IT Is Very Likely An Instant Horror Classic

Rating: 9/10 (15 September 2017)

Horror movies have been having a hard time pleasing a lot of horror fans lately. There just has not been any kind of quality product in quite some time. "It" very much changes that. It's been so long since we have had a good horror movie -- With great writing and acting, interesting characters and good direction all in the same film -- that this will likely be an instant horror classic.
It's very well done. The clown is creepy, menacing, intimidating and scary as hell. Hats off to a job well done with that character. The kids and characters are all great. The story is well done and it keeps you interested, but there are several holes in it. Spoiler alert -- There is a clown in this movie and some people die. If you didn't know that, you are probably at the wrong movie. I'm going to mention it here
There are a few things that left you scratching your head -- Like why nobody was asking questions about missing people or how certain characters got away with the very illegal actions. For example, one person kills another and no one explains how they plan to get away with it or why police are not involved. You can't just kill someone, leave them where they are, walk away and act like that was a normal thing that just happened and no one is going to care.
My other problem was a hole in the story adaptation. I know from the book and from the 1990 version of IT, that the clown fed off of fear. Fear drives him, and nobody really explains it well like they should. It adds a depth to the story you can't just figure out on your own.
But -- If those are the only two things I could find wrong, then I say they got IT right. Well done.
