The Skeleton Key (2005) - Blu-ray Forum

Anoyone here anything on this coming to Blu?
I have really grown to liking this move.
Not so much the first time I watched it but even better the 2nd and 3rd as you pick up on a few more things.

Tom Hiddleston · 01-23-2010, 11:37 PM

I didn't like it at all. I could see the ending a mile away, which is typical for me, but most people I've talked to enjoyed it. I wouldn't be suprised to see it come out on blu ray. I'd be happy if it did, at least some people can get what they want.

so this released today im going to buy it this weekend anyways to replace my DVD but does anyone know if it has better pq?

SwissHD · 09-07-2010, 01:12 PM

Did anyone know if it has the same Picture Quality as the HD DVD?
Cause its universal and they filtered certain HD DVD Titles for a BD Release.

I'll get it once the price drops to $15-, hoping for a solid site review.

Same here! I saw it today at BB and debated just picking it up, but I have a feeling it will probably drop in price pretty rapidly.

It's one of those movies that will be $10 or $8 somewhere in 1-2 months so I can wait.

Normally I would do the same thing, but I love this movie and wanted to watch before Halloween!

Mizu_Ger · 09-08-2010, 09:05 PM

Any reviews or thoughts on the quality of this release? I am reluctant to buy any Universal catalogue title until I've read a review or heard someone's opinion on it!

HeavyHitter · 02-15-2016, 05:22 PM

I watched this last night and I have to say, it's one of Universal's best looking catalog titles especially given it was released before their newer (better) direction. It has a nice, smooth (but not overly so) image that doesn't look processed or blown-out. There is some really nice shadow detail in the darker scenes and definitely a very good movie.

Popcorn_Bliss · 02-15-2016, 05:29 PM

It's definitely a favorite of mine. Nice for a late night viewing.

AaronJ · 02-15-2016, 05:52 PM

Wow, glad to whomever bumped this. I never would have thought of it otherwise. I remember really enjoying this back in the day. Like others in this thread have said, it's a lot better than many films of its ilk. And it was nice to see Kate Hudson given a role to sink her teeth into, instead of those silly rom-coms she seemed to be making every year previous.

I'll definitely be picking this up at some point. But I may have to wait, as I have some expensive pre-orders about to come due very soon.

wonkavision · 02-15-2016, 06:45 PM

Great actors and acting all around. This is certainly one of my favorites and often played, especially with friends who have not seen it. Everyone walks away liking and actually thinking (and freaking out) about it later,

It scares the crap out of me when I see it, definitely need to grab the BD at some point. The horror genre is horrifically under-represented now in my collection, need to rectify that by the end of the year.

JaseT · 02-15-2016, 09:47 PM

Yes, thanks for the bump! I would've forgotten to add brick dust to my shopping list!

No mirrors!

JaseT · 02-15-2016, 09:50 PM

The soundtrack is worth tracking down, especially now that it's OOP. Very moody!

StinkingSuede · 02-15-2016, 11:28 PM

Skeleton Key is even better on second viewing, because you see all the clues that you didn't know were clues the first time you watched it.
