Classic: kids in a horror movie, works every time
This movie consists of brilliant acting accompanied with an amazing story that is executed to high standards. It is also an excellent remake of the original Stephen King's IT. The classic kids in a horror movie works weel for this movie as it acts as a juxtaposition between the innocence of children and the evil of Penny-wise the dancing clown. Many horror movies will use this classic cliche, however this movie stands out with its extraordinary acting and unsuspecting plot points. As the audience you are inticed in the screen and feel as though you are living the story in reality with these innocent children, evoking more fear. After you finish the movie the idea of Penny-wise remains in your mind, sending shivers down your spine. This is what makes this movie so damn good; it stays with you even after the movie is finished. - vickiemarie78 - 18 September 2022
Not Scary
I've never been a horror movie fan, but my mom had me watch every Stephen King movie (and miniseries). I always covered my eyes and watched peeking through my fingers. The original version was creepy and scary. It was a good story though. As someone who doesn't seek out most of these types of movies, I wasn't interested in seeing this. However, my daughter has been begging to see this. I finally gave in and figured I'd just turn it off whenever she got spooked. She never flinched. I didn't either. Not. Once. I asked her if the clown was scary. She said "no. He's not real." I don't know what it was... too much CGI or jump scares as others have said. I'm really not sure, but it didn't scare us in the least.
The characters weren't bad, but it felt like we only got a superficial layer of their stories, so I didn't connect with them like I wanted to.
