The Skeleton Key and Metaphysical Movies

Kate Hudson stars in The Skeleton Key (2005), a movie about Hoodoo, curses, and possession. The Skeleton Key movie depicted the evil that resides in a New Orleans home. An African American housekeeper put a curse on the home. In result, the plantation home contains a dark evil past. The swamp that surrounds the plantation property adds to the mystery of the evil Hoodoo that traps all souls who venture into the cursed home.

Caroline Ellis (Kate Hudson) accepts a job as a hospice worker to care for an old man. The old man experienced a mystery stroke, neither speaking nor capable of moving around as much anymore. The metaphysical concept conveyed in the movie is the power of evil practiced through Hoodoo and possession. The old man is unable to warn Caroline of the evil curse inside the home. 

Caroline experiences many strange moments attributed to the home itself. The old man wants to communicate with Kate, but he is unable to speak. The wife seems to be distant, though it is obvious that she is holding secret back. The Hoodoo curse is rather evil and disturbing. 

It is learned that a past African American housekeeper put a curse on the home using evil black magic powers. The Hoodoo dark magic enables a spirit to jump from one body to another. Therefore, the act of possession is utilized through practicing African Hoodoo dark magic.  

Caroline is later possessed. Her soul is exchanged with the past Hoodoo spirit that resides in the old woman. The lawyer's spirit is trapped in the old man. The African spirits jump from body to body. Caroline and the lawyer's physical bodies are now occupied with the African descendants. Caroline and the lawyer are now interested befriending Caroline's young female friend to possess her physical body.

Metaphysical movies convey beyond physical concepts such as spiritual, Aliens, magic, possession, ghosts, lucid dreaming, and other types of movies. The Skeleton Key is a dark magic movie that falls within the metaphysics realm rather than science. 

Watch The Skeleton Key to convey metaphysical movies.
