English Summary:

The Skeleton Key is a 2005 American supernatural horror film directed by Iain Softley, written by Ehren Kruger and starring Kate Hudson, Gena Rowlands, John Hurt, Peter Sarsgaard, and Joy Bryant. The story follows hospice nurse Caroline who begins a job at a Terrebonne Parish plantation home, and becomes entangled in a supernatural mystery involving the house, its former inhabitants, and Hoodoo rituals and spells that took place there. It was released in North America on August 12, 2005.

Caroline Ellis (Hudson), a hospice aide, quits her position at a nursing home and is hired as the caretaker of an isolated plantation house in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. The aging lady of the house, Violet Devereaux (Rowlands), needs help looking after her husband Benjamin (Hurt), who was mostly paralyzed by an apparent stroke. At the insistence of the family's estate lawyer, Luke Marshall (Sarsgaard), Caroline accepts the position.

After Ben attempts to escape his room during a storm, Caroline investigates the house's attic, where Violet said Ben suffered his stroke; she uses a skeleton key which Violet gave her. She discovers a secret room filled with ritual paraphernalia. Caroline confronts Violet, who reveals that the room used to belong to two African American servants who were employed at the house 90 years before. The servants, Mama Cecile and Papa Justify, were renowned hoodoo practitioners; they were lynched after conducting a ritual with the owners' two children, from whom Violet and Ben later bought the house. Violet tells Caroline that they keep no mirrors in the house because they see reflections of Cecile and Justify in them. Caroline borrows a phonograph record from the attic: Conjure of Sacrifice, a recording of Papa Justify reciting a hoodoo ritual.

Hungarian Summary:

A New Orleans-i erdőségnek a világtól távol eső, baljós hangulatú részébe, a Louisiana torkolatvidékére érkezik Caroline, hogy ott egy magányosan álló, ódon házban egy idősödő asszony beteg férjét ápolja. A lányt érdekelni kezdik a rejtélyes pár titokzatos dolgai és a roskatag ház, így felfedező utakra indul az épületben. A minden ajtót nyitó álkulccsal felfegyverkezve ráakad egy eldugott szobára a padláson, mely halálos, rémisztő titkot rejt...
