A solid 7

Rating: 7/10 (24 September 2017)

I gotta say, this is not a horror movie, at all. I wasn't scared one bit, BUT, great performance by Skarsgard, refreshing take on the book, much darker than the original It movie. Even though it's a two-hour venue, it has great pace, there' s always something going on, it doesn't get dull, not once. The characters are well developed. Yes, the movie does generously fall into those awful horror movie clichés pitfalls (but, then again, so does the book), in case you were expecting something innovative. IT's costume was truly on point, none of that flashy yellow Ronald McDonald crap, it was actually pretty classy, had a "carnival of venice/ medieval buffoon" thing to it, which made the whole thing just right. Again, not a horror movie, especially for hard core horror fans, but it is a great movie for popcorn night. Totally recommend it. Go see it.
