Underrated Horror: ‘Skeleton Key’ Unlocks The Horrors Of Hoodoo

There are a lot of underrated horror films that have been released over the years. One that is criminally underrated is 2005’s Skeleton Key from director Ians Softly, and the writer of The Ring. And it happens to be one of my favorites. The movie is set in a once grand plantation that stands against the beautiful backdrop of the bayou of Louisiana where it has stood for over a century. Caroline works as a hospice nurse and is there caring for Ben, the man of the house (John Hurt) in his final days. His wife (Gena Rowlands), a domineering woman, believes Caroline’s presence is not needed but is convinced by her young lawyer (Peter Sarsgaard) to accept the help. But there’s much more to the story, there is a nefarious plot in the works. Skeleton Key is unlike any film you’ve seen before. It’s also full of intrigue, spookiness, and tension. Hoodoo plays a huge part in the story,
