Where's the horror?

Rating: 4/10 (15 September 2019)

After seeing It chapter one I was already dissapointed, but chapter two was really terrible. All the separate components are amazing, but as a whole? Not so much. Yes, the casting is amazing, costumes and make up departments did great, the direction an sich is great too. Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise does a fantastic job, but the movie never gets scary, at all.
Some things I don't get at all. What does the old woman dancing naked in the background add? I think it was supposed to be a creepy scene, but this just made it funny. Same with Richies jokes. Yes, Bill Hader has incredible talent, but here it just ruined the movie for me.
When I go to a horror movie I want to be scared, to get this uncomfortable feeling, like you do get when watching the Shining for example, or the Haunting of Hill house, wich also mastered this. And let's not forget about Alfred Hitchcock.
It chapter two didn't just lach in horror elements it also took too long. At some point I was just trying to look at my watch in the theater to check how much longer I needed to endure this movie. A lot of scenes just dragged on and took way too long, Bill reaching for Georgie in the sewer e.g. That just took way too long, we all know what's going to happen, so just let it!
Overall, I had a good laugh during some of the movie, but it took too long and for a horror movie it just wasn't scary at all.
