令人费解的事情一件又一件的发生，卡罗琳打定主意要揭开这些秘密，破除巫术，把本从病痛的折磨中解脱出来。她手中的那把万能钥匙究竟 会给卡罗琳带来幸运还是邪恶呢？

斯坦利·纳尔逊对美国历史上最大规模的监狱起义进行了研究，与囚犯、记者和其他目击者进行了数十次新的采访。

The well received movie of 2005 "The Skeleton Key" has nothing to do with with "Skeleton Key 3, or it's predecessor, 2" both of the later are egotistical, self indulgent acting-out behaviors that one usually grows out of by the time they are out of high school, but in rare cases of prolonged adolescence you get nonsense scripts, second hand store clothing and costume store props with a very few (thankfully) cheap CGI thrown in for no apparent reason. What do you have to look forward to? Cheap shaky camera with close ups of, "Please look at me while I talk to you". All of this is taking place in a house and it's backyard. To relieve boredom we sometimes have some chick who's covered in blue poster paint remove her bra to show her breasts. Otherwise, just a lot of prancing around the set and acting stupid (no, it isn't satire, parody, conceit, burlesque or anything remotely intelligent). That's all - the end.

注意：这部电影并不是意外结局神作《万能钥匙》。
本片拍摄于2006年，而包含意外结局的电影《万能钥匙》拍摄于2005年。而后《万能钥匙2》《万能钥匙3》续集则是06版《万能钥匙》的导演为其作品拍摄的续集，与05版没有关系。
