skeleton key

this will be, for the moment, my last post related to scary movies. i've got a few good things playing in future.

so, let's go!

skeleton key stars kate hudson(daughter of goldie hawn and showing some of her mothers younger looks), gena rowlands, and john hurt. it was released in 2005.

i love this story! somehow the mix of voodoo, louisiana, swamps, and a moving back story work wonders. plus, there's that pescky mystery and twist at the end that's just great!

first off, i'm a louisiana girl born and bred. i just live in texas cause it's close! second, this story holds many things that really do keep you on the edge of your seat. i'm a lover of backstories and this one didn't disappoint.

i can't go too much into the backstory, that's really a must see. but, i'll give a little bit of the plot. it starts off with kate hudson living in new orleans working as a nurse at a nursing home. she quits after the death of a patient and finds employment at the home of gena rowlands and john hurt, a long married couple. john hurt's character has suffered a stroke and gena can't help too much. they live in a great house on the edge of water. kate hudson gets a skeleton key and goes hunting around in the house and, well, i'm leaving the rest for you, gentle reader, to find out!

have fun and happy hunting!
