Coraline

So Coraline should be another level of creepy considering i have the disposition more pitiful than the cowardly lion but it has to be said that this really striked me as being shockingly dark for a childrens' film.  Don't get me wrong though!  The stop-motion animation was a treat for the eyes and the music quite dark and satisfyingly chilling.  For those who don't know, it's about a girl called Coraline who moves house and her parents' are very busy and stressed out and have zero time for Coraline.  In her boredom she eventually finds a portal to a parallel world where her 'other mother' lives, originally a paradise but as time progresses you see how she is trying to trap Coraline in her web of deceit and lies with an ultimate aim of keeping her there.  It's impossible to appreciate how much work has gone into this mini masterpiece
