The Skeleton Key

Although the big surprise twist isn’t that much of one, The Skeleton Key is still a very entertaining and stylish supernatural thriller, with an all-star cast, wonderfully spooky scoring and great directing like they aren’t supposed to do any more. And what’s more, it gets the difference between voodoo and hoodoo right.

Kate Hudson and especially John Hurt absolutely sell the story, and the entire conceit of hoodoo not being dangerous unless you believe it teases viewers not to believe.

Recommended for fans of supernatural thrillers like the Serpent and the Rainbow, the Ring and the Sixth Sense.
