Most watchable horror movie in recent times

Rating: 9/10 (8 September 2019)

IT Chapter 2 explorers the hidden fears of 7 childhood friends who in their preteen years had 'defeated' Pennywise the evil clown (but not killed). 27 years later, IT returns once again to terrorise the small town of Derry and one by one the children, now adults, reluctantly return to their hometown for one final showdown, this time to finish the job. The movie is filled with the usual sound and visual effects seen in every horror flick, but also gives each character individual time to explore their suppressed fears and anxieties which IT uses to it's own benefit when hunting children.
VFX are awesome quality alongwith the sound. Dialogues provide comic relief in few tense moments.
It's an apt treatment of the Stephen King classic by Andy Muschietti.
Only downside of the movie is its 2hr 49 min runtime, which leads to slow pacing after halftime.
Overall, a fantastic movie which combines elements of typical sound and effects, slashers, enough blood and gore, yet forces you to think and empathise with the character's childhood fears.
