Is it weird that when a person got brutally stabbed to death I thought "I wish we could see this in more graphic detail"
A crappy remake rather than an actual adaptation, this absolutely guts King's novel, but even setting that aside it also just squanders all that melancholy rumination and filial anxiety in favor of magnifying or arbitrarily twisting the clunkiest and/or most literal scary gags from the old (imperfect but still much better) movie. Big missed opportunity.
The ending was so sinister and shocked me for a while. Love it. Also that weird fuckin' cat can act.
Before I get started on this review I am gonna quickly mention the book which It's based on and the previous adaptation of that book. The book is amazing and one of King's best works but the 1989 film…sucks. I kind of hate it. And the cult following It's gathered over the years confuses me. And what's more confusing is that people keep calling It a faithful adaptation despite the fact that there's not a mention of The Wendigo, entire characters from the book are nowhere to be seen, Jud's character is absent in favour of a stereotype and the genuine fear from the book is replaced with cheap gore BUT SURE, faithful adaptation right there.
Okay so I'm done…
