Movie spotlight
In a small town in Maine, seven children known as The Losers Club come face to face with life problems, bullies and a monster that takes the shape of a clown called Pennywise.
In the summer of 1989, a group of outcast kids known as the Losers' Club in the small town of Derry, Maine, find themselves being terrorized by an ancient, shapeshifting evil that awakens every 27 years. This malevolent entity, which primarily takes the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown, preys on children and feeds on their fears. The Losers' Club must band together to confront their deepest fears and stop the supernatural clown before it can claim any more victims.
It was a massive critical and commercial success, praised for its terrifying atmosphere, strong performances, particularly from Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise and the young cast as the Losers' Club, and its effective blend of horror and coming-of-age drama. While some critics noted pacing issues or deviations from the source material, the overall reception was overwhelmingly positive.

Every 27 years, the town of Derry experiences sudden, violent and inexplicable mayhem. In 1989, a group of school children rather unkindly called "The Losers Club" decide it is for them to investigate just what has happened. Led by "Bill" (...
Greatest remake of a movie ever made in my opinion. Even way scary then the original. Remade the death scenes way better as well. Love it!
Great acting, memorable characters. One of the best (horror?) films I've watched.
It is a movie that looked interesting, but I wasn't necessarily anticipating, because it had the potential to be awful. After seeing it, I can say that while it is good, I don't think it's nearly as good as other people are saying it is, an...
Something certainly rings true in the horror thriller **It** that capitalizes on that common known fear that clowns are creepy annoyances to those that have an intense phobia towards them. In the case of **It’s** dastardly powder-faced joyb...
If you are gonna watch this movie go to the theatres and watch it...It's way more scarier than Annabelle: Creation and you will have lots of jump scares too.
More _Fucked-Up-Coming-of-Age_ than _Monster-Movie-Slasher-Horror_. Which is what it should be, but perhaps not what it's marketed to be. Stephen King's _It_ is one of my all time favourite books, and I don't know that it will ever get a fa...
**This movie went right to the trash.** I cannot believe what Warner Bros has done for this piece of trash. Yes, there have been rave reviews for this movie, but we recommend that you do not mind them, as we should not be teaching children...
"Skarsgård goes to hell and back to craft a truly malevolent creation, utterly believable as the black soul of King’s cursed small town..." Read the full review here: http://screen-space.squarespace.com/reviews/2017/9/6/it.html
