The Skeleton Key

Kate Hudson, Gena Rowlands (2005) A woman takes a job as a hospice nurse for a couple who live in a New Orleans house with a troublesome history.

Not sure if they have a name for it now that they've changed over to being Syfy, rather than the SciFi channel, but this movie aired on Sunday 7/12 at 9:00 PM. Used to be the time when they aired SciFi original movies and stuff. Similar to SciFi Saturday (which also may have been renamed), but less Saturday, and more Sunday.

Also, Kate Hudson sleeping in her underwear at 25 minutes in. Just to keep track of that sort of thing like I planned...

This movie has Peter Sarsgaard in it. Who is a completely different person from Stellan SkarsgÄrd. And also significantly less awesome. And significantly less Swedish.

And if nothing else, this movie has taught me that "hoodoo" is completely different from "voodoo". And that "hoodoo" exists.

Actually not too terrible. And it has an ending that is in no way happy. Seems to be a common thing on this blog lately.

I'm intrigued that this was a scifi whatever day of the week movie since this was a theatre release I believe.
