We just watched this movie and I liked it a lot. I like movies that have an unexpected twist or two, or ones that really make you think twice. This movie was one of those. I thought it was going to be an all blood-and-guts scary movie, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it actually had a good plot.
This is the write up from http://www.theskeletonkeymovie.com/
Plot Synopsis : Steeped in rain, humidity, and eerie bayou atmosphere, The Skeleton Key DVD is an entertaining supernatural thriller that makes excellent use of its Louisiana locations. New Orleans and the rural environs of Terrebonne Parish are crucial in setting up the creepy circumstances that find compassionate caregiver Caroline Ellis (Kate Hudson) newly employed at the backwater plantation home of Violet (Gena Rowlands) and her invalid husband Ben (John Hurt), who's been rendered mute and seemingly helpless by a recent stroke. The place is rife with mystery, shrouded in the secrets of a suspicious past and, under Violet's stern supervision, plagued by superstition involving the use of Hoodoo magic spells intended to protect the house from harm. But Caroline soon discovers the source of the mystery, and why Ben (who can barely utter a word) is so desperate to escape his seemingly comfortable domesticity. Director Iain Softley expertly emphasizes the edgy air of mystery, pushing some effective shocks while encouraging fine work from Hudson, Peter Sarsgaard (as Violet's lawyer) and especially Rowlands, who's genuinely disturbing as Skeleton Key DVD nears a twist ending that's undeniably effective.

| Yes, this was a great movie! The end freaked me out. I think they could have done a lil more homework on the voodoo stuff, but it was fun to watch and believable in a way,lol. Not that I believe that stuff, but freaky stuff happens down there. Attachment: 39m.jpg (Downloaded 5 times)

Great movie. Swamps, VooDoo, and a nosey halfbaked cityslicker. If your like me and sick of the so called good guys winning all the time. This movie really rocks because all her nosing around got her nowhere. Plus the plot is a bit frightening.
