Who would have thought that a horror movie which was based on a book and made into a TV movie 27 years ago will make going to the movies fun again!! It, written by Stephen King in 1986, brought out our fear of clowns. The 1990 version with an iconic performance of Tim Curry as Pennywise the Dancing Clown scared my generation of the circus staple. This year, Bill Skarsgard, son of Stellan and brother of Alexander, steps out of his family shadows to deliver a scary yet funny performance of the character.
However, the real stars are the ones who are a part of "The Losers Club", a group of kids who are constantly being bullied in school. Their banter of jokes and insults among each other brought out their comic talents and makes the film's running time of 135 minutes more bearable. The scenes are shot with an eighties touch yet it does not forget this current time by using drone shots in some scenes.
