This is not a good movie, let's get that out of the way. I gave it a shot because I thoroughly enjoyed Rec (and hated the American remake) however in this case it's this one that is the crappy remake. Now, Skeleton Key is a fairly terrible movie in it's own right but I actually enjoyed it, it was quick-paced and didn't take itself too seriously. The Grandmother moves like a drowsy slug and takes itself so seriously. It attempts to be a study of aging and youth and the toxic relationship we have with them but... it isn't. At the end it's just an unoriginal, slow, boring and unnecessary movie. I mean if you're gonna use an old idea at least add a twist.
