F-ckin' LOL at the 'masterpiece' reviews!

Rating: Null/10 (11 September 2017)

Anyone that believes this picture is a masterpiece is a bad tit. I'm not even gonna compare it to the 1990 mini-series because I thought that was a load of old cobblers too. However, there is at least 1 redeeming feature from the 1990 version, and that is the criminally underrated Tim Curry.
The 2017 update relies heavily on the so called: jump scare; something I find utterly irritating in modern horror. I cannot think of anything more mundane than a non-scary visual accompanied by a loud noise stab to get a reaction from an audience. Just f-ck right off with that silly shite. Aside from some dodgy looking CGI the production values appear pretty good for the most part; although the 'abandoned house' reminded me of The 'Burbs (1989).
Also, how weird-looking is Sophia Lillis (Beverley)? I actually thought she was related to Bill Skarsgård (Pennywise) what with her odd shaped face. In fact, her freaky mush creeped me out throughout the running-time, so I guess that's 1 genuine scare from this below-average horror.
