Hoodon't - The Skeleton Key (2005)
from ScaryCrit: A Black Horror Podcast · host Lauren La Melle and Jared Hudson
"So you wanted a twist, aye?" Well, you're gettin' one because our trope for this week is twist endings! Forget a locksmith--we've got The Skeleton Key (2005) to Crit this week. We unlock thoughts and feelings about twist endings, the perception and motives of the film's "antagonists," situational awareness across the characters and their cultures, and why this film personally gives Lauren the ick.
