an incredible rebuild of an epic novel

Rating: 8/10 (9 September 2017)

This movie was single-handedly the best of its gender so far. I'm not gonna compare It with the latest release Annabelle, since the two of them share so little. While Annablle focus is giving us a bunch of scares, building up a dark atmosphere that compensates the lack of neutral dialogues, the movie It perfectly combines scary-creepy elements with comedy ones, and God, how did it blend so well. I read the book a few months ago, but I can recall of everything important, and I believe I saw at least 80% of the first half in the screenplay. It felt just good to point a scene out and shout "OMG, it's exactly like this on the book!". when I left the theater I was in awe. The scenes was very well shot, and Bil Skarsgard was amazing as Pennywise. I'm looking forward for part 2.
