Will make clowns scary for a new generation.

Rating: 9/10 (6 September 2017)

Making a remake or a new interpretation of a classic film is no easy task, much less when we have the original film still ingrained in our minds. New adaptations of classic horror films are an even greater risk, as there have been recent abysmal failures such as the remakes of A Nightmare on Elm Street, Fright Night, and the new version of Carrie, based on the novel by Stephen King.
Andres Muschetti took a huge risk by adapting one of Stephen King's best-known and iconic stories, his job was to create an iconic and scary Pennywise, and to lead a film with unknown actors with whom the audience can identify, and create scenes of terror and suspense that would traumatize new generations, and despite this great risk, the director majestically achieved his task.
IT is a great film, this time the Losers Club is led by the young actor, Jaeden Lieberher, who along with the charismatic Sophia Lillis and the rest of the gang give us performances worthy of much older actors, their emotive and sometimes funny interpretations not only make the audience truly identify with these characters and care for their well-being, but it also gets the viewer to see the mysterious events of the town of Derry from their eyes, and feel their emotions.
And as for Pennywise, Bill Skarsgård offers an interpretation that will no doubt scare audiences for years, his voice, his contortions, that sinister look, and his magnificent performance will make the 27-year-old actor become the nightmares of new generations to come.
Andres Muschetti doesn't make extreme use of CGI, which gives the film a more realistic touch, and his camera effects, plus the color variations not only recreate the year 1989 where this story takes place, but they also create a spooky atmosphere where the chaotic events that happen in that town that has been cursed feel intensified to a maximum level.
This film by far is one of the best films of the year, and one of the best horror adaptations that I have seen in my entire life. My rating is 9 out of 10.
I highly recommend that you go to theaters to enjoy IT, you will marvel at the incredible performances, the great landscapes, and maybe even the story will captivate you so much that there is a remote possibility that you'll float too.
