All aboard the IT hype train!

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2017)

Elements I look for in a horror movie include 1. scenes that invoke the feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach 2. music that underscored the tone and builds suspense adding to my feelings of unease and 3. well done cinematography and acting that leads to my full immersion into the movie and gives me that adrenaline rush; that fight-or-flight instinct that has me death gripping the cup holder.
The IT remake hit the mark on each of these elements. It had enough nostalgia from the original while kicking everything up a notch that it will please both people new to the franchise and older Stephen King fans alike. Hell, even Stephen King was immensely pleased with how IT turned out!
10/10
