IT is a Stephen King classic about a shape-shifting creature living under the town of Derry, Maine. When IT awakens, children start to go missing. A band of kids who call themselves the Loser's Club decide to stand up to IT... or else they might go missing themselves...
There are actually two movies based on this novel. Stephen King's IT (1990) was a 3-hour made-for TV movie that brought the horrifying novel to life. Last year, IT (2017) was released, being only chapter one. The second and final chapter will release in Sept 2019. Unlike the original movie, which bounces back and forth between the characters as kids and 30 years later as adults, the new film tells the children's tale, while its sequel will take place 27 years later.
I watch a lot of horror movies (can you tell?) so I've become very desensitized to horror. But I saw this movie in theaters and I have to say, this is the first movie in over a decade that has actually frightened me. I daresay this is my all-time favorite horror movie. The original 1990s film is like a comedy flick compared to this. (Seriously - Tim Curry's Pennywise the Clown is hilarious to watch!)
If you want a truly terrifying experience, you can't miss this movie. And keep an eye out for its sequel a year from now!
