Almost perfect horror film

Rating: 9/10 (7 August 2018)

I know a movie can't be perfect but i was this close to giving IT a 10.
The imagination of the scares was great. Bill Skarsgaard plays an incredibly menacing Pennywise. The scenes with the kids bonding told the story succinctly without a lot of film.
I loved the pacing, that the writers kept much of King's source material.
At no point did it feel cheesy, I was fully expecting it to be but was pleasantly surprised.
The effects were incredible, little Georgie mutating at the end of the movie into Pennywise was effing fantastic.
I'm sure on a second watch I'll change my mind, but at first glance this film is outstanding and a top contender for scariest movies this decade.
