Hands down the best time I've had at the movies all year. It is a fucking blast!

Basically The Goonies with a demonic killer clown.

The kid from Stranger Things steals the entire movie. His one liners were absolute gold. My sides were acing. He says this one line after the rock fight and I was crying real tears.

All of the kids were exceptional. Every single kid knocks it out of the park. Everyone has their own distinct personalities, characteristics, quips, and quirks. The chemistry between the group was outstanding. There's so much great banter among one another I haven't seen this type of group comradery between kids since The Goonies and Stand Bye Me. Mind you, those movies…

87

Pitch-Black danger; the first "'New Line Cinema' in spirit" horror joint. Successfully embodies the commitment to shockers of the 80s while ignoring, but not condemning, the ever-present faux-tactility of the 90s and their rebellion to a growing canon of Horror movie-making. Hiring Chung-Hoon Chung as its cinematographer was truly a blessing. It would make for a perfect capper of a Halloween night with Jason Goes to Hell, New Nightmare, and The Mangler, and it's just brimming with aesthetic creativity entirely concerned with genre replication. It goes far and away past 'homage', severing the Spielbergian myth at its elbow with a cleaver straight out of In the Mouth of Madness. A little uneven tonally, but so is the source, and…

CW: brief reference to CSA

I have questions.

Are all of the adults in Derry complicit in this (yes, painting of a woman dropping the baby in the well, I saw you) or just incredibly incompetent? How is an accident that killed 88 children something that has to be discovered and not, you know, the subject of a yearly memorial service that all of the kids except the new one would at least be somewhat familiar with? How is a pillar of (magically floating) bodies and detritus under a large vent letting in sunlight something the police or other authorities were unable to find? How did they never search the sewers? How is it a bunch of kids were able…

I have been noticing that we have lost that touch it horror that we use to have. Now CGI is considered th new horror and it just doesn’t work. Back in th days we have so many iconic horror movies with that ONE SCENE which is the most scariest and horrifying of them all. Now the problem well many of th problem of this movie is that every time PennyWise is on screen I tries to recreate that one iconic scene that will be what this movie is remembered for in the future...I don’t see a scene that this will be remembered for but there is definitely that meme dance move, so a meme will help people remember the horror’s…

Summer at the movies in 2017 was bleak, so what a kick it was to have this crowd-pleasing fright-fest hit big and scare the shit out of all of us. The evil clown Pennywise (a scary and superb Bill Skarsgard, brother of Alexander) is the stuff that nightmares are made of, a true screen villain. The trailers hyped a movie that doesn’t totally live up to its promise, especially with that punishing 2 hour and 15 minutre runtime that only covers half of the Stephen King best-seller. But IT works enough to be a solid scarefest.
