    It (2017) is an engaging and atmospheric horror movie, although I honestly wasn't scared at all 🫠. The only thing that got me was one somewhat unexpected jump scare, and that was it. Throughout most of the movie, I laughed so much that at one point it felt like I was watching a comedy. The acting was pretty good. I especially liked the romance between Bill and Beverly, and Richie's jokes - they added some much - needed humor and helped lighten the tense atmosphere 😅. My rating: 8/10…

    Worthwhile in every sense It might be unfair to review this together with the Chapter 2 from 2019, but I don't think they are meant to be watched separately. This is a worthy successor to the 1990 version of this tale. No, I know, Curry isn't in this one, and it is a crying shame, but Bill does an excellent job and so does everyone else on this cast. It is a high-end production of a great story, and more than worthwhile to watch.

    Every 27 years, the town of Derry experiences sudden, violent and inexplicable mayhem. In 1989, a group of school children rather unkindly called "The Losers Club" decide it is for them to investigate just what has happened. Led by "Bill" (Jaeden Martell) whose younger brother was a victim, these brave kids are soon on the trail of the shapeshifting "Pennywise" - a being from another dimension who frequently takes the shape of a clown. Question is - are these youngsters any match for this…

    Greatest remake of a movie ever made in my opinion. Even way scary then the original. Remade the death scenes way better as well. Love it!

    Great acting, memorable characters. One of the best (horror?) films I've watched.

  • accioconnor @accioconnorTMDB reviews · Oct 3, 2017

    It is a movie that looked interesting, but I wasn't necessarily anticipating, because it had the potential to be awful. After seeing it, I can say that while it is good, I don't think it's nearly as good as other people are saying it is, and it had the potential to be. Starting off with the good, the film has some fantastic performances from the kids. I think the best performances in the film are from Andy Skaarsgard (or however you spell it) for Pennywise, and the kid who had asthma. I don't…

    Something certainly rings true in the horror thriller It that capitalizes on that common known fear that clowns are creepy annoyances to those that have an intense phobia towards them. In the case of It’s dastardly powder-faced joyboy or shall we say corrosive killjoy Pennywise the Dancing Clown, he definitely takes the cake in terms of his treacherous tendencies to quiet the unsuspecting kiddies in devious fashion. Here is a tip, parents, do not invite the poisonous Pennywise to your kids’…

    If you are gonna watch this movie go to the theatres and watch it...It's way more scarier than Annabelle: Creation and you will have lots of jump scares too.

    More Fucked-Up-Coming-of-Age than Monster-Movie-Slasher-Horror. Which is what it should be, but perhaps not what it's marketed to be. Stephen King's It is one of my all time favourite books, and I don't know that it will ever get a faithful adaptation (totally understandable seeing as the thing is 1200 pages and contains a multi-book spanning mythology of Space Gods and Turtle vomit), but this does a pretty good job of interpreting the feeling of the novel, even if it's not a great adaptation…

    This movie went right to the trash. I cannot believe what Warner Bros has done for this piece of trash. Yes, there have been rave reviews for this movie, but we recommend that you do not mind them, as we should not be teaching children on how to safely get sodomized by a monster. These directors' brains are also in the trash. Now let's put the MPAA R rating right into the trash where it is supposed to go. Final warning: Don't let your kids watch trash.

    "Skarsgård goes to hell and back to craft a truly malevolent creation, utterly believable as the black soul of King’s cursed small town..." Read the full review here: http://screen-space.squarespace.com/reviews/2017/9/6/it.html
