Movie #99 - The Skeleton Key

Title: The Skeleton Key

Director: Iain Softley

Release Year: 2005

Plot Summary: A young woman helping care for an invalid in New Orleans finds herself caught in the middle of morbid going-ons centered around a group of Voodoo practitioners.

Thoughts: Another one that surprised me. The back-story might have been a wee bit on the lame side ("hoodoo" v. "voodoo"? Huh?), but Kate Hudson pulled off the role of a woman who's fighting her gradually-increasing belief quite well. Also, the end is not quite what I expected, and definitely in a good way.

Rating (0-10): 7.5

Recommendations: One of the better horror/suspense thrillers I've seen in a while. Worth a look.
