Review of It (2017) by Jamie C — 10 Oct 2017

A movie that on one hand I loved and on the other I felt a little let down, First off I never read the book but I did see the original 2 Part series, The story was brilliant and very well told, It's full of so many intense moments and jump scares but only a few came off, My main problem was that it was not scary, The movie was so over sold in being one of the best horrors ever but it wasn't, Yes it was freaky and a little uneasy at times but I never felt fear or wanting to look away from the screen, Bill Skarsgard was an amazing Pennywise he was so freaky and fun to watch he really made the film as good as it was, It took me a while to like the cast as I found them all annoying when all they did was insult each other and trade pointless sex jokes but they grew on me and the friendship they build really ends up working well in the film, It's so much better than the original and it is one of the better films of 2017 but it was over hyped in the horror department.
