The story and how it is presented are pretty straight forward. Pennywise terrorizes a small town every 27 years killing children. A group of children with their own issues in life are potential targets but band together to fend off the horrific jester. There just wasn't that one thing that made me go wow. I really liked Pennywise, the actors and the story. It just isn't a movie that after first watch makes me think I'll want to see it over and over. Sometimes movies grow on me and they has the chance to be one of those for me. The movie It Follows was that way for me. It also sets itself up for a part two as this movie only deals with the parts of the book covering the lives of the main characters during their childhood. I definitely think anyone who thinks they may enjoy It, whether they are a fan of Stephen King, the book, the first movie or the genre should go see the movie.

I don't think I'll watch it in the theaters... but if HBO, Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon get it... I'll give it a shot. I haven't really been a huge fan of horror films since my Children of the Corn days.
ReplyDeleteChildren of the Corn is definitely a classic but that does go way back. If you aren't a fan of the genre it is definitely something you can wait on.
