Taking place in a small town called Derry (sorry lactose intolerants), the film IT follows a group of social outcasts struggling to fit in with the rest of the crowd. Along their journey to take down a group of bullies, they start to notice that there is more to this town than meets the eye. We see this through the lens of Bill (Richard Thomas, Jaeden Lieberher), a young boy who has tragically lost his brother Georgie (Tony Dakota, Jackson Robert Scott). Little does he know, the peculiar events taking place in his town are caused by a clown named Pennywise (Tim Curry, Bill Skarsgard), who is far from ordinary. He cannot be killed by any normal means, can cause hallucinations, and only comes out from hiding every 27 years to kill a new batch of kids. After fighting Pennywise and his hallucinations that are specific to every child in the group, they finally defeat Pennywise once and for all... or so they thought.
Overall, I loved both of these movies. The 1990 edition gave me some good laughs, while 2017 left me terrified. Who wasn't left terrified after 2017 though? I would tell anyone to watch these if they want a good bad horror movie, or a scary horror movie with character.
