Review of It (2017) by Bn333 — 07 Sep 2017
By the numbers modern horror only slightly saved by the premise. Humor, creepy factor lacking compared with the original film/s including the IT it is re-imagining. Feels more forced then genuine. Lacks the chemistry, wit and production quality of the original. Poorer attempt at a Stand by Me/ Big Chill that the original mini film series perfected. Cast less cohesive then previous attempts and personalities feel less defined. Humor feels off compared with Currys taunting. Pennywise lacks the cohesive human/monster combo that Tim Curry's Pennywise represented, feels disjointed in comparison and should have been scarier. Effects are a wee bit off at times which distract from any genuine scare attempt.
Film feels like a missed opportunity.
