From the writer of 'The Ring' (Ehren Kruger), comes this tense supernatural thriller with a chilling twist. Caroline (Kate Hudson), a young hospice nurse is hired to care for the ailing husband of an elderly woman in the couple's home, a foreboding and decrepit plantation mansion just outside of New Orleans. Intrigued by the couple and their mysterious and secretive ways Caroline explores the house using a skeleton key to unlock all the doors. However the deadly and terrifying secret she unlocks in the attic would have been better left forgotten.

The Skeleton Key review by Shatner's Bassoon
A creepy thriller with a decent twist.

The Skeleton Key revolves around the character of Caroline Ellis, a bored hospice carer. Unhappy with her current job she replies to a newspaper job advert which takes her to the middle of Louisiana's bayou to care for stroke victim Ben Devereaux. Almost at once strange things begin to happen which seem to lead to an area of the attic that even the house's main skeleton key can't open. Overall this is a well directed and creepy southern gothic thriller set within a house which just oozes the creepiness of an old dilapidated home. A decent amount of tension builds up as Caroline searches for the truth and the ending involves a clever twist to the tale.
