With a silent SH

Rating: 1/10 (18 October 2017)

I don't like horror films myself, I don't mind the Hammer films of the 1960's and 70's for their DIY charm and how they filmed during the daytime but turned the brightness down to make it look like night.
Generally though, horror films are the visual heavy metal to me: not the kind of thing you would choose to pay attention to and if you're one of those who genuinely like it as a genre, then you must have a screw loose.
It (with a silent SH) is like most 21st century horror films, all jumps and bursts of noise. More of a visual ride at the theme park than anything remotely scary and awful. This version loses even more of Stephen King's dialogue by setting it in the 1980's and that is a mistake. The only intrigue to Stephen King adaptations is the snippets of dialogue that ring true. What else can I say, this film is bullsh...
