Kid stuff

Rating: 7/10 (20 June 2018)

This is a veery watchable film that's well done in every department but I wouldn't call it horror, in the sense that the 1990 miniseries was horror. This felt more like a tween fantasy story. The miniseries is a dark, disturbing fable about how childhood trauma follows us through life. This is a kid-friendly buddy picture whose message is that you can defeat any bully by standing up to It. If the second half is just adult actors playing out the same trope it could get really annoying.
