This is an extremely original, extremely well-crafted movie... But I didn't enjoy it. It's simply too eerie. The button-eyed parents gave me an extremely squicky feeling right from the very start, and the ghost children absolutely terrified me. I do like scary movies, but I like ones where at the end I feel like I've come back to safety, or at least stability. Coraline left me feeling unstable and nervous long after the film ended. 3 stars.

Stuff from Neil Gaiman always leaves me feeling rather unbalanced. I tend to be afraid to crack open one of his books. (I did, however, enjoy Coraline a lot.)
