"The Skeleton Key" is the sort of movie that one might expect to be the manifestation of pure idiocy: a movie star's daughter in a flick about a creepy house. But this one has some neat twists and turns, with a very surprising ending. New Orleans caretaker Caroline Ellis (Kate Hudson) takes a job as a caretaker for disabled Ben Devereaux (John Hurt) in the countryside. Ben's wife Violet (Gena Rowlands) explains to Caroline some of the house's history, but Caroline finds out more as the movie progresses. And the answer to it all is closer than she realizes.
Overall, there's nothing particularly special about this movie - except that it may have been the last major movie that featured New Orleans before hurricane Katrina. But the flashbacks and camera angles give it a really cool feeling. You might check it out if possible.
