Disappointed

Rating: 5/10 (10 September 2017)

I was so hoping that this would stand out as one of the scariest remakes of recent times. But unfortunately it was far from the spectacle that I anticipated and felt like it started to drag in parts.
The jump scares were weak and I think only one actually got me. My wife was dreading seeing it because the whole idea of a scary clown freaked her out, but even she walked away from the cinema asking what the big deal was?
However saying that, I have to applaud the acting from the kids in the film as their parts were well played and they performed the funny punchlines with brilliant timing, much to the amusement of everyone in the audience.
The question is? Would I watch it again? I reluctantly say yes, but only if nothing else was on TV, but personally I would rather watch the original.
