I can't believe I have to say this about this movie but

Rating: 5/10 (7 September 2017)

The truth about this movie is that it's not scary. All of the content concerning the clown is pretty good but it's another one of those things where you're like "I wish he was in a different movie." Because they went way overboard with the comedy in this. In fact, the reason this is even rated R is not because of anything gruesome or scary. No, not at all. This is rated R because of the language. The movie is littered with d*** jokes and s*** jokes all throughout the entire movie from start to finish.
While the movie is well shot, good soundtrack and great cinematography, the scares that we came for do not deliver! They use every last predictable Hollywood horror cliché in the book for every scare that's not the clown.
And the finale. Okay, so the clown gets clowned. They literally end this clown to the point where the clown is scared of the kids and the kids aren't scared of the clown at all. None of them die by the way. There are no stakes. And yet the movie still tries to setup a sequel. Can you believe that?
Many of these characters I didn't even like. With the main character kinda being an a****** dragging their friends into danger chasing down what they already know is not real. The female character being poorly treated and the psychopathic bully who gets discarded from the film like he was never there in the first place.
No, this movie does not deserve a sequel and I hope it doesn't get one! Stop right where you are!
I may have to stop going to the movies. I really thought this was going to be a good one.
