Better than the Original!

Rating: 9/10 (8 September 2017)

Now before I start, I know the Original wasn't a Film, but a 2 Parter TV Series. But that don't mean this vision doesn't replicate & remake the original vision. Just wanted to clarify that.
Now I caught a screening of this at my local & was blown away by how epic IT was! See what I did there...! Anyway, it was dark, gory, bloody & extremely creepy & sinister!
The Pennywise in this vision is far more creepy & sinister looking than in the original, not to mention with the amount of clown scares going about over the past couple of years in the UK, this really added to that fear & phobia, not to mention how it connects with a new generation on what we find scary & sinister! It's also perfect timing too!
The story in this vision is from the kids POV, so that mean in maybe 2019/2020, we'll see Part 2 with from the adults POV! It'll be great as I'm looking forward to it!
The film unleashed a lot more & was simply more extreme in terms of fear factor! The gore was a lot more intense & realistic! So much so I'm surprised this wasn't an 18 certificate, as this film was rated a 15!
As I said before, Pennywise was a lot more creepier in this vision that he was in the 1990 vision, as he looked too cartoon like & simply not scary enough! I also felt the dialogue was more real to life in this too!
Only thing I would say I disliked about this film was the run time, I felt the film dragged towards the end & was a bit too long, but I suppose considering the book (which I've never read) it's pretty short in comparison!
Overall, I say this was epic & great film, aside from the run time, it was a truly epic remake, with a dark, sinister & very gory twist on it!
9/10
