The Skeleton Key (2005)
Set largely in the dark atmospheric backwoods just outside of New Orleans, The Skeleton Key stars Hudson as Caroline, a live-in nurse hired to care for an elderly woman's ailing husband in their home ... a foreboding and decrepit Gothic mansion in the Louisiana delta. Intrigued by the enigmatic couple, their mysterious and secretive ways and their rambling house, Caroline beings to explore the old mansion. Armed with a skeleton key that unlocks every door, she discovers a hidden attic room that holds a deadly and terrifying secret. Peter Sarsgaard portrays Luke, the local attorney working on the couple's estate, and Joy Bryant plays Jill, Caroline's best friend. (read more)

A Lousiana tale of voodoo and witchcraft, all bound together by Kate Hudson looking her tip-top best. (This was filmed right after she gave birth to her son and so she's packing an extra 2-3 pounds on her frame which suits her well.)

Universal Pictures' The Skeleton Key
"The Skeleton Key" is usually fodder for forgettable spooky flicks, but thanks to a rainy New Orleans, good performances by the actors, and an interesting twist, we get a pretty neat supernatural thriller that's worth seeing.
Kate Hudson plays an updated and mature version of her role...

Almost every film you watch requires some level of suspension of disbelief. Some genres (Sci-Fi, Horror, Musicals, etc.) require more than others (drama).

I love just about every part of this movie. I think the fact that I am from where this movie is placed helps. I was born in a little town, New Iberia, where my grandparents live. Southern Louisiana is unlike any other place I have ever been to. There are devout Catholics mixed with Voodoo and Hoodoo. Mix this with the...
