Review of It (2017) by Peter Bradshaw for Guardian — 04 Sep 2017
The problem is that almost everything here looks like route one scary-movie stuff that we have seen before: scary clowns, scary old houses, scary bathrooms. In their differing ways, Brian De Palma and Stanley Kubrick were inspired by the potency of King’s source material to create something virulently distinctive and original.
This film’s director, Andy Muschietti, can’t manage quite as much.
