Aquí entre nos, las películas e historias de terror llaman un poco mi atención, aunque tampoco es que sea un experto en el tema ni mucho menos.
De esas historias terroríficas, una de las que mas me gusto fue, sin duda, It (Eso), del genio del terror Stephen King.
Para los que no sepan de que se trata dicho libro, básicamente habla de una criatura que acecha un pueblo de Maine llamado Derry, provocando muertes y dolor cada 27 años, siendo los niños su principal presa.
Tratare de ser breve, y es que It de Stephen King es de los pocos libros que me han enganchado hasta el punto de hacerme leerlos mas de una vez.
Stephen King se las arregla muy bien para escribir libros que retratan lo cotidiano como perturbador e inquietante.
Lo fascinante de este libro es como el antagonista, It o Pennymise, atormenta a los protagonistas, un club de niños llamado el Club de los Perdedores, usando sus propios miedos contra ellos, materializando sus mas profundos traumas.

Pennywise es de las criaturas ficticias mas fascinantes que he conocido, no solo por su forma tan particular de acechar a sus presas, si no por todo el misterio que lo envuelve, ya que ni siquiera se sabe con exactitud que cosa es. Por algo los Perdedores lo llamaron It (Eso), "una cosa", nombre que le queda como anillo al dedo.
Siempre me encantara ese tipo de terror psicológico, porque es un tipo de terror diferente al que uno se acostumbra.
En lo que a las películas refiere, se hicieron dos: una en 1990 y otra mas reciente de 2017.
Respecto a la del 2017, en mi opinión, espectacular. Bill Skarsgård hizo un trabajo increíble en el papel de Pennywise, metiéndose de lleno en el papel del payaso demoniaco, entregándonos un payaso violento, siniestro, y bestial, digno de recordar.

En cuanto a la anterior, de 1990, de la cual a penas se, lo poco que vi de la actuación de Tim Curry en el papel de Pennywise me pareció espectacular. Dándonos un payaso menos violento que el de Bill, y en su lugar nos entrega un Pennywise un poco mas carismático y alegre, haciéndoles a sus presas imposible sospechar que se trata de una trampa.
Bueno, les hable un poco de los libros y las películas de It, mas que nada el principal antagonista, cuéntenme, ¿qué les pareció? ¿algo que aportar?

Here among us, horror movies and stories call my attention, although I am not an expert on the subject, far from it.
Of those terrifying stories, one of the ones I liked the most was, without a doubt, It, by horror genius Stephen King.
For those who don't know what the book is about, it basically talks about a creature that stalks a town in Maine called Derry, causing death and pain every 27 years, being children its main prey.
I will try to be brief, and that is that It by Stephen King is one of the few books that have hooked me to the point of making me read them more than once.
Stephen King manages to write books that portray the everyday as disturbing and unsettling.
What is fascinating about this book is how the antagonist, It or Pennymise, torments the protagonists, a club of kids called the Losers Club, using their own fears against them, materializing their deepest traumas.

Pennywise is one of the most fascinating fictional creatures I have ever met, not only because of his particular way of stalking his prey, but also because of all the mystery that surrounds him, since we don't even know exactly what he is. It's not for nothing that the Losers called it "It", "a thing", a name that fits it like a glove.
I will always love that kind of psychological horror, because it's a different kind of horror that you get used to.
As far as the movies are concerned, two were made: one in 1990 and a more recent one in 2017.
Regarding the 2017 one, in my opinion, spectacular. Bill Skarsgård did an incredible job in the role of Pennywise, getting fully into the role of the demonic clown, giving us a violent, sinister, and bestial clown, worthy of remembering.

As for the previous one, from 1990, of which I barely know, the little I saw of Tim Curry's performance in the role of Pennywise seemed spectacular to me. Giving us a less violent clown than Bill, and instead gives us a Pennywise a little more charismatic and cheerful, making it impossible for his prey to suspect that it is a trap.
Well, I told you a little about the books and movies of It, more than anything the main antagonist, tell me, what did you think? anything to contribute?
