IT (2017)
Now, before saying what I think of the film, I haven't read the book, and I've only watched clips from the miniseries that was released in the 90s. So despite knowing the general premise of the story, I don't know how it plays out.
Anyway, this was a really welI produced and directed film. The film had a very creepy aura about it, and it was built fantastically during the 2 hours the film went for. Many of the scares were well done, and were quite creepy. I think jumpscares were done a little too much, but I don't have a major issue with it - and I understand that every horror movie seems to need them these days.
I also found the writing to be on point as well, with the main characters actually feeling like actual characters rather than 1 dimensional people that are stupid idiots. I actually found myself caring about what happens to each of these characters. It helps that each of them were pretty good actors as well. The setting was really well established, and I felt that each of the areas explored were genuine and were believable locations. To be honest, I think that all horror needs to be R rated. Not just because of gore - which can very much enhance a scene when done right, but because the film feels less tethered as a result.
Personally, I found the main villain (Pennywise) to be good. I think he could have been better, but he served the role really well and did provide some creepy scenes. However, it's not really as campy as the 90s Pennywise (which may or may not be a good thing.)
Overall, I definitely think that this movie is worth watching. The best horror experience you'd get this year, and probably one of the better movie experiences as well. It's a good thing I didn't take Pinkie to the film, otherwise she might have had nightmares!
