 SKELETON
KEY
With Kate Hudson, Gena Rowland, John Hurt Directed by Iain Softley Black magic gets a bit of a resurrection in this moody flick set in a creepy old house (almost always a winning location!). On top of this the eerie, swampy New Orleans backwoods is the geographical setting. A young hospice worker takes a job in the said house and area where an elderly man seemed to have suffered a stroke whilst in the attic. His staunch wife is a bit apprehensive to employ her, but does. Almost immediately the strange energy of the house starts making itself known. The old man seems to want to communicate something to the girl, but can't, so she starts to investigate, until dark secrets start to unfold as she finds a hidden door in the attic… It's good to see Hudson in a role other than a romantic comedy. The coolest part of this film is the uncompromised ending and "oh, okay!" revelation as you backtrack events. 4 / C - PB 1 2 3 4 5 6 A - B - C |
