"The Skeleton Key" is a 2005 American Southern Gothic supernatural horror film directed by Iain Softley and written by Ehren Kruger. It stars Kate Hudson, Gena Rowlands, John Hurt, Peter Sarsgaard, and Joy Bryant. The story is about a New Orleans hospice nurse who starts a job at a Terrebonne Parish plantation home and becomes involved in a supernatural mystery about the house, its former inhabitants, and Voodoo rituals and spells that took place.
Nurse Caroline Ellis quits her job to take care of elderly Ben Devereux who had a stroke and can't talk. When she reaches Bens house in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, she encounters his wife Violet, who is suspicious and creepy. Caroline is convinced by the family's lawyer, Luke Marshall. She goes to the attic and finds a secret room full of spells, hair, and bones used to practice Hoodoo, but Violet says she has never seen this secret room. Caroline thinks Violet has put a spell on Ben, so she wants to help him.
She understands that Voodoo cannot hurt someone who does not believe in it. Will Caroline be able to save Ben, or will she be the one who needs saving?
Mama Cecile and Papa Justify are the spirits of 1900's renowned Hoodoo practitioners and the main antagonists of the movie. The end is surprising.
