IT has everything you want and more

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2019)

First off let me preface this with, in this era it's incredibly difficult for an actual horror fan to be "scared" by anything, especially a horror meant to appeal to the masses outside super fans.
The cast is phenomenal but Hader and McAvoy shine through, their performances are engaging, emotional, and will draw you in. Don't get me wrong the rest of the cast carries their performances very well also.
The length of the movie, to me, would only be a problem if you're not here for the story, if you want to know Pennywise's origins, and have a deeper dive into the mental state of each character than this movie is for you. If you just wanted to be scared and have a story that moves it might be a little slow at times but you may still enjoy it.
The gore is well done, I don't have a problem with the CGI scenes they were done really well, looking even better than the first film. There are many scenes that filled me with dread or anxiety, very little "fear" but I can't remember the last time a movie scared me. The disturbing factor is 10/10 in my opinion and if that's your cup of tea you'll absolutely love this film.
