The Skeleton Key

Released: 2005
Horror
Starring: Kate Hudson, Peter Sarsgaard, John Hurt
Director: Iain Softley
Running Time: 104

I thought this movie was going to suck bad, but it didn't.  It wasn't great, but it was ok.

The breakdown:
Hudson plays a hospice nurse who's looking for a better job.  Sarsgaard plays a family attorney that is running interference between applicants and the wife of John Hurt's character.  The wife is reluctant to hire Hudson, but eventually agrees and Hudson moves in with them to be a full time nurse.  Hudson begins to get suspicious of strange things going on in the house and starts investigating into the world of old Southern HooDoo culture.

The movie is full of dark creepy night scenes, but sometimes so dark, I couldn't see what was happening.

The story is somewhat predictable midway through, but entertaining.

I give it 2 1/2 stars for Sarsgaard being so sexy and good acting, with an interesting story.
