Great Movie

Rating: 9/10 (11 September 2017)

Based on the novel by Stephen King, "It" is a story of seven children who are considered outcasts in school, their everyday fears overshadowed by a creature that has awakened, taking the form of a clown (played by Bill Skarsgard). Summer is supposed to be a time of fun for children. Not so for the seven outcasts — calling themselves the Losers — who have to fight a war on two fronts: the terrors that most children face; and the supernatural entity that threatens to kill them one at a time unless the Losers Club bands together and takes the fight to the creature.
My most memorable, movie moment of "It" is the scene when the girl member of the Losers is attacked by her father who has been molesting her. This scene alone makes the movie unfit for young children, and disturbing for most people to watch.
"It" should bring back many childhood memories of those who watch it. The best of times (summer days of playing, hanging out with friends and teasing each other, first crush on a girl) and the troubling times (being a loner, feeling like a loser, the start of a girl's period, being bullied, the mental/verbal/sexual abuse that some parents inflict on their children) are vividly and sometimes graphically exposed in "It." Although most of the lead actors are children, "It" is meant for adults, and adults will have a great time watching this movie that is horrifying, funny, and very, very well made.
