someone in the front row released a red balloon during the movie and the whole theatre lost their shit

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…

"time to float"

JUST earns 4 stars, because what it gets right, it REALLY gets right. does for horror what super 8 did for sci fi. i'm still trying to figure out exactly where i stand, and it might be too early to tell, but this feels like something special (or even just on the brink of it)

you should probably catch this in theaters (if you can handle it)

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…

there was one scene where finn wolfhard's character calls the Token Dream Girl "molly ringwald" after she says something cheesy and it's so comforting to know that even in a fictional maine town where a killer clown is literally eating children alive, miss molly kathleen ringwald remains the icon of the 80s
Review by Wes ★★★½

this was good and everything but why did they have to give pennywise red hair i mean it was awkward enough being the only redhead in the theater but if you gave this demonic child-eating clown red hair thats just inviting my ass to get beat in this theater

Review by Niall Greenlees ★★★★

I read Stephen King's novel by the same name when I was about 15/16 and have been reading King ever since.
For me then perhaps the film has an added layer of nostalgia beyond the relatability of the kids and their growing up in the film.
But the kids are so incredibly good in a way child actors very rarely are and it is dark and entertaining and genuinely scary and Pennywise steals every sequence he is involved in and it teaches you to face your fears and stick together and don't worry about being a Loser and I love it and I think it might be brilliant.

STILL the best movie of the year.
Review by Modus Operandi ★★★½

's OK.

I think that clowns and toothy creatures have run their course as horror staples to horror cliches and are now, at least on some level silly, no matter how well done. With that in mind, the movie was done about as well as it could be, I think. Then again I haven't read the book, so I might be wrong.
Review by VV ★★★★

I’d only heard It director Andy Muschietti’s name said in interviews, never seen it spelled out and I honestly thought it was Andy Machete. like he took a Rob Zombie-esque pen name and in Muschietti’s case I was totally on board with it because he was pairing the most non-threatening first name with fucking Machete as a last name and I just had this amazing Pixar-style Danny Trejo image of the dude in my head.

Review by sarah ★★★★

it’s hard to write a review for something you enjoyed so much!

having almost finished the book, I found that although the adaption was loose it parts (eg the exclusion of the macroverse, changing of some of the visions of IT) I found that it was mostly faithful in the parts in needed to be. Except, Mike Hanlon’s storyline was totally butchered (no pun intended) for no reason. The fact that the book is so heavily focused on the close relationship Mike had with his parents and the history of the town, it felt like removing it was basically taking away his character.

ONTO THE GOOD STUFF - the cast was overall IMPECCABLE. The chemistry and characterisation was fantastic! I…

Review by Rainie ★★★★

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

This movie wasn't too scary overall, but the numerous jumpscares were pretty dope. I really liked the plot in terms of how the curse that befell the town came about. Also, great that the kids are given the credit that they deserve in contrast to their flawed parental figures, be it a perverted father or an overprotective mother. Also, isn't it true that nothing can haunt us if we face our fears head-on?
Appreciate the slightly sinister ending as well, telling us that this is only 'Chapter One'.
