It from 2017 is Fun, Ballsy, Updated--Just Not Too Spine-Chilling...

Rating: 8/10 (1 October 2017)

Now I reviewed the original (1990) It which was a Mini-Series, I personally consider it a film. Just like this one which was released this year and actually had surprisingly held up impressively well with its updates. The actors and actresses did very well like the original cast. But instead of it being about the late 50's/early 60's, they updated it to the late 80's. Which one could presume updated as in for millennial interests, but it does excellent in story and acting. The original (1990) film used practical effects and were more convincing, in my opinion. The digital effects in this one were good at points, other moments you just knew it was CGI. But I have to mention that kid who played Richie really must have enjoyed that role. I just had to mention his acting was charming and the other actors and actresses compliment well in the atmosphere and in their own charming way.
It was a surprise this remake was better than most out today. But is it me that this remake feels like the Godfather of Horror films? More Horror films need this! Good Luck to those actors and actresses!
