In 2005, Kate Hudson starred in 'The Skeleton Key,' easily one of the most underrated horror/thriller films of the decade. It told the tale of a nurse who must care for a sick, elderly man in the backwoods of N'Orleans. The film was expertly crafted with its palpable suspense, beautiful settings, and fine cast.Unfortunately, 'Skeleton Key 2: 677 Neighbour of the Beast' has nothing to do with that film. Instead, it is the misleading sequel to John Johnson's crappy straight-to-video horror/comedy 'Skeleton Key' (2006). Why call it misleading? Well, probably because the DVD covers for 'Skeleton Key 2' and the Kate Hudson flick are almost identical? Or because of the vague plot descriptions on the DVD case? Similar to The Asylum production company, John Johnson released this self-proclaimed fanboy flick in hopes of getting unknowing fans of the Kate Hudson film to buy/rent his ridiculous flick. And it worked. Sadly.When watching "bad" horror movies, one saving grace often comes from their runtimes. With b-horror, budget constraints and, often, a lack of story, the runtime is usually held under 90 minutes. This helps horror fans who like to search the dregs of the genre for hidden gems by limiting the time investment for the individual films. Here, though, John Johnson forces us to sit through 123 minutes of his awful film. Over two hours of some of the most hilariously awful cinema I've ever sat through. Don't get me wrong: there's nothing at all wrong with the occasional intentionally bad film. In fact, intentionally bad movies are often some of the most fun a viewer will find if he has a few friends and a case of brew around.However, with a runtime of over two hours, the vampire leprechauns (seriously), zombies that look like Na'vi (seriously), naked chefs with rubber chickens (seriously), and musical numbers in bunny suits (seriously), this film is just far too much to take. While there is a reprieve of hilariously bad acting & gore, not to mention plenty of boobs and lesbian action, even that doesn't make this a bearable film. If that's what you're looking for, just stick with softcore Skinemax and gore flicks.Final Verdict: 1.5/10 for quality, bearability, and everything that matters, but I will admit to laughing quite a bit, so it wasn't a total loss.-AP3-

Errrm, (cough cough) errm....(utterly speechless)...errm....yeah...I'm, errm, not really sure how to put something this calibre of bad into words......I was expecting a cheap straight to DVD sequel to Kate Hudson's Skeleton key, which wasn't a bad movie...And...Errm...I got this...A £20 budget, made by college kids with nothing better to do, no special effects, no story, the worst acting you've ever seen, bad lighting and sound, jokes that are so unfunny they actually make your blood boil with anger, nude women that are so unattractive it makes you fancy a romantic night in with Rosie O'Donnell, I could go on and on......This film really does need destroying so that other people are not duped into renting this out...Shame on you IMDb for not allowing a rating lower than a 1....Minus 350,000 would not do this film justice, it really is THAT bad....WOW!!! ((Goes to flush out his brain with bleach and try to remove the memory of having watched this tripe))

Now I went into this movie with no high hopes at all, because of the crap fest of the first Skeleton Key (I would not suggest to waste your time on that piece of garbage)this is not a sequel to the Skeleton Key. But this movie was what they made it to be a bad movie horror movie, full of goofy monsters with a ridicules plot which was hard to follow but seems to be intentional. But all in all it was a damn entertaining movie,I would suggest to give this movie chance and yes the first few minutes are kinda hard to make it through but well worth it once the movie gets going. With entertaining music, and the acting was better that other movies out there.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. It has no connection with the skeleton key at all. There is no real point to the movie whatsoever, with no explanation why the weird things that happened. The actors in it are worse than ever before, that Jamaican was so annoying throughout the movie, i think i would have rathered watch "kids in the sandbox" again (do not watch kids in the sandbox, it was a joke). That demon thing was stupid by wanting the main character to screw every girl in sight, the songs in it were obnoxiously annoying, and it was just plain confusing all around. If the people who made this crappy movie actually made money off of it, then I will make a movie. I've seen better movies at school, like the "do not drink and drive" and "be abstinent" movies where you just laugh at the bad acting and stupid lines. Believe me when i say that their acting was more horrific than the movie itself. I do not even think anyone on purpose could act as bad as they did.I couldn't watch anymore of the thing after an hour of watching it, and i believe there was at least another 45 minutes of a movie left!I will repeat again DONOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!! It's not worth the headache. You have been warned that this movie causes severe migraines.I had my worst one after watching this thing.
