About this movie

It can be anything. A fanged monster that won't stay on the movie screen. Something ominous lurking in the basement. No matter what your biggest fear is, no one knows It better than Stephen King. Based on the King Of Horror's 1986 bestseller, It is a jittery, jolting excursion into personal fear. A malevolent force in a small New England town takes the shape of a clown, but he's not clowning around. Instead, he terrifies youngsters and brings some to their untimely doom - until some wily kids fight back. The evil resurfaces 30 years later: meaner, angrier, deadlier. And friends who vividly remember youthful terrors reunite to fight It.

After watching the 2017 version (and loving it) I was beyond excited when the 1990's version came on the TV. However I didn't find it scary in the slightest and I was disappointed by the ending. IT (1990) was not at all what I was expecting and I was disappointed by the actual horror part of it. However I rather enjoyed the touching scenes from when they were children and this Pennywise is a lot MEANER than in 2017. Even though he's less frightening he is much better at being a nasty clown that eats kids rather than a relatively nice one that eats kids.

It's ok I guess. Its very slow paced. Most of the action is the loser club when they are adults. It gets unevenly split. I think the new one is far better. New pennywise's look is far better compared to this. I Think the story just flows better in the 2017 version with Neibolt house and the club seems to hold a better bond with another

Absolute rubbish! Compared with the original it is a shameful effort to milk the theme. Do not waste your money and time. I still cannot believe I sat through it hoping for it to get better!!
