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.

The first and best adaptation of Kings seminal masterpiece of horror. Best because The Losers Club is a team, not split apart. Beverley is as strong as she was in the book, not some kidnap victim, Bill is an author in training, Mike is the smartest. The remake turned a group of tough growing up kids hunting a vicious monster into a rescue mission...

What is It, In this spine tingling horror based off the book IT by Stephen King, we see a friendly and coach warming group known to some and them selves as "the losers club" right now, this TV series may sound like an idiotic thing to do, but u are absolutely wrong, because it gets worst, we start to see flash backs going back and fourth to introduce the characters and we absolutely adore them with their childish peckish ways, well scratch that I meant to say some adore them, mostly little kids who are scared from clowns. Later on we find out there's been a few murders dome by a bad hair day clown, and after we find that out, we learn the so called leader of the losers club, brothers had died due to the clown, so either for revenge, so the clown can't harm anyone or because they thought they could get money off this mini TV series which drove to disaster. But just like any other movie they kill the clown, (again) and then just like any Stephen King movie "OR DID HE" but I'm hoping the remake is better, I mean when isn't a remake good right? 😉

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.
