A successful transition to the big screen

Rating: 9/10 (14 September 2017)

This was a very good horror film which captures the darkness of the book by Stephen King and transfers very well to big screen. The acting was very good with Bill Skarsgard delivering a convincing and fantastically unhinged performance as Penny Wise (shades of Heath Ledger's Joker) and in my opinion a better performance than Tim Curry's portrayal of the same character in the previous version. The kids performances were very good with some humorous comments offering much welcomed light relief from the more horrific scenes!
