This movie needs a prequel. I would love to go back to how Justify and Cecil started all this with the brother and sister. Then how they got Ben and Violet right when they got the Lawyer
wait. the kids dont are brother and sister. so. before the ritual was made the brother and sister begun a 1nc3stu4l relathionship. thinking that who made the ritual was a couple
I feel a lot of people didn't catch that the circle in the flashback is the same one Cecil told Caroline it was a circle ment to keep her in not them out. So when the children switched bodies that's why they were siezing and couldn't speak. Just a little something I noticed after watching it again a few years later.
I told my ex-wife her mama was evil and she laughed it off. So after watching this movie i put some red bricj dust at door, she wouls always make excuses not to come hahahaha
Looking back at this for the second time, it’s very interesting that the way Mrs Devereaux is telling the story suggests she was there that night. She says ‘every muckety-muck was here’. If this happened before your lifetime and you weren’t present, you would probably say ‘there’
That's because Mrs Devereaux was in fact the little girl (after Mama Cecile transferred her soul into her body). She's telling the story from her own perspective, as the servent.
Good point. Thinking about it, she went into odd specifics as well for someone who apparently wasn't there themselves. Things like saying the guests were getting sexual with each other, the "find the children" game
It could also be grammatically correct for her to say “here” because it happened at the house where the scene is currently taking place , her telling the story to the younger lady x
U know for what it’s worth, I think Cecile and Justify were afraid to die cuz they knew they would have to face the music. They had power, yes but who gave them the power? I wonder if the deity that gave them the power would have liked that they murdered two innocent children to pay back their boss? I wonder what the deity would have done to them once they passed. Maybe that’s y they always transferred their souls to new bodies after that. To avoid facing the music. They just kept racking up the death toll to avoid the consequences.
@@DoubleO88 exactly, in 2005 people didn't make everything about race. But the other guy is right, if this was released now in 2022 and written by a black man or woman it would receive best picture no question.

Not going to lie, this movie didn’t really need anything more than it had. There was no gimmicks, no cringe moments just PURE acting, psychological horror & voodoo 😎
I wonder if the parents found out what happend to their kids. Maybe the slaves now in the bodys of the kids told them what they did. Maybe that was the true reason why the master killed his wife and later himself.What do you think?
They switch another time after that. The woman who tells the story says her and her husband bought the house from a brother and sister in 1962. Someone else mentions that the previous owners had strokes shortly after selling the home.
@@joshuabailey9291 Not to mention (to add on to what you said) is that she said the lynching occurred approximately 90 years before the events of the film, which would make the children's body's roughly 100 plus years old or so which would obviously be too old.
The man switched with that real estate man which is why he had his teachings and ring and his house and the old lady was waiting to transfer into someone new Ben was the young real estate man trapped in ben body she wanted a black girl hence the black girl who left and got away

*SPOILER "The children said it was their fault, that they had wanted to learn." That was Justify and Cecil trying to intervene. They wanted to stay alive and used hoodoo to their ends, but they aren't half as ghoulish as the racist lynch mob dancing over their bodies. It was ultimately Thorpe who murdered the innocents that night with his own hand.
I considered that, but I actually think playing "it was our fault" kind of kids was more of a "remember daddy, we're forgiving, we're good samaritans" line to guide Thorpe into thinking "those evil beings wanted to corrupt your innocent and pure (christian) children". They said that because they knew the Thorpes would lynch them all the same, and also as a way of washing their hands from their part in it, after all, they gave the parents the chance to save themselves (by "forgiving" the "servants"). But yes, Thorpe and the others did the murder and that can not be argued. I wonder if they learnt the truth, would serve them well (and I am guessing Cecile and Justigfy did eventually revealed the truth, most likely when they [Thorpe and his wife] were about to die).
They planned the whole thing. You have to watch it at least 3 times to realise this. I'm black and don't have sympathy for they lynch mob parents. But Papa and Mama planned it
@ I'm guessing your question goes to the comment above mine, ' "The children said it was their fault, that they had wanted to learn." That was Justify and Cecil trying to intervene'. They mean intervene by *stoping* the lynching. The children (actually the Cecile and Justify) suppossedly tried to stop the lynching saying "it's not their fault, it's ours". Had the Thorpes listened (or cared), their children would have lived and maybe told them the truth, but they didn't and brutally murdered their own children.
@ ah yes. I meant that's what the comment above meant. I don't think that myself. In fact I believe they only said that because they knew the mob would do the lynching all the same, Probably planed it ahead that way. Why do the ritual the exact night all the poweful whites in the town were reunited in the house if not?
