"Best Horror Movie Of 2017"

Rating: 8/10 (26 October 2017)

IT directed by Andi Muscheitti is a coming-of-age horror thriller. It's not just another horror movie where the makers try to scare the viewers by throwing too much violence on screen. This film has a well made script which talks about friendships, fears within teenagers, their bonding and so on. The film tells us the story of seven kids led by a kid names Bill, who are bullied,who find themselves in a situation facing a demon names Penniwise, the dancing clown. For any horror movie to work out, it should have the fear factor which IT has and that too in well proportions. I would like to mention the scenes which scared me out of hell but it would doing injustice to the movie. Those scenes are to be experienced. But the film, as I said before, does not rely too heavily on the horror factor but also has its own light moments. The bond between the characters are done well and you feel for them, such is the way of presentation. Technically too, the film does not disappoint. The Music and the Background Score (Benjamin Wallfisch) was terrific. The cinematography (Chung-hoon Chung) was also good. Editing (Jason Ballentine) was done neatly. Performance wise, every actors have done their roles neatly. Be it Jaeden as 'Bill' or Bill Skarsgard as "Pennywise", all were good. So make sure that you watch this movie or should I say you your own time for IT. My rating: 4/5
