IT is good but not very scary

Rating: 7/10 (30 October 2019)

Despite it being an entertaining movie the first chapter of Stephen Kong's IT is not as scary as it should be. What gets in the way is it's big budget slickness that feels a bit like a kids movie after a while. The performances are all great especially Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise who on his own would have been terrifying if the CGI sheen hadn't gotten in the way. Definitely worth the watch.
