  Watching this film, parts of it reminded me of 'Skeleton Key'. Both deal in some way with Voodoo, but that's where the similarities end.

  Stalk and slash
  
  This was a reasonably good horror a little like Jason and Michael Myers, but with attitude story line could have been bit better but overall worth a view.
