You don't get many horrors this good anymore

Rating: 8/10 (23 May 2019)

Most of the best horrors in history are mainly from decades ago, nowadays it's all about relying on jump scares without understanding uncanny valley or ambiguity when connecting with an audience. Uncanny vagueness is the key to an audiences weakness not sudden loud noises.
Stephen King's IT was a gem to watch with Tim Curry portraying the familiar clown Pennywise and when i heard that they were doing it again, like an updated version i couldn't help but be sceptical. Then watching it i have to say i am impressed. The story was on a strong point with a few cliche jump scares yes but the thrill was still there. Bill Skarsgard's portray of Pennywise was brilliant, i'd say Oscar worthy.
This version doesn't have as much cognitive dissonance as the 90s one did as it favours a more darker tone. Although that doesn't change it from being decent, not perfect but the best horror i've seen in a while.
