Truly frightening n almost on par with the mini series n the book.

Rating: 10/10 (7 September 2017)

The film opens in October 1988 with Bill Denbrough and his seven-year-old brother Georgie making a sailboat out of a sheet of paper from Bill's notebook. Georgie takes the boat out onto the flooded street and accidentally sails it down the gutter. As Georgie is peering into the drain, he meets a strange man who introduces himself as "Pennywise the Dancing Clown". Pennywise claims that the storm blew him into the sewers and offers Georgie a balloon. When Georgie reaches in to retrieve his boat, Pennywise grabs his arm and bites it off before dragging him into the sewer.
