This movie was pretty tight. Hollywood seems to be in a 80s styled nostalgia grip but this was very well executed. For me the kids absolutely nailed their performances. Pennywise was pretty darn scary but had a few stray moments like his jukebox performance:
And when he straight up goes pettywise and says "I'm not real enough for you? I was real enough for Georgie."
Ouch. Right in the nuts.
But overall IT was a welcome change from all the jumpscare horror movies we've had recently.
Totally agreed. He's mix of dark humour and pure terror hit all the right spots. Though I remember even with that famous "dancing Pennywise" scene, it looked funny at first but still hid something sick and twisted beneath. The audience didn't know whether to laugh and be downright terrified at its weirdness!
Love that emotional play... :)
Yep, its unpredictability is almost charismatic. I think we are yet to see the best of it. If we have the same characters in the sequel, all grown up as hinted, then it'll be really interesting how the more complex fears of adults are manifested.
