One Of the better horror remakes

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2017)

I guess one of the most important things to think about when seeing this movie, and if you haven't yet, wtf, is to forget all you know about the original Tim Curry version, and about 70% of the book. When I first heard they were remaking this, I was excited and cautious, coz I mean, I grew up with Tim Curry being Pennywise,and didn't think Bill Skarsgaard could fill his (clown) shoes. And while many prefer skarsgaards cock eyed Pennywise, I still prefer Curry's version. There are quite a few changes in this remake. To make the story more modern, it now takes place in the late 80's, instead of the 50's like the book and original version did. There are also a lot of parts that were in the book that are in this version, where they were left put in the time curry version. But all in all, this is a high mark in horror movie remakes. It is also the highest grossing horror movie in recent times. My only gripe about it, is that they placed a lot of humor in this, especially between Eddie and Stan, and this often distracts from the horror of everything that's going on.
