A funhouse horror flick.. I liked it better than the first chapter.

Rating: 9/10 (30 September 2019)

A fun horror movie.. The long running time didn't bother me at all, and I actually think it worked better being almost three hours long. The whole movie felt more Stephen King-y to me than some of his other adaptations. From what I've read they stuck very close to his novel with this second part and I'm glad they did. If you're a fan of The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror episodes, the movie kind of reminded me of that, except in a movie version with real people. Where as some people found the CGI to be cheesy and overdone at times, I felt it worked quite well and the effects were very neat and coolly put together. The adult versions of the kids are spot on and every actor is good in their role. Bill Hader is funny in it and actually so is James Ransone for that matter. There are plenty of jump scares to be had and I must say I enjoyed the second part better than the first. People will disagree with this but hey you still get a good dose of the kid actors in this one too. Also Bill Skarsgard brings back the creep factor again as Pennywise! 8.75/10
