I hate to say it, but disturbing.

Rating: 8/10 (28 November 2009)

Coraline is an incredibly creepy and disturbing film. Not saying that that is a bad thing. The film is deranged too. The last half hour or so really gave me the shivers. I like the clay mation movies a lot, and I liked the style that the film had, but it's chills sort of ruined it for me.
Coraline is a visual delight. In 3-D it is alright. Well, I watched the 3-D version at home so really I can't call that 3-D, but it was. Coraline has a Tim Burton style to it, I like it, but it is a little creepier than something like The Nightmare before Christmas or Corpse bride.
Coraline is the story of Coraline Jones(voiced by Dakota Fanning), a girl who has moved yet again and has nothing to do. One day she discovers a door that leads to another world. Where everything is like the opposite. Coraline at first loves this place, but then she gets creeped out by it once she learns about the eyes. As do we. Throughout the whole movie.
Coraline isn't the best animated film of the year. I think Robert Zemeckis' Christmas carol or Up is the best. Emo people will eat Coraline up. I did at first, then my opinion started getting lower and lower. Coarline is indeed a good film, but that last half hour is scary. I recommend that children don't watch it. I really do. I didn't think that this was as good as The nightmare before Christmas, but I am still recommending it.
