→ A stop-motion film that somehow managed to score a kid-friendly PG rating (despite the source material’s adult subject matter), Coraline’s horror lies in its twisted imagery, adult-centric psychological themes and a constant feeling of everything always being just a little bit off. The beginning is simple enough: a young girl, starved for affection from parents who seem too busy to give it, discovers a doorway to a parallel world similar to her own but with seemingly loving and attentive parents. Most of Coraline’sfirst act plays out innocently enough but then soon dissolves into darker themes that prove blood and gore is not necessarily needed to make a successfully terrifying film. The “Other Mother”, whose voice drips with saccharine sweetness, lures children into the “Other World”, trapping them and sewing buttons onto their faces in place of their eyes (“so sharp you won’t feel a thing”) and ultimately transforms into a monstrous half human, half spider hybrid. Her final transformation into something that would terrify an adult, combined with an unsettling feeling of dread throughout the film, Coraline is filled with so much Nightmare Fuel that re-branding it as a horror film is more than appropriate.
