Creepy but boring

Rating: 4/10 (16 September 2017)

For those that don't know This is a re-make of the Stephen King classic (IT), the book was made into a mini-series in 1990 staring Tim Curry as Pennywise.
Now credit where it's due, the kids in the movie are amazing! I was strongly reminded of the cast in (stranger things) they were so good all around.
praise over now to the issues I had with it... The movie was a bit off for me, whenever a character was separated from a group he'd wonder around a dark empty place (as you do) and you are just waiting for Pennywise to show up. again and again they just repeated that cycle.
I think there were only one or two jump scares in the whole movie and I appreciated that but over all it got predictable quick, oh look that one kid left the group and is wondering in the woods/sewer/haunted house/library all alone, gee I wonder what will happen...
It didn't help that that Pennywise here was less of a character and more CGI effect, he was very off putting and the way he moved was just odd. Frankly I found George (the baby brother) creepier! I cringed every time he laughed.
I have seen episodes of (Are you afraid of the dark) scarier then this. If you want to feel creepy but in an uncomfortable way then this is for you. Might want to take a rent it though, you'll need to take a few breaks to get through it to break the monotony.
I give this one 4/10, all four stars go to the 7 child actors, they've earned it.
