Skeletons in the Closet (2001)

Best movie of this year hands down!

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Skeletons in the Closet is a very different film that has a unique cast which includes Treat Williams, Linda Hamilton, Jonathan Jackson, Schuyler Fisk, and Gordon Clapp. The acting by all of these actors is very good. Williams and Hamilton is excellent in this film. I thought they were really great together. The mystery is really good and some of it is unbelievable. The movie is filmed very differently and in fact I can't recall a film that's filmed similar like this one. The music is good. The film is quite exciting and the movie really keeps you going until the end. This is a very good and thrilling film. If you like Treat Williams, Linda Hamilton, Jonathan Jackson, and the rest of the cast I've mentioned above, thrillers, dramas, and exciting films then I recommend this film!

This movie was so predictable and poorly acted. I really can't recommend it to anyone, not even for unintentional laughs. It is just plain bad. It is pure TV movie hell, the cast doesn't seem all that bad, but they act terribly. Just stay far away from this movie and rent something more intellectual, like porn.

...Jonathan Jackson had it in him? I first saw a poster for this movie at the grocery store, and decided that I had to see it. I thought it was horror, but it was actually drama. Seth's dad suspects that his son may be a murderer, although he has trouble finding evidence to convince anyone else. Throughout the movie, we also become suspicious of him and the mysterious fire that killed Seth's mother. "Every family is a hierarchy ruled by its sickest member. The trick is figuring out who that is." The ending made me cry.

There's a reason why you've never heard of this movie... it's not any good! However, I must admit that the movie does keep your attention; but that's only because you think the movie's going to be good or the climax will be spectacular. Not so. The film tries to be clever like every other Hollywood thriller by gradually giving pieces of the puzzle; and when the puzzle is finally solved you're not thinking, "Oooohhh, I get it now!," but rather, "Big deal, no surprises there." My overall thought: the film seems more like an episode of a TV thriller (such as Profiler) rather than a movie.
