One of the best horror movies in recent memory

Rating: 9/10 (16 September 2019)

Here is my review for the 2017 remake, "It". Minor spoilers will be discussed in this review:
I love this movie, it's one of the few remakes that surpasses the original, and it's by a huge margin. This was the first movie that had the guts, to show a child getting his arm bitten off. It totally payed off, and it's one of the best Stephen King movie moments, ever. I personally like Bill Skarsgård more than I do Tim Curry. Like I said, Tim Curry's Pennywise didn't possess any real threat. But, Bill Skarsgård's Pennywise looks and feels like he could potentially do a lot of harm, and I felt like he could definitely kill these kids. There are scenes in this movie that really do scare me, and the ones that don't definitely creep me out, this film had incredible tone. But not to be overlooked are the child actors. Every last one of them did an incredible job, they all really convinced me. My personal favorite was Eddie. He was hilarious. A big thing I want to talk about is the humor. Yes, there are a couple times when the humor undercuts the tension, but most of the humor was perfectly placed, and that's why this movie is hilarious. The adults too, are heavily improved in this movie, they are written so much better. The bullies I feel are a bit too threatening, they are introduced in the movie and they already feel like psychotic murderers. Still, I like them better here than in the miniseries, the actors are far better. I love the ending to this movie, it is so satisfying. I'm super excited for "It: Chapter Two", but I would've been fine if they left the story off here. This is one of the best horror movies in recent memory, and I could totally find myself watching it over and over.
Conclusion:
Would I Recommend?: Absolutely. This was a transcendent experience.