@Ill lLlLl I obviously, wasn't referring to the kids you fucking moron who needs to be spoon fed everything. Calm down, it's just a movie loser, get a real friend. LMFAO!
Good spooky movie. Reminds me of getting my fortune told in Hernando Mississippi circa 1973. Drove down from Memphis to see the conjure woman. If anyone needs it there is an online shop which sells red brick dust. Be careful, y'all.
Little did they know, they already transferred their souls into the children's bodies. They literally hung and burned their own children alive. Wild 🕯️
Mystery film. Unexpected ending. But this is not important for me. The plot of this film can be interpreted and it will be applicable to each of us... Mysterious you say? People who are "over 40", I think, will understand what I mean. In my perception, the meaning of the film is much broader, though, there can still it's only I see it. But this movie is in my favorite collection and I watch it sometimes.
Kate Hudson's portrayal was one note...boring. Didn't play the stakes highly enough. Gena Rowlands was brilliant as always. John Hurt did the best he could and Peter Sarsgard was also as good. His turn at the end was good. Kate was the weak link and I think the movie suffered for it, but it is still one of my favorites of all time.
You have to think historically. These servants were probably part of the Jim Crow laws, meaning they might have been “free”, but they had no money or land after being free, so many stayed with their ex owners, worked for them in exchange for living arrangements aka new aged slavery or “crop sharers”. So, mama and papa had probably been in this family for their while lives, being passed down from their mothers as black children were whatever their mother was, so a freeman and woman slave could have children, but the children would be slaves owned by her owner…. So those children might be innocent now, but will more than likely grow up to be those “white supremacists” as we call them, but that was your average white person back then. See how they were drinking and partying as the bodies burned. This happened with every lynching. A man wrote it, saying how people in the front would take pieces of the body like teeth and hair as memorabilia. These were just average people going to these public lynchings. It would be a party. Trains would have reduced prices to go see a lynching live……. Children would go. So, mama and papa probably saw this racism behavior being passed down through the generations.
Ok youtube explained it, The old lady was really the black lady servant, But then the black lady servant🧏🏽♀️, jump into main character lady body and put her inside the old lady 👵the black man servant was inside the white lawyer man body🤵..and the lawyer inside the old man Ben old 👨 and in the story where the servants were burned it was actually the kids being burned the servants took their body until they got old they wanted younger bodies

This is the first movie that really scared me especially having a grandparents that told me about hoodoo.
Do u believe?
That escalated quickly! I mean that really got out of hand fast!
And to think the parents did that to their own children without even knowing it.
best film i've saw in a long time!, Felt thinner when i woke up due to intense movie sweatin!! ha totally worth it!
Skeleton Key uses hoodoo
Get Out uses “science”
Hoodoo better and more powerful
*SPOILER "The children said it was their fault, that they had wanted to learn." That was Justify and Cecil trying to intervene. They wanted to stay alive and used hoodoo to their ends, but they aren't half as ghoulish as the racist lynch mob dancing over their bodies. It was ultimately Thorpe who murdered the innocents that night with his own hand.
I considered that, but I actually think playing "it was our fault" kind of kids was more of a "remember daddy, we're forgiving, we're good samaritans" line to guide Thorpe into thinking "those evil beings wanted to corrupt your innocent and pure (christian) children". They said that because they knew the Thorpes would lynch them all the same, and also as a way of washing their hands from their part in it, after all, they gave the parents the chance to save themselves (by "forgiving" the "servants"). But yes, Thorpe and the others did the murder and that can not be argued. I wonder if they learnt the truth, would serve them well (and I am guessing Cecile and Justigfy did eventually revealed the truth, most likely when they [Thorpe and his wife] were about to die).
They planned the whole thing. You have to watch it at least 3 times to realise this.
I'm black and don't have sympathy for they lynch mob parents. But Papa and Mama planned it
@ I'm guessing your question goes to the comment above mine, ' "The children said it was their fault, that they had wanted to learn." That was Justify and Cecil trying to intervene'. They mean intervene by *stoping* the lynching. The children (actually the Cecile and Justify) suppossedly tried to stop the lynching saying "it's not their fault, it's ours". Had the Thorpes listened (or cared), their children would have lived and maybe told them the truth, but they didn't and brutally murdered their own children.
@ ah yes. I meant that's what the comment above meant. I don't think that myself. In fact I believe they only said that because they knew the mob would do the lynching all the same, Probably planed it ahead that way. Why do the ritual the exact night all the poweful whites in the town were reunited in the house if not?
