Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

CorblimeyGuvnors A reporter sets out to find a five legged, two headed goat and arrives in the town of Nilbog. The town is infested with all manner of monsters. From Zombies through to Vampires. Joh Johnson has quite an an impressive IMDb list of credits and to be continually working is a commendable thing.I feel a bit guilty about not really liking this film. Judging by the reviews on here you really either love it or hate it. I would not go as far as saying I hated this. I just found it a bit juvenile and some of the characters really grated on me. The concept is cool and starts off with a man watching the film in his bathroom. It then jumps back to him on numerous occasions and he passes comments on the action unfolding. Now if he had spoken in a normal voice (or really any other voice than the one used) this would have been fine, but he speaks his lines in a high pitched sequel. This seems to be a problem with a lot of the characters through out the film. There is also the Asian man who does not speak English, and he really just sounds like he is talking gibberish. Apparently the script was totally improvised. Some of the physical special effects were good, but this was counterbalanced by some poor visual effects. Acting generally was poor. There are appearances from Debbie Rochon and Brinkie Stevens, two well established scream queens. They are only briefly seen and Debbie has a slightly bigger part than Brinkie, who only really has a cameo. The best thing about this was the music and there was a rock track that sounded very much like the Phantasm main title. Cool !!Not a total waste as there were the odd scene that made me smile and keep my attention. Especially the Grease homage when the lead actor started to sing to a girl called Sandy!!!!!There is even a couple of sequel's. Skeleton key 2: 667 the neighbour of the beast in 2008 and Skeleton key 3: The organ trail, made in 2011. So their must be a fan base out there somewhere.

tcoll32 This is the flag ship film of Darkstone Entertainment and has been remade 2 times already. First one was a short film now know as Skeleton Key -1. Then came the first full feature attempt at the film on VHS called Skeleton Key 0. Now we have SK 1. The director John Johnson decided to go with a completely improvised script (that means all the lines were made up at the time they were saying them). The story is so crazy that it would take all day to explain the film. To sum it up is pretty much impossible. All I can say is that I can guarantee you will be entertained and at the end of the day isn't that what is the most important thing you are trying to get from a film. The film was shot completely guerrilla style with the cast and crew almost getting arrested by the local police for disturbing the peace. The extras are great as is the commentary. Try it out, you won't regret it.

wolfskindancer Given the other comment on this movie, I would like to say that I am not affiliated with the writer/director or any cast of this film. I did, however, register on IMDb just because this comment had to be made. I also must say that this is one of the greatest "get a bunch of friends together and make a movie" films I have ever seen. It is campy, made on a shoestring budget and not very technical at all. That said, if you can just get over those things and come at it with the will to have fun, you will enjoy John Johnson's cheesy monster flick.The reasons? What monsters do you like in your movies? This movie has gory zombies, sexy vampires, a mad scientist and various assorted freaks. It has the talents of scream queens like Debbie Rochon and Brinke Stevens.The number one reason I love this film is the character Neil. He has already seen the movie, and in fact is kind of a fanboy who is watching the movie along with you in his bathroom. Occasionally he pauses the film to tell you what just went on and why it is absolutely awesome. For this experience alone this movie is well worth watching.Don't take the movie or yourself too seriously and just enjoy it.

Francis ***SPOILER ALERT*** This movie sucks scrotum... cause I can't say B*LLSMay I just say that I have seen not only one, but TWO separate versions of this film... and I don't even know these people. As a supporter of poorly made films and people that live within a 100 mile radius of me, I feel it only appropriate to see what's going on in the community. This movie makes me feel like I should be doing something in the film making business. That first comment was pretty spot on, though i must admit the main villain in the movie is played well by... whomever the fk he was. Also, the villain I am talking about is the scientist that sings about man-bags. This movie had too many damn villains, but no real plot. I think that was the problem. Also, I don't care if Matt Damon or Ben Affleck were in this or not, that plot could not have been worse if J.J. Abrams had produced it.Now with all the insults that I have said, may I just say that I love movies that come from fecal matter. So if you are into movies that are less creative than George Lucas then this is right up your alley.
