Review of It (2017) by Abdulmalik A — 30 Dec 2017
To say that the 2017 take on Stephen King's Magnum Clown Opus IT is better than the 1990 mini-series is an understatement. The mini-series was a punishing nearly four-hour mix of a pretty good kids' story and a nearly impossible to watch adult story.
Jettisoning the adult story in favor of focusing on the far superior kids' story from King's novel, the 2017 IT crafts a tightly wound, creepy horror flick that plays on some serious issues about grief and abuse while delivering the kind of machine tooled jump scares that modern audiences go to the movies for.
