Good movie, not the true horror you want

Rating: 7/10 (14 September 2017)

Going to the cinema catching this movie, i had very high expectations. I was going in hoping it would be the most terrifying movie i would ever have watched. I was expecting new nightmares, new fear of the dark but this was more an adventure movie.
i wanted it to be more scary than it was. Remembering the old TV movie from 1990 that actually gave me tons of nightmares growing up.
Don't get me wrong, its a good movie, well acted, well done and very nice.
It had new stuff into it so you cant look at old IT and expect something similar. Its two different movies, new dialogue, new things, new twists etc.
The only thing i didn't like about this movie is that its not the scary stuff i was hoping for.
the kids where acting great, same goes for the clown. The downsize of the movie, the thing that doesn't give it a full pot, is that... you never feel like you are getting chased, like it actually will get you if it gets you.
old IT was different, you get caught you die. So you always have the sense of dread, feeling like you will get caught and you fudged...
This is more like a fight than a run for your life. Giving it a more of an adventure feeling rather than a horror... But its nice to see the clown back in action... I just wanted to redo a few things, if i had the chance... what a movie it could have been.
as I sad, kids dialogue, kids acting, kids in the show GREAT!
