So basically they switched bodies with the children and the ones that were hanged were actually the poor innocent kids 😶

[@salvadorquiauhtlazollin6625]

Exacto

[@Gbari7]

Such a terrible terrible thing to happen to someone. Having to watch your body being lynched and burned... I'm surprised they turned out ok after the trauma...

[@honeyaakira_]

Poor innnocent?

[@benjamin1403]

@@honeyaakira_ yes the children who did nothing wrong to the voodoo couple and were you know CHILDREN who ended up getting hung for witch craft they didn’t do because they switched bodies when the voodoo couple did a spell on them.

[@SF-sl7fi]

Yeah that was really fcked up. And then they look "shocked" that the "children" were lynched. Like ummm wtf were they expecting to happen? Maybe they didnt actually think the whole plan through....

[@tarynsarvas604]

This movie needs a prequel and a sequel.

[@josephhernandez1885]

Agreed!

[@therebel4332]

A prequel for sure. How they got the lawyer before spying Caroline. A sequel wouldn’t work in that we now know the backstory though, it would be just them trying to steal another pair of bodies, only it’d be given the usual woke and over the top gimmick.

[@x4Sanchox4]

@@therebel4332 can't forget about Caroline's friend. She had knowledge and warned her to stay away. She had family that practiced. Maybe in the sequel it would be her getting Caroline back to her body as the lawyer.

[@gbear2253]

I wish they did a prequel and sequel! One of my favorite horror movies! I LOVE THIS MOVIE

[@x4Sanchox4]

@g bear it would be nice but too dark to make it a hit.

[@Ktonrider]

Shes talking to mama Cecile, this movie f s with your head! 0:59 subtle hint, she’s smoking the same kind of cigarettes

[@steph8703]

But they killed their own kids cus the couple switched bodies wit em

Same

[@danitaangel3819]

I remember seeing this movie when it first came out in 2005 it could have been better, I was 15. Old days.

[@abrahamisaacmuciusiii9192]

I was 6 the year this movie came out. Caroline's dream scene is what terrified me about the Skeleton Key.

Ty sweetheart.

[@gemstract]

The answer is add a line

[@lizzyp174]

So what happened to the children? I must've missed that part Or was Mrs deveraux the girl all grown up? I thought they said they added years to their lives by stealing the years others had left. Until they eventually wanted to switch bodies 😂

[@TamekaFrye-od6ye]

Those were the kids that was hung they switched bodies just in time 😢

[@POWER2DAGODZ]

The Kids Died When The Root Workers Switch Into Ben & Violet

[@louche2388]

Annoying editing kinda ruins this scene. It doesn't really convey the kids in the adults bodies

[@Gbari7]

It's not supposed to. At that point in the story the audience doesn't know about the body swapping voodoo. That's what makes the twist so shocking at the end.

[@louche2388]

@@Gbari7 they should have shown it from a different angle at the end then

[@benjamin1403]

it’s supposed keep you guessing till the twist at the end but I think your right this scenes editing is annoying with the constant camera movement and constant flashing back and forth black and white to colour again etc . It’s still a good movie overall though.

[@river5694]

You haven't aged on bite have you

[@proxjayant]

😂😂😂😂no idea what's happening

[@theo-jamesmoulton2000]

It's fairly self explanatory

[@kraff2988]

@@theo-jamesmoulton2000 actually no, it’s definitely not self explanatory considering there’s a lot more going on then what you are told. There’s a twist at the end that explains what is really happening. The slaves used the voodoo to do a spell that allows them to switch bodies. So while the party was happening the slaves used that to sneak off with the kids and trick them into joining them so they could then use voodoo spell to switch bodies with the kids. So when they dragged the slaves down stairs and set them on 🔥and hung the slaves, it was actually the children who were being hanged. Meanwhile the slaves were now in the children’s bodies while inside watching the real children be hung cuz of the voodoo spell they tricked them with. So basically, the parents actually ended up hanging their kids and kept/raised the slaves thinking it was their children.

[@benjamin1403]

@@kraff2988 good explanation but they weren’t slaves they were servants the films set in like the 1910s/1920s
