IT ... is back

Rating: 8/10 (1 November 2017)

Though I feel like I could use this/headline probably sometime in the near future. But leaving this aside, let's get to the meat of things (no pun intended). It's been a while since I saw the first attempt on bringing this to the screen. This or IT being another story by Stephen King. The first attempt was made for TV, so that and the fact it's been a while I wouldn't be surprised if the effects are nowhere near this newer version and that makes sense.
Still I do remember Tim Curry doing a phenomenal job. Something Skarsgaard had to play against. I don't think you should compare myself, but I know that some may not be able to help themselves. Whatever the case, the new clown is terrifying as well. And the effects are really good. So while horror fans and hardcore horror movie watchers may not be as overwhelmed by this then the general audience, this still is a good film overall. And it still has a lot more "blood" in it, than one may expect. Just not exactly the way you may expect it ... so don't expect a blood fest. Expect a genuinely scary movie, that will leave an impression with many young ones ... maybe you are one of them
