It review

Rating: Null/10 (6 May 2020)

This updated adaptation of Stephen King's bloated horror novel shifts the era to the 1980s and focuses solely on the children's encounter with the malevolent clown, Pennywise. It still feels rushed, though, and comes across as a series of - admittedly impressive - set pieces rather than a fully realised narrative. Skarsgard somehow manages to out-creep Tim Curry as Pennywise.
