IT - Movie review

Rating: 9/10 (8 January 2018)

I'm not a big fan of thrillers or horror movies, but when i eared that this movie was happening, i was very excited and very curios to see what this movie could live up to.
"IT" is a movie that is about how a group of kid in the little town of Derry, and how this kids come together to fight against Pennywise. A demonic entity that has taken this town over the years and now he has come back to cause some disasters.
This movie is one of the best thrillers in recent years, not only for the originality, but for the way is directed, edited, and produced. The production design here is very good, very creepy and dark. From the way this film is directed, you don't even know when the clown will show up again and when is shows up, is very scary.
Talking about the clown in this movie (Pennywise) Bill Skarsgård does a magnificent job in this film, he is very scary. Is a very original villain and i was very happy with the way they handled his look and the visual effects to make it even more scary. Keeping on with the performances, the kids in this movie are brilliant, each kid has his own fear, and Pennywise will use that to manipulate them. And you see their fear be represented by things that Pennywise show to them, but also in real life. The tension inside this group of kids that they are going to fight against something that they don't understand all that much, is great, and you really feel that you are with them in this battle, and you feel that you want to help them.
Inside this movie there are some things that took my breath away, and I couldn't be happier with this film and i want to see it again.
This is one of the best movies of the year, but there are some issues that at times distracted me. For example, in the first act, they show every single fear of each of this kids and we see some very horrifying things happen to them, this all segment feels like they have to show their fear quick because they are gonna keep going, and it feels kind of rushed. Those scenes are not bad, in fact are very good and breath taking , but i don't like the way they put them together. Also, in this group of kid, there is one called Mike. This young actor give a very good performance, but his character is one that we don't learn so much about. We learn about what is afraid of and all that stuff, but we don't know anything else about him. And in some scenes, the group has to come back together, and he just randomly shows up. Instead of the other boys that the talk before they meet again.
This are issues that bug me, but not in a great way like "¡Aaah!, ¡I hate that!" Is nothing like that. This are some issues that could happen in any movie so, doesn't really matter.
So guys, "IT" is a very good thriller and one the best Stephen King's adaptations of all time. I looking forward to the sequel in 2019 (I'm not sure if that is the year that the sequel is released) and this is, with out a doubt, one of my favorites movies of 2017.
