Sent to New Orleans to care for an aging stroke victim who lies bedridden and speechless in a rambling antebellum mansion, 25-year-old hospice worker Caroline discovers a key that unlocks ancient secrets. Alone in the house with no company aside from the man's unfriendly wife, Caroline eventually comes across a hidden room. But what she finds inside is a Pandora's box of voodoo, danger and lies.

Features
The Skeleton Key contains an audio commentary and deleted scenes. The disc is D-Box enabled. •Audio Commentary: Director Iain Softley, sometimes sounding as if he's reading, discusses his attraction to the project, cast performances, Louisiana geography, production design, technical details of the shoot, story structure and themes, and much more. Despite a fairly flat tone from the speaker, the content is quite good and should please both fans and those interested in the art of crafting a major motion picture. •Deleted Scenes (480i, window box, 21:40): With optional commentary with Director Iain Softley
