IT's uneven pacing and head scratching scenes ultimately cause it to fall short.

Rating: 6/10 (12 September 2017)

I went into this movie expecting a darker horror movie about a kid killing clown. What I got was more a very uneven and strange film. A movie that transitions from dick jokes into creepy sexual dad/daughter vibes back into dick jokes then into a CGI ridden Pennywise scene. Making the movie come across uneven and messy in my opinion. It's as if they could not decide if they wanted a light hearted child driven adventure tale like "The Goonies" or a dark child driven horror film like "The Girl Next Door". What the viewer gets is something in the middle that kind of had me leaving the theater saying "meh". As a horror fan and just a general fan of all movies I will not be returning to re-watch or recommend this movie. Also a side note the kids cleaning up a blood soaked bathroom only they can see in a lighthearted musical montage scene almost made me pack it in early, absolutely horrendous. I'm giving the movie a 6/10 because it has some laugh out loud moments and kept me entertained through out. Sadly it's not very scary but some of the Pennywise scenes are still a fun time.