@@jman4668 racists and the descendants of enslavers deserve no mercy.
1:30 Jay Z & Beyonce???
RIP, they killed innocent children
Shouldn't have been racist. How many innocent Black kids were killed during those times?
@Ill lLlLl I obviously, wasn't referring to the kids you fucking moron who needs to be spoon fed everything. Calm down, it's just a movie loser, get a real friend. LMFAO!

This is to horror movies what Dark City is to sci-fi movies. Super undervalued.
Good spooky movie. Reminds me of getting my fortune told in Hernando Mississippi circa 1973. Drove down from Memphis to see the conjure woman. If anyone needs it there is an online shop which sells red brick dust. Be careful, y'all.
We need a Prequel series or Movie. Thank You
I’m so sad that the kids are the ones that got murdered 😭 just in papa justify and mama ceciles body’s.
Dam I was so into it I forgot I was watching a TH-cam clip
That's so creepy, a great horror movie!
So the children souls were actually in the servants bodies??? So those people hanged and burnt the children???? 😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰
boo hoo
Little did they know, they already transferred their souls into the children's bodies. They literally hung and burned their own children alive. Wild 🕯️
This was the last movie I watched with my mom. I love it but it’s so bittersweet.
Now I see where Jodan Peele got the concept for Get Out imo.
Mystery film. Unexpected ending. But this is not important for me. The plot of this film can be interpreted and it will be applicable to each of us... Mysterious you say? People who are "over 40", I think, will understand what I mean. In my perception, the meaning of the film is much broader, though, there can still it's only I see it. But this movie is in my favorite collection and I watch it sometimes.
So how is its meaning broader? And how is it applicable to all of us?
LFC 77 it’s not. She just wants to sound smart
@@MsAakifa BUT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NOOOOOO FUCKIN SENSE
"All
That
"POWER"
"RAGE"
"INSANITY.."
The Party
Was OVER!!"
YEAH.... OVER for their CHILDREN
"all that POWER, RAGE, INSANITY"
A personal Favorite-
I don’t understand why this movie wasn’t more of a hit, it’s so tense and creepy
Kate Hudson's portrayal was one note...boring. Didn't play the stakes highly enough. Gena Rowlands was brilliant as always. John Hurt did the best he could and Peter Sarsgard was also as good. His turn at the end was good. Kate was the weak link and I think the movie suffered for it, but it is still one of my favorites of all time.
Oh shit…….I literally had to read the comments to truly understand the children Part !!! 😮😮😮😮
Same it's been years I just watched the movie again earlier I was left with so many questions
So this is where Behind her Eyes got the story from.
true
Yup. As soon as I saw it, I thought Skeleton Key. One of my favorites.
Brilliant film.
My only issue with Mama Cecilia & Papa Justify is that they're targeting innocent people to swap bodies with....
That's how I feel about mass shooters. Like, what a waste of crazy.
You have to think historically. These servants were probably part of the Jim Crow laws, meaning they might have been “free”, but they had no money or land after being free, so many stayed with their ex owners, worked for them in exchange for living arrangements aka new aged slavery or “crop sharers”. So, mama and papa had probably been in this family for their while lives, being passed down from their mothers as black children were whatever their mother was, so a freeman and woman slave could have children, but the children would be slaves owned by her owner…. So those children might be innocent now, but will more than likely grow up to be those “white supremacists” as we call them, but that was your average white person back then. See how they were drinking and partying as the bodies burned. This happened with every lynching. A man wrote it, saying how people in the front would take pieces of the body like teeth and hair as memorabilia. These were just average people going to these public lynchings. It would be a party. Trains would have reduced prices to go see a lynching live……. Children would go. So, mama and papa probably saw this racism behavior being passed down through the generations.
it's a freaking horror movie, you clown.. of course they'll target innocent or just people they want to torment.
Dude if you had magic and live forever wouldn't you?
this movie is so underrated
I Love this movie, It is very Haunting.. I Would LOVE To see a part 2 to this... Somehow It's discovered all that is going on and.........
WONDERFUL FILM! It’s very like The Others (2001) I mean story wise. Very surprising end.
Ok youtube explained it, The old lady was really the black lady servant,
But then the black lady servant🧏🏽♀️, jump into main character lady body and put her inside the old lady 👵the black man servant was inside the white lawyer man body🤵..and the lawyer inside the old man Ben old 👨 and in the story where the servants were burned it was actually the kids being burned the servants took their body until they got old they wanted younger bodies
I absolutely love this movie. Especially the end.❤
Their soul is not getting old
