This movie was a horror film in of itself; to hell with zombies and ghosts and vampires and spirits and demons and whatnot; all these are very often jump-scare scary. This was hella scary. As in get in your mind scary.
See, this is the kind of horror I'd like to write. Screw ghosts, zombies, mummies-I want fucked up alter worlds and sad backstories. Don't give me jump scares, give me mindfucks.
I saw this in theaters. When the scene with all the crazy rats showed up, there was a kid freaking out yelling "Noo! NOO! NOOOOO!" they had to take him outside to chill out lol
I read the book when i was like eight, and I wasn't too affected. Cut to five years later, when I was twelve. I saw the graphic novel in the library and borrowed it. To this day, I still have nightmares.
Are you serious? It wasn't that scary, kid me never even flinched along with my younger brothers and rest of my family and you tell me it was terrifying. I advise you stay away from the windows on Halloween so you don't have a heart attack.
Holy crap, I thought everyone had forgotten about Coraline! It made me really happy to see this. I actually just watched it yesterday. And the day before. And the day before that.
I have a problem.
I watched this with my friend one day - I'd seen it before (when I was really young, so I couldn't remember anything) but she hadn't... We're both nearly 15 and it ended us slinking really far down under the sheets and trying not to scream... amazing movie but scary as shit
It's even creepier in the novel. The hand was a real hand, not made of needles. And there were so many darker, more twisted things.
I have a problem.
