The Skeleton Key

Revealing mistake: When Ben falls from the roof and into the leaves during the storm, you can see the mat that he lands on move from under the leaves.

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Caroline is giving Ben his bath and she shows him her mirror, he thrashes about wildly, as he can see his old self. When Ben thrashes about, you can see the top of the mesh body stocking they use on actors when nudity is not intended.

More quotes from The Skeleton Key

Question: Can someone please explain the ending to me? Did Luke use the spell too?

s.ounder

Chosen answer: The spell was performed on Luke at some point in the past by Violet's husband. Throughout the film, "Luke" is actually Justify in Luke's body.

Xofer

Answer: Actually, as you see, the servants possessed the two children, so they didn't die right? And they both grew up to be violet and ben. Ben was ageing and became old so papa justify ended up taking control over Luke's (the lawyer) body and the real Luke was in ben's body. So papa justify and Luke had already switched bodies before the movie even started.
