I remember watching this, and enjoying it more than I expected to (probably based on reviews).
:)
Perhaps even more obscure: but did anyone play the Sierra point-and-click adventure game, Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers? Also New Orleans, Voodoo and murder, with voice acting by Tim Curry, Leah Rimini and Mark Hamill.
As soon as I was notified my mind went "surely she doesn't mean that skeleton key!"
Well lucky me, you did! I watched this movie when I was... well, I'm not sure how old but definitely under the age of 10. To this day I still remember the music croaking through the old record player. And the scene where she puts down the salt circle. I remember being absolutely enthralled! It's good to know it still holds up mostly. Of course it will still have some old 2000s quirks to it. Though my brother wouldn't admit it, I think this is where his spiritual interests came from. Sort of like the first domino in rediscovering a heritage we lost.
Also the twist at the end. Pristine. Beautiful. You're giving me a lot of movies to rewatch from my childhood these last few weeks! Thank you kindly!
I LOVE this movie - so underrated. The ending is perfection.

You got me, now I need to watch it!
I've never seen the film but I'd love to read the book and then watch it because I love Kate Hudson.
My head immediately went to King's book, which I frickin' loved in middle or high school!
