Book + Movie= Bloody Terrifying

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2017)

I have never read any of the books and, until today, I had only seen 2 Stephen King movies; the 1990 release of IT (taken from an NBC television broadcast) and The Night Flyer on DVD. And neither one of them, or any of the scary scenes in all the movies I had ever seen, could've prepared me for this. From the trailers, to the premiere, to the final scene, this is truly one of Stephen King's finest works. The Bible speaks of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. I've come to regard and admire Stephen King, George Romero, Wes Craven, and Alfred Hitchcock as "The Four Horsemen of Horror".
Give me Dracula, The Wolfman, Godzilla (classic and modern), The Blob, all the 8-legged freaks, and you still won't be able to hold your ground against, or your bladder, when faced with the works of Stephen King. I applaud the entire cast and crews and I am not ashamed to say that I am absolutely terrified of IT.
In closing, and in the spirit of another one of the 4 horsemen of horror, let me take a page out of Wes Craven's book: We had chapter one. In chapter two, IT will be back for you.
