this is the only time where the unfounded fears of children about clowns being demonic creatures have been given evidence, facinating to think that this movie may have single handedly killed an entire profession.

If you hate clowns already, stay away from IT. If you don't, you'll hate them AFTER you see this movie! An awesome Stephen King book-turned-movie, and Tim Curry is fucking evil as Pennywise the Dancing Clown who terrorizes a group of kids (later adults) in the small town of Dairy.

I watched it when it came out, as a 12-year old looking for action-packed horrorfests. The only thing I can remember clearly is that I wanted to dig it but was by and large bored. Most of Stephen King's stuff struggles to be interesting anyway, and here the same mistake was made as with Salem's Lot: Overstretching Stephen King adaptations does not cure them of their dreary mediocrity.

This is some pretty creepy shit when you're 10 years old. I've never read the book and don't care to, so I don't know how they compare. "They all float down here..."

The first half of the film that revolves around the children is suprisingly entertaining and well acted. The adults are actually more annoying than the kids in a movie for once. If compared against the quality of the book it just fails. The most redeeming aspect is of course, Tim Currey. He eats scenes in this movie like a machine designed for the soul purpose of eating scenes in mediocre long movies. He set the bar for acting the menacing clown archetype so high that it just can't be beaten.

So I was reading this book, called 'It'. I just finished it, and hell, I couldn't sleep by night. So I went to the nearest rental place to home, and rented a film, 'It'. It reminded me a little that book, and I thought it was based on the book, but after the first scene, it was clear enough it wasn't. After watching this film, I took the book out of the bookshelf, and cracked myself out from just looking at it. A great medicine for Coulrophobics. The book deserves more.

Fairly high score for nostalgic purposes. Although, Tim Curry is fantastic as Pennywise the Clown.

There are some films I rate highly because of reasons that don't often fall into that of a regular critique. I'm aware that the second half of the film turns into a horrid comedy and ruins the atmosphere of the first half, but I still love it. I love it because I love Pennywise himself. Because Curry is so brilliant. And because I first caught a glimpse of him when I was very young and he destroyed my life every time I had to go to sleep for years. For so long I thought I had dreamed he existed.
