SKELETON KEY is a fresh new horror movie released on AUGUST 12TH 2005.
It’s set in and around modern-day New Orleans. Kate Hudson plays a live-in nursse hired by an elderly woman (Gena Rowlands) to care for her dying husband (John Hurt) in a foreboding plantation mansion in the Louisiana bayous. Intrigued by the couple’s secretive ways and their rambling house, Kate explores the mansion and discovers that the skeleton key she’s been given opens all the doors in the house except one. Her efforts to discover what lies behind it spiral her into the middle of a terrifying mystery.
In many respects, the story has the form and trappings of a ghost story, but it plays out like no ghost story you’ve ever seen. Peter Sarsgaard and Joy Bryant have the other significant roles and Iain Softley is directing. We’ve got about another month of principal photography to go.
