As Entertaining & Eerie as Promised

Rating: 7/10 (18 February 2019)

The movie has great characterization compared to the average horror. What it lacks in scares, it makes up for with great atmosphere and world building. The movie strolls along at a brisk pace and before you know it, you start to feel for the characters and enjoy spending the summer with them.
Very quotable and eerie, IT still suffers from some logical fallacies (but which horror doesn't?) and has characters and scenes that seems out of place (a certain scene with a cop and his son comes to mind), but it is entertaining enough that by the end you don't focus on that.
