Caroline Ellis: [shouts] I don’t believe!
Caroline Ellis: Thank you, child.
[Struggling to speak as Caroline uses a spell to free him]
Ben Devereaux: Ca-ro-Line! Help me!
Caroline Ellis: I thought the key opens everything.
Violet Devereaux: The key? What Key?
Caroline Ellis: The key you gave me for the house there is a door in the attic it dosn’t work for.
Violet Devereaux: Oh, the attic, it’s never opened that.
Violet Devereaux: You think I’m senile don’t you.
Caroline Ellis: I just don’t understand. Why would the ghosts put a spell on Ben and not me I’ve been in that room too.
Violet Devereaux: Maybe because you don’t believe them.
Caroline Ellis: So was that the storm or the ghosts?
Violet Devereaux: Well, say what you will about spirits, I always thought you could learn something from them.
Caroline Ellis: Like a spell? I have great respect for you r husband. And whatecer he thinks happened to him he’s fighting it. What have you done.
Violet Devereaux: You haven’t touched your Gumbo.
Caroline Ellis: What have you done to him?
Violet Devereaux: I’ve made that special for you and you haven’t even touched it.
Caroline Ellis: What have you done?
Violet Devereaux: He is my husband and I am his wife I will do whatever I want to him.
Caroline Ellis: What have you done to him?
Violet Devereaux: Oh, you’ve done something.
Caroline Ellis: He’s not safe in this house not with you
Violet Devereaux: this is my house.
Caroline Ellis: I’m taking him Violet.
Violet Devereaux: NO!
Violet Devereaux: You cant get away Caroline!
Violet Devereaux: Are you religious at all?
Caroline Ellis: I try to keep an open mind.
Caroline Ellis: I don’t know what possessed me.
Caroline Ellis: I’m going into town for a while. Shopping.
Violet Devereaux: For what Caroline? Caroline! For what?
2d Caroline Ellis de9 : …you’ll just have to see.
Luke: You know my mother used to say that if a lady invites you into her room, she probably isn’t much of a lady.
Caroline Ellis: Yea, well, homegrown southern wisdom seems to grow on trees around here.
Caroline Ellis: His words have gotten tied, tied in his throat, let the water run down, and cure this affliction. His tounge has gotten tied, tied and tangled, let the water run down, and cure this -
[sudden clap of thunder]
Violet Devereaux: I bet they don’t have gardens like this is New Jersey.
Caroline Ellis: Actually, it’s “The Garden State”.
Violet Devereaux: I very much doubt that!

What about the movie and the review?Try ratings it!








The ending was unpredictable. I watched this movie some years ago, and I like it a lot. Plot and surprises were done well.
When I found the ture of this film,I think some of the scenes was not waste of time.As a scenes of the film,Caroline wanna told some things to Ben on her bedroom,but it was found by Violet,and then Ben told to Violet he only love she,this is not casual.
final outcome was very alarming, very good film!!
