Teenage Angst meets Stephen Kings' Ego....

Rating: 3/10 (7 September 2017)

This for me is is a theater of the absurd ludicrous movie.
In a small town a group of teenagers are going through puberty and other rites of passage including body development and monthly cycles.
This in my view causes many of them to collectively imagine an evil presence-maybe a fear of the onset of adulthood-which is played out in various gruesome scenes featuring a killer clown. Notice that the macabre events seem to only arise in the presence of or in the minds of the children.
Whilst Stephen King is a brilliant writer, the problem is that his stories are usually totally ridiculous.
No doubt many film reviewers and others will rave over this nonsense which ominously reveals this is just a start being called : Chapter 1.
There are a few scenes that will have some viewers frightened plus the cinematography is good, yet despite these pluses I can only award this picture:
3/10.
