One of the best Adaptation of IT

Rating: 9/10 (8 September 2017)

WE ALL FLOAT DOWN HERE, COME WITH ME AND YOUR FLOAT TOO! Wow when i first heard they we're doing a remake of Tim Curry original penny wise IT i was a little sceptical about it working, this was because of recent reboot and makes from other films haven't been that great. With this Reboot of the TV mini series IT that starred Tim curry as the terrifying clown i'm glad to say that this is very "book accurate" which the TV series wasn't; this will please IT fans across the world.
What i will say is that this version of Pennywise's character play by the young brother of (Alex Skarsgård star of Tarzan ), Bill Skarsgård who's playing a very dark version which is brilliant has this heavy influence from nightmare on elm st films with a psychological nightmare feel that makes it very dark and creepy.
This works well with the brilliant acting for the child stars who some have a story of their own to which gives them a reason to come together, this is great because it follow what the original had where together they are strong which work for the story.
Another thing i did notice is that it doesn't quite follow what the original IT done which is brilliant for this film as it adds something different that doesn't seem like you're seeing the same film again, although it does have some element like the town bully which seem to be the original part from the film as the character have a different feel.
With penny wise himself it's all down to attention to detail that make this version more dark that Tim Curry which i was impressed with as Bill Skarsgård bring a more sinister feel to the character, it this head slightly down and eye looking up just under the eye brows look with a sinister smile and grin that make this version better that Tim Curry version in my opinion.
Yes i just said better as this version actually give this film this psychological creepy play with your mind theme that gives you shivers down your spine and give it an edge, special with the Japanese film cinematography with lighting and shadows it really give this film this great feel of Immersion that draws you in.
As great as this film is there is one element that for me lets the film down just slightly but i think this is because I've seen the original film i know the story, but for someone that has never seen the original TV mini film i think this will be frightening for them.
What also give this film a very hard core creepy psychological feel is It's lair, there was just something about this area of the film that gave this very dark child nightmare feel which just added to penny wise nature, this was a great addition to the film that the original didn't really step upon which give this film something new.
So if you a fan of the original IT i highly recommend this film as it a great film adaptation that is close to the book.
Dislikes : My only complaint for me in my opinion is the film isn't as Frightening as i hope it would be, but does have a psychological creepiness to it with does give it some frightening elements. I feel this film should've of had an 18 cert to go full on dark, maybe this could've of been truly frightening as i do feel the 15 cert held the film darkness back a little.
