Coming of age mixed with horror!

Rating: 8/10 (23 September 2017)

I really enjoyed this movie! Don't compare the Pennywise in this movie with the Pennywise performed by Tim Curry in the mini series. Bill Skarsgard did an excellent job to create a completely different pennywise. Here it's a clown with some kind of unpredictable behaviour. He switch fast from a childlike innocence appearance to a monster with a psychedelic smile and multiple rows of sharp teeth. But it's not pennywise who steels the show. This is more a coming of age movie and the young actors are performing absolutely amazing. The story lines of the young actors are worked out very carefully and I'm glad that the part with their grown up selves will be continued in the next movie, chapter two. I recommend everybody to see this movie but don't expect a slasher horror movie.
