Escaping Doppelgangers: "Coraline" Serves Up Adventure in a Parallel World
This delightfully odd horror movie presents a whimsically strange alternate reality to younger audiences.

Emmett is a 16 year-old boy living in a foster home with his 17 year-old brother Will. Their feelings towards life are jaded, but they handle it in different ways - Will chooses to walk the straight and narrow path, working hard in school and at his day-job. Emmett, however, chooses a different path - one that introduces him to the world of organized narcotic crime within the small town they inhabit. After Emmett wrongs the local crime-head, he’s caught in between the judgment of his brother and the danger of the life he’s chosen. With everything on the line, Emmett must choose whether to run from the damage he’s caused, or lean into the chaos that draws him in.
