Creepy but humorous, this horror piece floats above expectations

Rating: 9/10 (9 September 2017)

I didn't have to high hopes going into this film but I was really surprised with the results. Instead of only cheap jump scares to completely make up it's run time, even though there are some, this film mainly has a creepy and suspenseful tone that lasts the entire film. Also the film gets you to care with all of the main characters and show off the great acting talent that the leads possess before diving deep into the clown mayhem. The leads all show great range, switching from dramatic to comedic scenes with ease. Pennywise is incredible in this film and the actor completely sells the creepy factor that will keep you on your toes. He made me wanting more. This is a great time at the theater and would gladly see it again.
