Stephen King's IT - September 8th 2017.
 

omg :worry:

I think it looks a lot less creepy than the older version tbh.

this looks great :flutter:

the original was crap

I am perched

Urgh, I love **** like this. Would watching the original IT tonight make this better or worse for me? I've never seen it.

probably worse bc it's honestly garbage :worry: i've never understood the hype

Fair, its probably super dated-looking is it?

I only just realised that gif was your sig, I thought you were just being bitchy in your posts haha

yeah like i don't think i've even seen the entire movie bc i always get bored of it

I think the TV film is worth a watch. It's definitely creepy, not exactly scary though. It sort of plays on the physiological psychological (:laugh:) affect a lot more, as oppose to the film that is seemingly fitting the conventions of the horror genre.

I think this one looks a lot more generic. I always found the original really creepy and I think it still holds up really well.

The original is your typical cheesy 80's horror I guess. What people love so much about it is that Pennywise didn't look "scary" he just looked like a regular clown that you'd see at any funfair/circus, which for clown-fearers was petrifying. Tim Curry played him amazingly though but the special effects are a bit meh (the real alien/spider appearance etc). The clown is much scarier looking in this one.

This one looks awesome I have to say! Genuinely hair-raising.

At the big Comic Con that was on last week in the USA they showed an exclusive scene to an audience there where Pennywise was chewing and playing with a child's severed arm... wow.

Your taste continues to be trash tbh!

I'd recommend watching it but keep in mind that aspects of it are dated.

I'm going to (sorry, Scott)! I'm too curious now.

Looks excellent can't wait to see it :)

Couple of TV spots have been released

NEW 3D VR experience - better with headphones...

I never saw the first one either but I look forward to this. :clap1:

The first one terrified me....loved stephen king films....It and Salems Lot ensured I didnt get a whole lot of sleep

New clip:

God I hate clowns

Out Friday.

All early screening reviews have been phenomenal, saying it's equally funny as it is terrifying and that although this movie is based around "children", it's gory af.

Has anyone seen this? Going next Friday

middle girl LT is watching right now and im sat here like a fecking clown waiting to go and pick her up so i cant have a glass of wine

:bored:

I saw this earlier, it was brilliant. Anyone who's read the book, there are loads of little "callbacks", like streetnames and posters you didn't realise you remembered, if that makes sense? It felt like the Derry from the book, fersure.
It was effectively scary too. It wasn't just jump scares either!

Seeing it thursday

I'll chip in to the "old movie" thing - watch the first half. As individuals the adult actors are fine, but they're just not as interesting to watch as the kids. Maybe it's the writing in the first half, maybe there was more going on, maybe the kids just had better chemistry together than the adults,but the second half is just boring.

Seeing it monday

Perched to watch this on Wednesday.

Saw earlier, absolutely brilliant. As terrifying as it is hilarious in parts, the kids are awesome, Bill is awesome as Pennywise. Just so, so good!

All I'm gonna say: the projector scene. Omg, the whole audience SCREAMED!

The ushers in the cinema were dressed as IT and people were absolutely petrified, was awesome.

wow can't wait to watch this now

Saw this earlier and it was FANTASTIC. No other words. Can't remember the last time I enjoyed any film as much as I did this.

It wasn't even necessarily very scary, but it was packed to the brim with charm and The Losers were cast perfectly (and don't even get me started on Pennywise).

My only criticism is that the film was too reliant upon CGI-scares and some of those scenes felt too abrupt with not enough mystery or build-up, but everything else was brilliant. Extremely well acted and a great script. The chemistry amongst the actors was magnetic, and probably the best part about the movie.

I agree re the chemistry

Yeah even if you don't find it scary you cam appreciate it as a good film, like all Seven have their own little character arcs and shizz

A few of the girls said it was ****e so idk whether to see it or not

I'd see for yourself tbh

Reviews have been outstanding
