The Skeleton Key

Caroline (Kate Hudson) is a hospice worker hired by Violet (Gena Rowlands) to come down to New Orleans and look after her dying husband (John Hurt). While settling in Caroline spends her spare time exploring their sprawling, crumbling house, and it's not long before the dilapidated old mansion starts sharing some disturbing secrets. With its spooky Southern gothic setting and excellent cast this is a well-crafted supernatural thriller.
