The Skeleton Key Movie Synopsis

Caroline (Kate Hudson), a live-in nurse, is hired to care for an elderly woman's (Gena Rowlands) ailing husband in their home -- a foreboding and decrepit Gothic mansion in the marshy backwoods just outside of New Orleans.

Intrigued by the enigmatic couple and the dark and mysterious surroundings, Caroline begins to explore the old mansion. Armed with a skeleton key that unlocks every door, she discovers a hidden attic room that holds a deadly and terrifying secret.

Kate Hudson is the reason I saw this film, but I thought it was great. It wasn`t that scary, but people will find this plot interesting. And the ending is really good, even if you don`t like the rest of the film.

Not since the Sixth Sense has there been a movie with a surprise twist at the end.

i thought that this movie wasn`t scary but it really good
