And I know everyone who were kids back in the 90s had seen or heard about IT when it came out and it had a whole lot of us scared shitless lol. Especially since a lot of shit like that actually happened back then. And I think for some people back in the 90s when the movie came out that’s what really terrified them the most as kids. One thing that really stood out to me about the 90s version is that Pennywise seems more like a serial killer clown that would actually terrorize kids and kill them. But I guess that’s kind of the whole point. Now don’t get me wrong the 90s version is great and all but I rewatched it after seeing the 2017 version and it’s low key cringe and comical in a way.

It's been a long time since I've seen a real good horror movie.īack to the point, would you say the movie would impress me? I'm not stuck on it having to be exactly like the book, so I guess that helps? I just don't feel like wasting my time.I prefer the 2017 version, it was a lot more terrifying and emotional to me personally. I've been a fan of horror movies about my whole life, but to me a horror movie is a movie that is genuinely scary, not a movie that exists only out of jumpscares (which seems to be the main thing in all horror movies lately, making them boring as they barely have a plot). Those who were negative seemed to be the real horror/Stephen King fans, and so I waited a while with watching the movie. There were people who thought it was brilliant, and people who thought it had failed on lots of aspects. I just wonder how far the movie meets the expectations. Anyways, I know that the story behind It is amazing, and I've read the book a few times. Now that chapter 2 is coming out I feel like it's time to watch the first one. I'm very late to the craze but usually when something is very hyped I kind of wait for awhile because otherwise I either get spoiled or the crowd that you're with in cinemas ruins the experience for you.
