Not worth the hype

Rating: 8/10 (10 September 2017)

I went for the movie without having any knowledge what so ever of what it was and how it was going to turn up. Movie started with a scene which terrified me to my very soul. I was actually afraid and that scene just raised my bar of expectations. What happened afterwards was clearly not what I expected.
As the trailer suggests, it's about a town where children keep going missing from time to time. First half focuses on this very concept and a bunch of children (who call themselves losers) keep seeing this clown who tries to scare the hell out of them.
Second half gets slower where Bill (Jaeden Lieberher) and his friends tried to find the missing kids. At the end of the second half, you might feel that a lot could have been done with the movie's ending but the directors/writers didn't try that hard. I kept loosing interest as the movie reaches the last 20 minutes.
It's not like one of those traditional horror movies which relates to ghosts or super-natural powers. Though I loved the new concept, I still believe that movie is definitely not worth the hype that it is getting.
As somebody in the reviews section said: "IT truly is the scariest movie of all time... If you're 10 years old or younger, maybe. ". I completely agree with this.
